TikTok is poisoning our youth, and poisoning society. Exploring TikTok live has yielded disturbing results of inappropriate content, and predatory interaction.
Underage users are engaging in a system that obfuscates what it is really for, and what it's really for... is disgusting. All parents should carefully consider whether or not this app should be present in their families lives.

i hate tiktok, its caused every kid my age to morph into one single personality and now 80 percent of people at my school are unbearable
bro my entire school vapes and have the same haircut,they even talk the same
Npcs
@@slowdust9541 If they all vape, I can’t imagine the smell.
Literally
I feel you, I’m in 6th, young but I understand the stupidity these people show. I don’t get why kids my age can’t shut up every now and then and accept the fact that they need to listen
TikTok should get shut down. And parents should parent their kids.
Parents should, but most of them probably suffer the same as well or are more childish then their own children.
Dude, you gotta rub the lamp first.
Yo, even parents are on ThickThots
If second statement held true, first statement would be moot. Unfortunately, you cannot sanitize the world. There are those who are trying and it is not to our benefit.
@@adtrlthegamer7449 There are some books that are great for helping parents raise kids. Maybe start there instead of looking to the rest of the world like TikTok and other platforms for guidance.
Sadly, no tictok users will watch this video. It's too long.
Very very sad 😟😔
Tiktok users are dead brain beings they not even bother watching this video whole
I know. All of my classmates have TikTok, and their attention span is very short, I can’t even have a conversation with one of them, they are too busy scrolling on that app.
yep tiktok brains
Facts
I am a Gen Z kid, I absolutely regret downloading Tiktok. The first time I got it, I was innocent, but soon after I grew into a moody and angry child. I realised after about 2-3 years and instantly deleted it, I have never regretted something so much in my life. Because now I feel that I will never be the same again, social media drains you and especially younger people like me. I now worry for my future and others who continue to use it nonstop, please be careful what you're searching up, it has messed with my mental health and I most definitely know that.
Not RUclips though!
I deleted it 2 years ago. It's very toxic that degenerates our modern society
Same, I hate that app so much .
I think I went through something similar. I wish I never downloaded it. Now everything I see out in the world is a constant reminder. Life is tiktok. I can’t ever get away from it. If it’s not trendy teens, people bending over cause they know their angles, or matchy family outfits. I can’t get away. When I am at work, shopping, DISNEYLAND. I can’t get away. And now I am always annoyed because I know what people are doing.
Same thing happened to my friend. We met at 17, went to prom together she did my makeup I dyed her hair and we hung out until her 22nd birthday. As soon as she got sucked into toxic apps like Tik Tok she just changed. And her rude arrogant behavior was an excused for her being “confident”
I’m sorry girl but being pushy towards a worker who was helping someone before you is not confident. Anytime she gives me new “advice” on how to deal with “toxic men” I and where she got that from. And she said “tik tok”
The thing about tiktok that scares me the most is how, just like tumblr before, it rewards mental illness and victimhood to the point of inducing symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals, usually young girls. It surrounds them with content on how to "cope" as someone with a mental disorder and videos of vague diagnostic criteria that leads to mimicry of the negative behaviours until they're ingrained and can't stop
social media is the reason why Transtrenders exist.
tiktok is an odd way to spell Twitter...
I mean its both. Both of these conditions can be true. This is just a final form evolution of Myspace and Facebook. The grotesque AI profits driven late stage abyssal creature that it is.
Maybe it too will be killed
preach
i hate that short-form contact (reels, shorts, etc.) are becoming highlights of most social media applications... even if you don't use tiktok, the tiktok model/effect is leaking into the rest of the internet. it's nearly impossible to escape
I agree.
Agreed. As an artist especially, I hate having to pander to reels and shorts and what not. I already struggle with lack of motivation so having to be forced to make content I know I won’t be happy with to gain some semblance of an audience is draining
Not only that but of course all the weird or disgusting parts that come out of it.
*cough cough* youtube shorts *cough cough*
@@Imaperson1020 I'm sorry, did you say something?
yep, sometimes its better to throw your phone in the wall and go outside, or get a book to read...
its sad not even being able to have a normal conversation with someone because they're addicted to social media. When you detatch yourself from these incredibly toxic apps, you're freeing yourself and right now... a conversation with someone my age and younger is unbearable because their attention span is horrible, they have no self awareness, are basically braindead, and im just horrified ill never find anyone i can truly be friends with
this is probably not reassuring and i apologize in advance but, i PROMISE there are people out there who are not braindead terminally online snowflakes. they're somewhat more common than you'd think, myself being one of them. i haven't learned yet how to find "non npc" people but they do exist even if it doesn't seem like it. i can already tell by your comment and channel description that you are 50% more set up for success in the future than most teens these days
So you have no friends then
@@inferno3370 Pretty common when you don't fit into accustomed expectations and norms that social media contrived.
I deleted my instagram, reddit, and discord for this exact reason and the change it had on my life was absolutely amazing.
For being 17, I’ve been complimented multiple times for just paying attention to basic things and being able to hold a conversation. Any time I try to talk to somebody close to my age or younger it feels like talking to a brick wall, either on their phone or absolutely struggling to comprehend basic concepts and hold a conversation.
To watch the new generation grow up with full, unrestricted access to the internet just hurts my heart knowing that a majority of them will miss so many useful life and social skills because of short format videos and overstimulating tv shows.
I’m also 17 and you have basically described my life! It is really disgusting to see whenever my school has performances in our auditorium the amount of people on their phones. The same people I see in classrooms and hallways always being reminded to put them down. I don’t know how the future is going to look at this point…
And the CEO of TikTok is a father. Imagine growing up with a father who poisoned the world.
I mean it’s not his fault. He can’t control the mass amounts of degenerate content being spread to others. It’s the people’s fault
You expect him to quit his job???
@@UnknownG_4star still, it’s technically on him and he continues to let TikTok run. He could just liquidate it.
This is what happens when society reject Christ these things because more and More common
Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
different regions and CEO by region worldwide - China being the big commerce industry worldwide does not have tiktok. guess
Honestly, I just wish TikTok just never existed. Society has become so screwed over since this social media gained popularity, and I feel like every single human being would be better without this thing, or teenage girls feeling the need to participate in every single challenge they find, no matter how dangerous or disturbing it is.
EDIT: Just wanted to clarify a few things. By 'teenage girls,' I meant that it was a majority. That's not to say that others, be it different age or gender, follow this mentality, it's just that teenage girls statistically follow this mindset more than most demographics.
Yeah.
That's basically what happens when you let a different country like China invade American spaces. I miss when everyone was on RUclips.
@@MUZUKUN-YT Real shit RUclips should remove the tiktok like video
It's a part of the chinese plan of world domination, just like american big tech is a part of the american world domination.
if it never exist my aunt would've lost her house thanks to tiktok she was saved from her financial problems thanks to her travel and cooking vlogs
Honestly, as a 15 year old I am terrified to think what the world will be in 10-20 years. It really sucks to see many people my age being so influenced by social media. I was lucky that i was born in Poland because things are not so hardcore here like in America for example, but unfortunately this shit is growing. The only thing I can do is to not give a f.
