Ya it's literally the easiest way to get a quick video on something you wanna learn. Not to mention (unlike other platforms) you get a friendly face that teaches it to you
i wanted to learn how to do a certain knot once, and tiktok has short to-the-point videos, while youtube was filled with 10+minutes videos with long introductions, sponsors, long speeches on why you might want to know that knot,...
Right! I don’t get the hate
Because there's no critical thought about who is delivering that information to you, where they got it from, what biases and/or agendas they may or may not have, etc...
If you are learning about the world through 15 second videos of a random internet stranger talking about a subject, then you are going to end up with a fucked up (and just objectively incorrect) worldview. But I guess it's OK because they have a friendly face.
You comment as if me reading your 15 second comment isn’t the same. Who are you to judge if unknown viewers think critically? This is a cringe take carried over from reddit
on lemmy you are usually provided sources tho
And videos can’t right? This is really tiring.
they can but usually don't, when tiktok was pretty new I became a nazi because of it and I stayed that until I saw how the government (any and every government) is a corrupt force that lies to you amd hurts you in other ways
The tiktoks I watch provide sources. You gotta get a smarter foryou page
