My only friend that really sends me memes started using TikTok a year or so ago, and sends the strangest, out of context shit. Like it will just start halfway into the action and end before it’s over, and I’m just like wtf did I just watch?

Half the shit these people send me is just someone staring weirdly at the camera or pointing up to text. There's no point in it being a video. It's just the text they want me to read. That angers me so much.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s really cringe, and even more cringe to realize that the general populace loves that shit

Eh, I was a misanthrope WAY before tiktok came along.

Or someone overlaid their face over another video as a "reaction" but they contribute nothing of value to the original video

Strange out of context shit is what Tiktok does best - if you let it.

If your tiktok is all politics or dancing girls it's your own fault. Train your algorithm to be dadaist and absurd.

It's great.