"not so hardcore"? your country is literally led by religious extremists (much like amerika by the way). lgbt rights in poland are the worst out of ALL European countries, and i imagine it's not much different in terms of discrimination against other minorities, since europe as a whole tends to be awful. much like hungary, people are starting to label the polish government dictatorial due to its extremely reactionary nature. maybe it's because you're a quite young boy that you're unaware of these things, but it's a good idea to start informing yourself on your country's issues. because poland of all countries isn't "less hardcore" than the amerikan empire lmao
@@caramel7050 That's crazy. Its almost as if the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about identity politics like the United States does right?
@@caramel7050 wow malding over a subjective comment and tilting because Poland doesn’t have LGBT rights. A live proof what a social media zombie washout looks like, go to Facebook and fight there keyboard warrior - maybe someday you’ll change someone’s political views (don’t count on it).
Good for you man i scared for my family's mental health
@@caramel7050 Culture shock is a bitch ain't it?
It's a social weapon man. It's doing what it was designed to do. It's designed to destroy.
And people wonder why so many these days adopt apathy as their lifestyle choice. It's very hard to not want to give up after seeing things like this and knowing just how huge the problem really is.
Yeah.. Well said.
There is no greater way to say you don't give a shit about your kids than to allow them to have access to social media, *especially TikTok.*
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Agreed
I disagree. Some social media is a good way to help children find friends if they don't have many in real life. But tiktok is not such media.
@野生狼 If this is what society is evolving into, then count me blessed to have my kids not a part of it.
@@Josh_728 Hey, the world finds a way.
As a 17 year old it sucks that everyone around me is influenced by tiktok, including my own mother and little brother. I feel like it’s just sad that my own mom is addicted to tiktok when parents are supposed to protect their kids from this stuff
☹Stay strong!
You're smarter than your own mother and little brother. Tik Tok is CRAP. Never use it. Study hard, keep learning and educating yourself, enjoy the outdoors, minimize cell phone usage, and think about what career you want to pursue. That's what you should be doing and thinking about. If your mom and brother want to waste their lives on Tik Tok that is their problem, not yours. Focus on yourself. You can give them advice to stay away from Tik Tok, but if they don't listen, again, their problem.
The smarter you are, the more alone you will feel
@@spartan2188 i told them to stop using it and they just dont care, thankfully i moved out and i now happily live with my dad. i am also in college studying software development. using less social media and try to go outside and socialise with people and im much happier this way
@@TheSillySils thats pretty much how i feel
I'm 19.
I never have, and never will download or watch TikTok. I was cheering and hoping that the ban would actually happen in the U.S, and was disappointed when it didn't.
whats is a tick tock
becuse i relly do not even now
i also dont now why this video was here when i opened you tube
@@destroyer-324 Get the fuck out of here if you don't even watch the video.
Same here. I'm 19 too, but was 18 by the time you commented.
I will never touch the wretched pile of filth that is TikTok for any reason. That social media is as addictive as *drug* itself.
Once you get addicted to it, you'll be among the mass of idiots who can't even think for themselves, let alone learn in school or learn some skills.
Even playing good games like Zelda or Luxor (the ball match-3 game, like Zuma) is many orders of magnitude better than spending time on TikTok.
Honestly, I couldn't even imagine what the world would've look like without any social media platforms
I can, i lived thru it. And it was beautiful compared to now. It has really destroyed society quite a bit..
i remember when instagram just launched and people still used facebook hahah. predators existed back then, they just had it a bit harder. nowadays it’s so easy. i keep seeing small children on yt shorts. it’s horrifying.
It was a beautiful place until Tom sold MySpace
everyone'd talk normally.
most them if not all would be bored or even more bored like me! i mainly use it for youtube for music and gaming steamers tbh. even on snapchat.....insta.......and facebook i didnt always do a oot other than watch shorts if chosen, or the dopamine hunger hit n then puke usual about 30 min - 3hrs of watch time.....would like 60-30% if ones i watchedm..depends on what it was about and how good they did on it as in creativity. and would follow even less and very very little to no comments i would leave.
Not just Tik Tok, I feel most of the social media has become toxic with all the unnecessary nudity & depressed teenagers seeking for attention.
"depressed" lmao. Most people fake it so those who actually have it and are diagnosed (me lmao) get ignored when getting their prescriptions. Not to mention I don't sit in my room wallowing in self pity? I actually have a life, gawdamm. I'm pretty happy, I just can't produce a few hormones properly so a lot of my emotions are a little less intense than the average person. Depression is not that deep. Depression with self-destructive psychosis is dangerous yes, but that's not as common
tiktok is substantially worse than instagram because of the brain-detrimental design. you get bombarded with disturbing content at a rate you can't possibly process it, much less a teenage brain. but instagram introduced reels too now, so we can only guess where this is going.
Lmfao first world depression imagine that
And very toxic people are only on tiktok and twitter
@@worldwidefonnayss8080 i am proud of you for standing up for us, I'm not that brave or smart, whenever i try to tell people (with respect) that this can harm those who truly do have it, i get scolded, harassed, threatened and even telling me to off myself, but I won't because I don't want to leave my husband behind, sometimes i feel like I'm a burden, or well, a lot of times, i know I'm pathetic and that I can't take care of myself, but i just want people to be happy
Literally turns ANYTHING into a trend or aesthetic and soon genuine personalities will go out of style it’s crazy 💀
When I'm looking on my classmates, it litterally seems like personalities have already gone out of style
I feel bad for families that use their babies
@@buddharecordz FR tho!, Also for another point, every student who use TikTok extensively are like so,e times toxic like it’s annoying
i think one of the worst "trends" is body shapes
So many people quote tiktoks and incorporate it into their vocabulary on a day to day basis. It's annoying and genuinely scary.
Dude, mad respect for sacrificing your sanity and brand to bring attention to this. As someone who unknowingly stumbled into just a fking login page for what was clearly illegal content, didn't even see anything, and still immediately was sickened to my core...you are a much stronger man than I and I heavily commend you for your sacrifice. Thank you, good luck, and godspeed.
09:58 He censored The whole Tik Tok video and content, I'm very proud And I Will do this on Every reaction video
As a 22 year old, I’m glad that I was born during a time where kids were still spending most of their childhood outside and with their families because social media and the internet in general was not as prevalent! The early 2000s were a time where the internet was mostly used as a tool rather than an escape from reality.
Even though I’m still young, I often feel old when people try to talk to me about TikTok trends that I’m not even aware of since I purposely refuse to use that app for that very reason! Tiktok is literally morphing people into having the same personality and the traits of an npc…the short span content and predatory algorithm is really damaging people’s children mentally.
Even if you’re a person who doesn’t use TikTok, the effects/model of the app are transferring over to other socials medias thanks to its popularity and companies wanting to profit off of the things that are trending regardless if it is healthy or not. It’s inescapable!
You are very wise to know all of that, i spend all my childhood outside, im 18 and i feel like old grandpa, i barely understand all of those gen alpha sh*t and poisoning kids is smart move to create a weak country, all of the kids i see are toxic as hell, ungrateful and lazy.
Being a 16 year old in high school, it's extremely disturbing to me that this is what my peers and even my best friends are exposed to and brainwashed with on a daily basis. Many times, I feel like an outsider because I feel like I am the only one who really sees all this for what it is, while everyone else just walks around and consumes this stuff like it's totally normal and acceptable. This whole situation is just so disturbing, and it has me very scared for the future of humanity, from a religious, a scientific, and a cultural standpoint.
