TikTok: is there anything more annoying?

[Blue and true]

I've never bothered much with social media. I'll come on here for City chat and the occasional topical chinwag and Twitter sometimes for news updates tailored to me. But TikTok grips me beyond words. I've recently been working with a young lad who scrolls through it obsessively and has it on high volume, so it's just quick noise change after quick noise change, like someone channel hopping continuously. I've also been on public transport where several people will be scrolling and your ears are assaulted with a mess of indeterminate noise. Is this not inconsiderate behaviour, or is it me?

Needed to get that off my chest! I honestly fucking detest it.

Using your speakers on public transport or similar communal spaces is inconsiderate arsehole behaviour regardless of content.

I'm with you blue and true, my lads can't get enough of it, and there's me, I'm trying to watch the chase or tipping point or something and they're sat staring into their phones with the volume up, meanwhile the missus is down my earhole going on and on and on about something or other and the dog is staring at me, the guinea pigs are fighting and 1 of my kids is defo austistic a bit, he can watch the same tiktok video over and over and he finds the n word hilarious, so he's cracking up, I can't hear Bradley, and I'm checking bluemoon forum on the sly.. wants banning that tiktok shit

As well as the clear anti social behaviour element of these loud, ever changing clips being played in public, why do people have such short attention spans these days?
Can their underdeveloped brains only cope with a few seconds of one thing at a time before they get bored?

I love the random noises guinea pigs make. I'd rather listen to them all day rather than TikTok content!

What gender are they mate? I breed and sell them, so can offer advice if you need it.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Depends. If you train the algorithm to be of benefit, it can be incredibly useful. Mine’s full of weight training form / tip videos and healthy recipes.

Do accept that the majority of use it to burn hours and hours of their day on shit though.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

It's a massive data scraping exercise by the Chinese government. Fuck TikTok.

Absolute shit.

Dont understand it, dont do it, dont ever want or need to, managed all this time without it. Seems to cause too many problems from needy pointless people.

 

[Gaz76]

Thing is it isn't just kids, and they don't half get pissed off when you tell them to turn that shite down

An app created by cunts for self centered cunts selling their poisonous versions of reality to the gullible cunts that can't think for themselves that watch it.


You could say I'm not a fan.

I'd argue the majority of culture wars wouldn't exist if it didn't.

Hate twitter, toxic shithole, love BM obviously and honestly really enjoy TikTok. Some genuinely funny shit on there that has us laughing like fuck.
