View submission: Anyone else not ever use TikTok whatsoever?

I was that way too, until a few months ago; I downloaded it for the first time. It's a pretty cool interface, and I enjoyed that the algorithm catered to what you most recently watched, unlike other apps. I'd go weeks without even opening the app, though. I did enjoy that people were willing to openly share their opinions about what's going on in the world, and it didn't seem as edited, regulated, or monitored as other apps.

What I like about it is the comment sections. Unless you make the mistake of ending up in certain kinds of places with political differences, I find people warm and genuine.

The algorithm lets me stick with my own crowd though. Just like here, I'm mostly on Ask Old People, Gen Jones and Gen X, Tic Tok tends to feed me the same crowd.