Stay strong, it'll serve your mental well being greatly in the long run. I stopped using social media in my early 20's. I'm in my early 30's now, and my peers are coming to the same conclusion. With how much information is out there about the negative effects of social media, I genuinely hope your generation makes the same decision to discontinue use sooner than mine has.
Humankind has no future……
@@kkang2828
Time to give up, Skynet is here, the Apocalypse is now.
Hang on, those trends will fade one day and you will not have lost anything but instead gained insight and an outsider point of view to understand life better. Life is meant to be experienced in the real world, not in an artificial and superficial world. You seem to have a decent intelligence, this will serve you a thousand times better than being on tiktok :)
@@kkang2828 oh shut your trap
Doom and gloom gets you nowhere
And the more people believe that it will happen
The more likely it will
So quit complaining because these problems eventually will be resolved
Either personally or federally
tiktok should be banned worldwide.
Agreed.
Very strongly agree
🍷🗿
Fr I don't have tiktok and I just installed it 10 seconds later I saw p*rn so I'm just deleting it
Yes it should.
thanks to tiktok, 99% of my school has the exact same personality and tiktok humour.
cancer humour lmao, and no one can watch a video longer then 30 seconds without being bored
I tried making tik toks after I lost my job, just for fun. I wanted to educate people about drug addiction since I struggled with it when I was younger. One day I made a video about getting a job and wondering if I should be completely up front about everything in my past before my training started. Someone commented that they had called the company I worked for and got me fired. I honestly didn't even think someone would do that. Even if it was just a joke, I could never do that to someone. I just can't understand how people on tik tok could be that evil. I deleted the app that day. I still don't know if they actually did this to this day. But it terrified me how people that didn't even know me, could try and get me fired for something 15 years ago. Shook me.
For all the people/teens who have used their self control to avoid Tiktok, you are going to be years wiser and mentally ahead of your peers as you grow older. You will have already reaped the benefits of not using TikTok, while the unfortunate people around you will have severely destroyed their brains and thinking capacity from such a young age.
Its not too late to stop now.
Thank you
well, thats kind of a scary and isolating thought. or it would be, if i didnt have close friends who also do not use tiktok
As a guy who dispised tikt☠k, this literally going to destroy the Philippines because people here think its part of their lifestyle. People told me i sound like a boomer because i am the only student in the class who does not use tiktok.
Lastly, its impossible to have friends nowadays because everyone has tiktok revolves around their life and cant have sane minded people like me. They even told me no tiktok = no friends. What a fucking shame to this world
@@FilipinoFurry seriously what is wrong with people? I don’t use TikTok, and I never will. Parents say technology rots your brain, but TikTok takes that to a whole new level.
I mostly watch religious stuff on TikTok lol
As a 16 year old girl, it saddens me that so many girls around my age feel the need to behave in such ways. Teenage boys aren’t any better, they continuously make inappropriate comments about a teenage girl’s body discussing what colour they think her private area is. Vape usage has also become incredibly common in my generation but nobody seems to care about how it’ll affect them in a decade's time. It seems as if nobody, at least in my generation, has any common sense, no self-respect, or lacks the ability to think for themselves. I refused to join tiktok within the 3 years after its release however I finally decided to download it to understand what my classmates were talking about. Now I’m highly considering uninstalling it. It’s a shame that humanity has come to this and unfortunately it’s not going to get any better.
Behave in ehat way?
You’re not 16, you’re probably some 28 year old trolling 😂 or you’re just some incel redditor. Just say u don’t like Tik tok. Why lie about being a teenager and whining about tik tok? Like it’s not going away.
@@Lucas-zu3fn why are you being like this? 😓
@@Lucas-zu3fn I'm indeed 16. No I'm not "complaining about tiktok", I enjoy it at times. I'm spreading insight on how others my age are being ruined by tiktok, not all, but most. When you say tiktok is not going anywhere, you're correct. By making comments like mine, and creating videos such as these, then hopefully we can get users to realise what the problem is and bring awareness to it. If you'd like to call me an incel redditor then by all means do so, but I think if I were one then I'd be having this conversation over there instead of here.
People vape in the 6th form toilet at my school and the school can't really do anything about it. I have asthma and I would never vape but I'm not sure how it affects me or them.
As a teacher I can already see the effects of TikTok on my students (13-16). They're much like drug addicts, unable to focus on anything without thinking about their phones and just waiting for the moment they can continue scrolling TikTok.
Sucks that all of my classmates and peers uses "Tic Tok." Like it's so creepy and brainwashing to say the least. And most of the kids in my school all act the same: That crappy hair style, the rude attitude, the annoying/cringy slang, and a whole lot of drug and sex doings. It's so terrifying to see the uprise of Tic Tok and I'm worried of what's going to happened in the future.
It's not just sexual exploitation TikTok is enabling, but it's also enabling and encouraging children and young people to self harm. That's an entire rabbit hole that needs to be exposed.
It can't be exposed, sadly; RUclips and Twitter and Twitch and OBVIOUSLY Tiktok will never allow such conversation topics. If Just Can't Swim was tossed off the platform for daring to make honest, in depth documentaries on major criminals and mass assault crimes...who wouldn't be for revealing such things?
yeah i was surprised he didn't bring that up
@@jakzine540 well they may be able to control what conversations are being brought up on THEIR platforms, but nothing is stopping the people, parents, school administration from going and bringing this discussion to their local lawmakers.
@@Astrothunder_ That much I agree with; in truth, the power the Tech Giants actually have is surprisingly fragile, and any sort of power they possess is solely done in the absence of government/lawmaker regulation.
Its also rewarding them for their behavior which drives them to repeat the behavior. Others may see it and want in on it. Its disturbing that this just happens so outwardly and no one can or does anything about it.
During the school shooter trend on tiktok, I was labeled as a school shooter by classmates; I was more quiet and I was in one of the worst states of mind at the time due to family issues. Fuck tiktok for making people think I was gonna harm others.
That honestly sucks, I am so sorry you went through that, I hope things have improved for you since that awful trend.
Damn I feel so bad for you hope you get bullied less because whole class bullies me every day for about year bc I don’t watch tiktok don’t vape etc and don’t like talking too much
Yeah, sometimes I speak so little that people think that I'm mute, but at least I wasn't labelled as a school shooter, I feel bad for you, and bullsh¡t like that and what's described in the video is why I avoid TikTok, I may be dead inside, but at least I have more personality than a TikTok user, because genuine personalities are going out of style, one day people with certain personalities are going to be labeled as "stuck in -[insert year]"-
Like, TikTok can be classified as a digital pandemic, holy fμ¢k this generation is slowly dying mentally
That’s messed up. I’m sorry you went through that.
During the Tiktok hearing in congress, a lot of chinese immigrants around the world was cheering for how much the senators made TikTok look like a fool while American teens made fun of their senators for trying to protect them, so I'd say that this weapon is working.
they made fun of the senators because they were clueless and had no technical knowledge. They just showed themselves to be ignorant.
I’m truly disgusted that as soon you create a new account you can be bombarded with nudity and drug use on your feed🤢
who told you that
I’ve never gotten TikTok, and I never will, but the kids I work with who are on TikTok are clearly affected by it. Their attention spans are hardly there, they don’t seem to really care unless the information is rapid fire, and are almost chronically incapable of self-control. It’s scary.

