Comment on TikTok allegedly monitoring users’ Grindr activity, digital rights group claims
MareOfNights@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoI don’t think its a good source for any of these, because its short videos. You don’t actually look for information there, because searching for specific these specific videos is hard. If you want specific information you gotta read, because text-based info is searchable.
Recipes are on recipe websites, interesting places in local forums, same with rare languages. Tutorials are all over the internet.
Protest are definetly not on the Chinese run social media, unless China wants it to be amplified.
It’s maybe good for memes.

Videos come with hashtags which are text and thus searchable, then the algorithm recommends similar videos or other with the same keywords that are related.
A lot of information is better in a visual format than text: tourism guides and art for example.
Sure but you must know the forums and they have way less user base than TT where you have all content with a single search engine.
Yes there are a lot, note that they have a different feed for chinese citizens where there are probably way less.
