Same, but like it's not even good. Like I bet tiktok works because the algorithm is good and shows stuff you actually want to watch, but on YouTube Shorts I skip over most of them. Still keep scrolling tho
It doesn't really seem like it honestly. My buddy's girlfriend watches a lot of tiktok and it usually looks like multiple minutes of flicking past random bullshit to find one thing she likes, then rinse and repeat.
At least on Lemmy when I'm scrolling multiple pages of shit to find something I like, I'm not being immediately assaulted by your video I didn't want to watch on every post I scroll past.
Lol dude come on. You're really trying to pretend you scrolling past content on here is somehow different? And you're speaking for someone else with no personal experience yourself? This whole post is giving boomers from Reddit tbh
Why are you supporting tiktok so strongly in this whole comment section, are you trying to convince people to waste their time on another app which only purpose is to use your time instead of doing something useful? TikTok is poison for ADHD as it is only another thing you can waste many hours of your life on, which is stopping you from actually doing the things that need to be done.
Hours enjoyed aren't hours wasted. You don't have to be productive to be happy. I'm just disappointed in my fellow millennials. The way you all sound like boomers on Facebook weirds me out. The way you pretend your flavor of social media somehow makes you superior is entertaining at least.
I mostly agree with them though, because a lot of the content on tiktok is pretty much useless stuff that wastes your time you have to scroll a lot to actually get somthing useful that is well researched. On lemmy most of the posts have proper content and articles(ignoring memes).
Something doesn't have to be useful or well researched to be worth your time. It's ok to just be entertained for a while.
For me it's more about how much time it actually wastes in a single sessions which stops you from doing stuff you wanted to do. I have used it before and had exactly this issue because the algorithm worked too well