Very true . Proud of anyone who can be strong enough to say no
I tries to use tiktok but not very feel comfortable with. Funfact RUclips shorts is like less addictive of tiktok.

I, have 13 years, and, I download this app in 2020, and this ruined my life, so, in this month, I promissed to myself, to uninstall this app, and, after it, my life better so much, I started to learn english (I'm from Brazil), and, I started to read books, and my tip, is, reducing the videos's consum of the tiktok.
Nice job, I’m happy to see that people are realizing how detrimental some of these apps actually are. Your English is pretty good by the way 👍
The ones pretending to have mental illnesses or pretending they're in a genocide. is horrible
the level of sexualization of people is crazy. The fact that its happening to children is the most disgusting part
It's depressing and makes me wish influencers would stop sexualising themselves and set the record straight that they are adults

Limbic resonance. It's what most of our brain's energy fuels
@@Camel_P_oxsame 😢
I guess parents can't teach their children right from wrong and the apps are to blame.
I have never used TikTok and never will. This video has reinforced that. The way it rewards the sexualisation of underage girls is disgusting.
Fb and Instagram has this stuff too. But not to this degree.
I hear that. RUclips is really the only "social" media I regularly consume.
👌
I don't use Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat etc. In a very limited degree I used Facebook for only school isuess because everyone are using it. My most used social media platforms are RUclips and Whatsapp.
@@evlfck I don't think that's the issue "buddy".
The fact that these kids were suspended almost immediately shows that moderators actively watch these streams
Yea ofc they are active that’s not the problem the problem is they don’t gaf about people’s safety and TikTok has our location everytime we use it I don’t think people would want the Chinese government to know their location stay off TikTok unless you want something to happen it should have been banned already
And a disgusting fact is the ones who moderate and watch the streams believe it or not are simps for little kids I’m talking about the people who run TikTok they are soo disgusting it’s no wonder they don’t hardly do anything to make it a safe app
Just wanted to share this, but I'm a high school student who watched TikTok so much during the day, and my phone broke 3 weeks ago, I wanted to wait till after Christmas to get money to pay to fix it, and I went around 2 weeks without my phone. It was the most refreshing and happy two weeks since I was 5. It was so freeing to not have my phone and be on TikTok 24/7. I picked up old hobbies and enjoyed the scenery a lot more. Of course I got bored a lot, but it strived for me to get back into reading and writing and since my phone has been fixed I avoid TikTok with my whole heart because I don't want to get sucked back into the feeling I had when scrolling mindlessly on it. Iv also gotten so much schoolwork done now that I don't use my phone as much. the most I use it is to play music, have RUclips videos on in the background while I work or to take pictures. I definitely do not like TikTok. it felt like an endless addiction I could not get away from, and having my phone break was the best wakeup call ever.
Smart move!!
Hot take: the root cause of the problem is that parents don't wanna deal with their kids, it's easier to just put them in front of a screen. Even if you remove TikTok, some other platform will take it's place.
Its odd that there are groups that call for exposing kids to violence in order to harden them, but in the same vein view this as abominable though it serves the same goal of depussifying children.
This isn't a hot take, this is a fact
@@boslyporshy6553 depussifying LMFAO
New word unlocked!
Where's the lie
No, no. You got a point.
My mom who's a primary school teacher has been complaining more and more these last few years about children having weird ticks and being unable to stay still or focus. We are clearly witnessing the destruction of almost an entire generation as you said and the future is looking terribly bleak tbh
My lil brother has ticks I got adhd I found out when I was 9 but I don’t think it’s tik tok tho prob just a 🧬 thing but I do agree with wit dude said about tik tok I was thinking this last night it is toxic
gotta fight for it.

