    Only use it via browser and wasn’t even aware of such feature nor do I care. These short videos are a rabbit hole I don’t want to explore because there’s no coming back

      I’ve used them several times. Every time I get 3-4 videos deep and get pissed off because it lacks basic functionality, there’s zero curation so it’s just a stream of shit, the content is shit because they try to cram it into a vertical video, a format that makes zero sense, and I come away from every video thinking “WTF did I just watch?”

      Seriously this segment of entertainment truly befuddles me.

        yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was

        I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away

        which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage

        I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy
