Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA”
Lfrith@lemmy.ca 16 hours agoFor me its general dislike for influencers and platforms where people are encouraged to put a face behind content, go viral, and make money off of tend to attract those type of content made by those who end up coming off like aspiring infomercial hosts. Like labubu I didn’t even know about until South Park, so it was like kind of awe inspiring what a huge hive mind of mass reach it can be for those part of it.
But then again I don’t like twitch and most big YouTube content creators either for a similar reason, so might be just an anomaly.
I’ve like more the social media where people interact for the sake of interacting, since the foundation for potential monetary pay off or fame just is really poor for that. So more message board type stuff like lemmy, reddit, and old school forums.

You can easily avoid big influencers on the app. It’s a lot of small people sharing bits and pieces of their individual lives for entertainment And Education It’s so great.

It is too social for me. I’m not interested in a platform that tends to push people to put a face or name behind an account. I prefer it to just be like the conversation we are having now where you are just another random user name.
And I perceive more positives to not using social media like tiktok, twitter, or Instagram with huge corporate backing than using it. So no thank you. And times those social media even comes up as a useful search result has been pretty much zero.

Well, we do live in a social world, and regardless of what people will tell you, the Internet is not fake, it’s very real, but I’m not going to try to convince you to check it out, just let you know that you are missing some quality information content, and maybe new favorite people that you wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.

I’m no interested in tiktok. I don’t need tiktok for a social connection. I wasn’t here for a recruitment to tiktok, but just answering your initial question of providing a viewpoint to those that dislike it. I respect your right to use tiktok or any other alternatives. It just happens to be not for me.