As a teacher I see this all the time. And kids will be doing tiktok dances sitting in their chair staring into nothing

who care about concentration and school...
the only thing i did in school was loosing my time (except when i was with my friend !)
As a social media moderator, I agree with everything in this video. Also, as a moderator, I've come to view society as being utter trash and unworthy of surviving on this planet. I've stopped socializing myself and no, I don't use social media (other than YT) at all and I've completely distanced myself from society as a whole. The job itself has an extremely high turnover rate and most people are only "here" for a year at most before they quit - I've been doing this for 3 years now (wish our wage matched inflation, but nope). FYI, the training for the job and the videos we watch during training are, in fact, videos and topics that we see on a daily basis. This video only touched on the adult and minor content (which we see plenty of), but we also train on videos involving anorexia, suicides, murder, torture, etc...
It is my opinion that all social media apps should require monthly age verification (via credit card and using pending transaction amounts which are then cancelled after verification) and that the algorithms controlling the content be selectable, filterable and modifiable by the user - not the company behind it. But none of that will happen since companies require a substantial user base and user growth numbers for advertising partners to advertise on their platform (the content creators only get a small fraction of it) and in order to have continue financial growth, those companies have lobbyists bribing both sides of the aisle.
Yoo bud.. I understand, in my own way, this distaste for society you have. I know the feeling. I've wanted to just build a shelter in Scandinavia and to hell with mankind. But please don't isolate yourself. Offline there's good people, real, kind people, as helpless in the face of this shit as you feel.
Not trying to be pedantic or patronizing or whatever. Just read your comment and it kinda hit me..
I was very much a tiktok addict and i would sometimes be sitting in a wrong position for hours not realizing how im sitting or where I even am
I hate TikTok with an absolute PASSION, and I really hate that RUclips now feels they have to go down this 'shorts' route as well. Hate, hate, hate it.
me too
Just quit social media as a whole. If you hate TikTok with absolute passion then you shouldn't be near any social media app ever.
@@SN57ONEtrue, but RUclips I feel like is more of a platform for entertainment than social media. Since most people watch and not make their own content, it's kinda like watching TV, but free and more accessible.

life of a child in this current generation is pretty wacked eh?
start off at a young age dropping into a rabbit hole of watching Elsagate via youtube kids app, then when they grow up to young teenagers, drop again into another rabbit hole of Tik Tok.
in fact, Tik Tok sounds pretty much basically the RUclips Kids app, but its not kids content anymore.....
Honestly, even though you would still come across some pretty messed up stuff, the sites I went to as a kid/teen (4chan, SA, random gaming forums, RUclips ... etc circa 2007 - 2012 ) were so much less manipulative than the shit we have today.
Would I allow a kid access to the net of 10 years ago? Maybe, but now things have changed.
It's an algorithmic minefield out there now, not even the major imageboards are immune to it anymore :(
Edit: I guess there is also the degree of separation as well. When I wanted to really use the internet, I needed to sit at my PC in my room. Now I have it in my pocket.

But as you can see yt and instagram you can report or dont want to see a certain video unlike tiktok
Im so glad i deleted TikTok a few months ago. It really is mentally draining and theres so much better to do than doom scroll for 3 hours straight.
Not to mention how tiktok basically made everyone at my school morph into some flesh-bound leviathan with one personality trait (being as annoying as possible) just because they see tiktokers do it without consequence.
I can barely have a normal conversation without hearing someone say "gyatt", "rizz", or "fandum tax". Its actual fucking hell.

Same here, fellow mid-gen Z (I'm 19 at the time of writing, currently attending university).
To me, TikTok is a brazen and blatant insult both to my own life and to human society as a whole.
That social media has dealt damage so great it destroyed an entire generation; and that generation is right in front of us (gen Alpha).

I used to have tiktok and I was A MONSTER. I still hate her and imagine her as a whole different bad person. I was so influenced that it was my WHOLE PERSONALITY and literally gave me reasons to feel opressed, stop believing in my religion and TRY TO KMS.
A stupid app with harmful trends, destruction of concentration and maybe the loss of identity.
I can proudly admit that I’ve never used TikTok and am not planning to. I prefer to waste my time on RUclips all day.

Nice work, friend. Keep making good choices and being a good example.
great job!!
Congrats
That's good keep it up.
@Baxi O shut up and mind your own business.
One thing TikTok taught me is to stay firm in my own opinions no matter how problematic it is or how much it is going to get me canceled. I often found my opinions constantly changed with different tiktoks.
I am of the opinion that society is so broken that we just need to let it fall, so a new society can be built. There are too many problems to fix in absolutely every fabric of society. We were failing before TikTok, but that app is certainly accellerating it. We have reached a point of no return a long time ago.
The worst part is the users don't even realize it. a minimum age of 13 is insane to me
Yeah I remember when I was younger and we had things like neopets, forums, and a few rpgs. 13 seemed like a reasonable age for that but when there is video and payment it seems too young.
@@Iudicatio remember tech and aviation and train forums.
Minimum wage was 14, there.
the worst part is many of them are lying about their age and are even younger!
We all kind of laughed at the "talk to your parents before going online" message that we'd get for things like cereal sweepstakes or Disney Channel games back in the day, but it seems like that message was actually pretty important, namely for things like social media. Most kids sign up without even knowing there's an age requirement, and even I didn't know what the actual rules around all this was when I was a kid.
Yeah, minimum age needs to be updated to be much higher across the board. Voting gets updated to 21 (at least in the USA), Drinking to 25, and minimum age on this stuff (i.e. Twitch, Discord, Reddit, and ESPECIALLY TikTok) to at LEAST 18, if not higher.
That's just my thoughts anyway
My man you're allowed to not be humble about calling yourself a journalist. You've more than earned that title at this point.

