Holy crap that’s bad, and that’s why I want nothing to do with TikTok, ever.

Quick short videos.

With how fast one can (without self-control) ingest media/information it shouldn't be a surprise that a shortening attention span is the end result (I'm certainly no exception, though not with TikTok; thank God).

However TikTok plays right into that. Short, easily digestible videos in an never ending feed.

That's why I'd say so many like it, because it requires little thought

@itsDigitallyDone That's kind of sad in a way. People are just getting addicted to some dumb app and suffering from it.