Hello Upper Echelon! I think what you discovered is vital knowledge to everyone that desperately needs to hear this! I too, want to protect the identity of someone who I personally know, who lost a relative due to doing one of these insane challenges. I've always hated TikTok from Day 1, based on my own opinion. But now it became personal! And after seeing 2 of your videos. I want to join and be part of a movement to BAN TIKTOK! Thank You!
Thank you, the tok is banned in my home but i cant believe as a 35 year old father, who has a 16 year old daughter could do this using a platform i had bad feelings about just sickens me. Thanks for your research man. God bless your efforts and keep up the good fight!!
TikTok is one of the most effective tech-weapons ever deployed on a society.
Twitch was leading the way on this before TikTok. This is an American cultural issue unfortunately.
Chinese CCP State owned and operated.....I've had a theory for a while that its actually a military weapon in disguise, trying to reprogram our young people to give them a disadvantage.
@@WiseOwl_1408 the guy bellow you is not wrong. Tiktok is ownes by Bytedance I believe. A Chinese tech company. The majority of tiktok content is not even allowed in China. Its only served up to Americans. China knows its a cancer. China knows the tiktok cultural destorys society, and they even instituted school masculinity programs to promote masculinity amongst the nations male youth. Athletics, outdoorsmanship, basic survival training, etc...and its literally state funded. They know the traditional family structure builds nations, and that tiktok culture destroys nations.

The "kink tok" thing is a fucking epidemic. I see tons of teens using the language of sexual fetishes to describe everyday social dynamics and its sickening.
Humans are just monkeys designed to fuck eachother; so is it really all that strange?
Saying stuff like "you're a bottom" and more than that, I can't think of any more examples cause that's all I got
I've heard my 13 year old sister refer to a guy as Daddy before and it felt beyond gross, I snapped at her for saying that told her that she has no business having that come out of her mouth. I told her that she had better not let our dad hear it, because if she thought I was unreasonably mean and rude by correcting her, then our dad would be 100% meaner about it.
When I was 13-18, I think I only ever heard like 2 girls in my school ever say that term. And they were the usual easy ones that always dressed proactively. And as for the Kink stuff, Many of us knew about that stuff, but it was deemed socially unacceptable to just admit to liking or openly talk about it. The ones who did were usually the goth/outcast kids. I know this because I knew a few and they were the only ones who'd openly talk about fetish stuff. The few average kids I heard talk about it, only would joke and keep it a secret with their close friends because they didnt want to be seen as a freak. But now, People just lay it all out and kids are being introduced to it as if its completely normal to do so.
Jesus, I had no idea about that shit. Never used, and I sure as shit won't now.
Gross
Before TikTok poisons society, society poisons it first
I haven’t been on tiktok for close to a year and was proud, but these RUclips is starting to have that same effect. I’ve spent countless hours on RUclips shorts thinking it was better than Tiktok, but it’s just the same mindless algorithm designed to suck you in and drain you. I’m trying to get out of that, especially for the upcoming school year. This mind numbing behavior is extremely damaging for academics and exhausts you, so I’m gonna try not going on RUclips shorts to regain a better attention span. Thank you for this video and helping me and so many people, not just teens, realize how they can take control of their life even when these mind numbing algorithms are trying to do otherwise ❤
I despise Tiktok with every being of my body. I sound like a boomer to people in my class. But this platform is vile. I have ADHD yet people in my class who seemingly don't yet do use tiktok have lower spans than I do. And this... This is just the cherry on top. I always knew the platform was riddled with sickos but I never knew it was to this extent. How has this been allowed by our society??
I'm afraid to talk to people that I know, friends and even my girlfriend, about TikTok and my hatred for it. Immediately any critique is cast away simply by framing it as me being a paranoid, misunderstanding boomer. I get what you mean. I hate TikTok and what it's done to my friends and everyone in my age range. It feels so lonely, not because we're excluded from trends and pop-culture now, but because everyone else is included in some of the most potent, vile brain rot that's ever existed.
TikTok feels dystopian. It feels like the first tool that humanity has ever created that truly feels dystopian. The influence and effect it has is something that's only ever been dreamed of by dystopian writers.
:(
YESSIRRR same shit here bro have adhd yet feel like I can almost focus more than then and that’s not right not to mention TikTok is stupid addictive that’s why I’ll stay away I’ll easily become addicted to it

I despise tiktok. I knew from the moment it was announced as an app it was going to be a problem but no one i knew believed me. And now i see everyone my age becoming the same looking, acting, ext. My teachers hate their jobs because they are glued to their phones and have the attention span of a fish, people my age act and dress the same where i can only assume theyre carbon copys of each other. Im seen as strange because i dont fit the mold that tiktok has molded my peers into believing we should look like and act like.
the saddest part of this is that even if tiktok had never existed, something else would have ruined the generation, with this video i am glad that many people realize the damage tiktok is causing to the world
twitter for sure
I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a tiktok challenge like "eating tide pods with pink sauce while driving over the speed limit" challenge
It’s like they’re programming a generation

“If tiktok never existed, something else would have ruined the generation.”
It has to be twitter. It has to be it.
In my entire class, a class full of 12-13-year-olds like me, I was one of the only kids who didn't use TikTok, and I still don't. The app seemed to have taken a horrible effect on my former friends.
I knew everyone in Primary school, I was friends with most kids. But when they joined me in the same High school, I felt like I didn't know them at all. All they would talk about was TikTok, I don't know what happened over the Holidays, but It caused them to wear makeup 24/7, and swear and talk about disgusting things during class over and OVER again. And not in the way a typical teenagers do, this all came from TikTok. I felt so isolated from them that I considered downloading TikTok just so I could understand what they were talking about, and maybe have friends again. But I am so glad I didn't, because I didn't want to turn into monsters as they did.
Thank god I changed High schools.
Yeah I’m in situation like that but in 8th grade it is horrifying it’s almost like tiktok watchers have become so insensible and unaware of the depth and how gravely dangerous an app on a device is. There has been a pattern I have been seeing, the new kids coming out of elementary schools are getting worse every year. A nasty bunch they are such it’s like being angry and completely disrespectful is the most common language. I don’t feel safe in my school any more it’s hard to not fear the unpredictability of a crazed zombie attention seeking guy that could and would jump me at any time. Thats what a lot of people are in my school. You have given much begged hope that the future is not gonna be this stressful and dangerous and bleak. This is kinda long sorry.
I'm in the same position as you. I dont use it and never really understood the hype around tiktok and everyone in my classes (I'm in 10th grade) uses it
no offense but why is wearing makeup a bad thing ? 💀
I mean, you’ll learn about swearing in one way or another whether you like it or not.
@@harleenq. Its evil
Thank you for making this. I've also had the same experiences you have talked about. My friend sent me this saying "i knew there were pedos on the app but holy fuck tiktok is onlyfans for little girls" and she's right, I've unfortunately seen entire nude videos of underage girls that made my hands shake as I reported them. It is extremely harrowing to be faced with the reality of what is happening. I've had to tell my 13 year old nephew he can't call girls frigid. I've had to tell my 7 year old nephew when others tell him he's fat over video chat he should not "prove he isn't" by taking his shirt off. I've had to tell girls at youth club that the man they're speaking to on wattpad is a pedophile and that man dueting with them is a pedophile, yet when I show them how I know this (very sexual stories with young characters on wattpad and the same on tiktok but of course on tiktok it is more implicit) they don't want to believe me (no doubt because it means they've been taken advantage of and that bruises their ego, and possibly even sounds like I'm shit talking their "FRIEND"). All I can do is report these accounts but it's already had effects... arrghhhgghgh. Again, thank you for bringing awareness to this.
I hate how so many people my age just can’t watch movies or shows because their attention span has gotten to short.
As a 13 year old. It is rather appalling how social media affects us so deeply. I can see my entire school just picking up trends in mere days and changing their entire behavior and become nearly unrecognizable, happened to my school where in about a week or two the entire school started using the word "slay". And all the boys would say it in an overly-feminine voice(not to offend everyone but it was so often and painfully used I hate it now). And it's rather scary seeing how people can reveal alot of personal information online especially tic tok.
I am rather ashamed to say I used to watch tic tok when it just came to my school and wasn't *that* bad until my mother forced me to delete it. Which at the time I was angry at her for making me do it. However I am so thankful that she made me do it or else who knows what kind of person I would have become if she let me continue to use the app.
Nice to hear a teen's viewpoint!
It makes me happy to know that at least some kids see it for what it is. Hopefully your viewpoint grows and takes over as your generation continues to get older. One thing is for sure, you guys are ahead of your time , and people will begin to recognize that once they finally wisen up to the ills of tik tok. Stay strong out there guys

Honestly, that has happened already with a few popular things. People have begun noticing the flaws of the Harry Potter series now, but back in the day one would likely face the online inquisition if they pointed out any flaws.....
Yeah your whole generation is completely disadvantaged. RIP. Social Media is the new drug, the new vice. You're constantly and consistently data mined and tracked so that a.i algorithms can learn how to keep you optimally engaged on the screen long enough for advertisements to attract your attention and get clicks. It's not even about buying whatever is advertised. It's just for the engagement factor. And that is such a profitable business that it should be border line considered human trafficking.
The best use for these technologies is for self knowledge, learning, and growth. In the same way I am using it to spread my knowledge to you. Other that that, it is a completely crap piece of technology that causes way too much pollution on an annual basis. And I'm speaking strictly on production of smart phones, and electronics now.
Good luck, God speed and God bless. I guess while I'm delivering you knowledge I might as well also drop some important pieces of info you'll need later in life. Mainly, the realization of the Self which is realization of God. Don't listen to any evangelicals who speak the wisdom of scripture without knowing what it means. The wisdom and knowledge is encrypted because the Inquisition were persecuting Scientists of the old world. These scientists were priests and alchemists. And they created the concept of the philosopher's stone. It's the same thing as the Tree of Life. It's your Body, your Mind, and your Soul. The essence of your consciousness. And that whole concept of immortality is philosophical. It has nothing to do with physical immortality.
Also, never be afraid to try 5 grams of psilocybin, or to take LSD, or DMT. Experience this rite of passage when you are ready, and search up youtube on many experiences to get a feel for what it's like. If you've considered what I have already shared with you, then you will be all set and prepared for later in life.
One of the chosen ones I see!!
As a 20 year old, I genuinely hate my own generation and how they have been brain-rot from this DISEASE of an app. My younger sister is obsessed with it, it's all her life, it's all she knows and cares about. Doing stupid dances and dumb challenges, and listening to other idiots on the site while still being a young impressionable teenager. I see this mainly happening to the kids and teens and it is making them dumber than they already were.
It has happemed to my sister too. She has changed so much in a bad way because of this shitty app. I deleted ot from my phone after this video.
I went on a trip to Europe with a friend (we're both 22) and I can safely say he's a TikTok addict. During our time in Paris we had a day reserved to visit the Louvre but he didn't even come, he stayed at the hotel watching TikTok. He wasn't feeling super well with me because he knew my opinion about it, but yeah I went to the Louvre alone that day. A very weird generation indeed. I feel sad for those who are addicted.

I cant deal with this since a long time tho... I HATED it so much! Tiktok tries to train older women to hate men!

We're going to hell at a Lightspeed.
Why doesn't the FBI shut the platform down or make overall arrests at the company level?👮🤬😡
My little steap sister has gotten cought up in the fake mental disorder trend on TikTok for a while now. She had shown an unusual interest in my mental disorder an under the guise of "wanting to understand me better" turned into just wanting to learn how to copy it as realistic as possible. So good that she's got her boyfriend and his family completely convinced she's got these disorders and convinced that we were "emotionally abusive to her". Wich was just us asking that she cleaned the dishes she uses... that's it. An now with some girl online she has fallen into the fake DID fad as well! It's beyond rediclous! She basically uses it to get attention and as an exscuse as why she can't get a job like everyone else. And now to get pity money from folks online and to get food stamps an social security benefits. All just so she can sit on the internet an play WoW all day long. It's a sad existence.
TikTok had me genuinely convinced that I was suffering from like 3 disorders, and I'm literally college-aged (which is sad, I know). It is so concerning how this is affecting younger people...
It's sad how tiktok teaches people to genuinely believe they have these disorders and makes kids' attention spans so bad that they call doing dishes "abuse". The world is being ruined by this app.
bro here in New Zealand that shits horrible a good 3 or 4 of my coworkers do the same stuff and have been called out for making things up. For example, very recently one was saying a male coworker was harassing someone at a party... That someone said they never talked to him.
@macmic6719 nzer here yah I know alot of people who don't go on it , I've deleted it again, came across this video
Didn't even know about that... I am glad to an extent
I remember watching my nine year old cousin scrolling endlessly through tiktok. It was heartbreaking, and all I could do was watch with her to make sure she wasn't consuming anything harmful. She'd just scroll through tiktok endlessly instead of finding something else to do together, and while I was glad that she only watched funny things, I was still upset about it. We rarely see eachother, she lives in another country and my family's struggling with money issues, making it hard to visit. About three quarters of our time together was watching tiktok.
we rlly dont need ur life story bro and W cousin
@@rblx8k Ru paid by DicCok?
@@rblx8k L bozo
This is the exact same thing that happened with me when my cousin came to visit he just endlessly scrolled while i was asking him to do something else besides scroll
@@rblx8k w tbh
I always see people just scrolling and it just looks unnatural just how emotionless and bored they look staring at a phone in any public space
I banned my 10 year old from using Tiktok purely for its contents. It is sad seeing all these people doing silly and dangerous stunts just for that 10 seconds worth of fame. However you see Tiktok advert popping up on RUclips every minute.
worst part is every other social media is trying to turn into tiktok
Exactly , RUclips shorts for example.
soon it'll be google reels
right! instagram shorts, youtube reels
I dont like youtube shorts but we get force to use it even we dont like it
I love being proven right about tik tok, I've been vocally against the platform since inception. It's always been cancer.
yep, it's a weapon by china.
the US has done the same by airing rebel radio in various countries ready for political change, and I know full well china is doing this to the west. and we have so many politicians in bed with China that they won't stop it.
I tell it to my coworker. And he just laughs "oh yea it's just stupid videos"... says the guy with a short attention span...
I mean this video doesn't even surprise me given the type of "teachers" that are on that platform just typical groomers
What did you expect from something made from China? Tiktok was designed to destabilize the west.
@@ramonandrajo6348 Twitter is toxic bad, this is just bad in every aspect
Actually good reporting. THIS should be the news articles. TikTok should have been taken down AGES ago
I hate all social media platforms only got RUclips for watch old videos an movies from the 80s an 90s early 2000s
My sociology teacher like 2 weeks ago gave a dead stare when we (17 year olds now) were talking about TikTok challenges, she's one of the more chill ones and told "I am genuinely concerned for the future of this society"
And yeah, uhm she was not wrong even a bit
Checkmate in the west.
@@praiseallah5591 y'all hate the west, like tik tok isn't used worl wife.
Hate is poisoning your life
@@R-rr1 The west (Led by great satan USA) has destroyed many nations for nothing but money (Germany 2x, Libya, Souriya, Yemen, Palestine, Ottomans, Hedjaz, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Guinea, Mali, Egypt (UAR), Indonesia...And much more...
@@praiseallah5591 Just don't come with your propaganda here thinking I'll buy.
I have read the Quran, this book is all about killing and cursing Kaffirs, such a violent book.
It made me sick.
There's a verse on iddah time in surah al baqqarah teaching what to do when you're divorcing a prepubescent girl.
Same book that says the sun sets in a muddy spring and sperm comes from the back bone.
Islam is a supremacist ideology ( wanting to dominate the world).
And you do is talking shit about Kaffirs.
Hamas is killing is own people.
Saudi Arabia is bombing yemen.
Yet,it's never your fault.
Name one thing Islamist terrorists groups do that Mohammed didn't do( killing, take captives as sex slaves , hating on jews and other communities...)
I'm no longer buying your sh!t !
Crazy how this video will never fall onto the ears of people who actually need it.
It is an uphill battle, but maybe try your best to tell people. This could be a defining issue of our generation. Sometimes being good is lonely, but it’s better than the alternative.
This video is like deodorant, the people who need it the most don't use it.
Facts
@@JinroTheCorpse You said that perfectly
this isn't entirely true, it's because of these kinds of videos criticising tiktok and its users that i ended up deleting the app
Tiktok, Yt shorts, Instagram reels, RUclips, Vines, stupid social media challenges is nothing new
Social media needs to be stopped!
Yeah, it will get ended up in the solar storm on purpose!
I remember when the worst thing you were exposed to was finding a dirty magazine. Now the entire world of debauchery is available to kids. I don't agree with censorship, but it can't be good for young developing minds to be exposed to everything without context. And having them perform for nasty old men is just beyond disgusting.
@Baxi What's going to be censored form deleting tik tok then. There's not going to be much change in having a voice on the internet because tik tok is not the only way. Nothing good on tik tok is going to happen.
@Baxi No where is it implied about "government intervention".
@Baxi Thanks for over exaggerating the comment similarly to how everyone like you thinks about "you lick the boots of government"
@Baxi censorship and government intervention are 2 different things
@anon agreed
This truly worries me. I myself noticed how badly tiktok was affecting me mentally, draining my willingness to work creatively and destroying my ability to pay attention to anything not instantly stimulating and rewarding
Is watching bullshit vids on TikTok even Rewarding?
Rethink your comment you doofus
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 I think what they mean is that it's rewarding by you getting a small dopamine hit everytime you see something new you like. That's how you keep scrolling and scrolling for hours. Your brain does reward you with happy feelings. It's a false sense of happiness and it is damaging like the OP said. I had TikTok during covid shut down as did everyone I think and i would spend literal hours scrolling, my attention span was shot. I deleted it a few months after downloading and will never download it again. I also deleted fb and Instagram as they are turning into the same platforms.
i couldn't even watch RUclips videos anymore, if it was longer than 15 seconds it didn't give me the boost i needed when i wanted it and it couldn't hold my attention
@@5bc500 Holy mother of god how old are you if you don't mind me asking
@@5bc500 ok now stop 🛑 everything.

This is the one time I want America to make an exception and ban this shit.
you sound like a boomer who hates everything, chill out bruh everything is fine
this reminds me of hello neighbor
As a mom to a baby girl, this scares the shit out of me.
Bro by the time ur kid wants to have tiktok it'll be gone, a fad of the past.
