View submission: Anyone else not ever use TikTok whatsoever?

View parent comment

TikTok is basically the blog equivalent of "meeting that could have been an email".

Just write a text post and I could read your point in 1/3 the time and easily click on any links.

Text posts are much quicker to write than making a video, so why bother with videos?

God I miss good personal blog posts and text based content. Why does everything have to be a video? Text is so much easier to consume. Video is 90% filler.

Because some people do learn better when seeing it and hearing it.

(I don't use tiktok, and in fact take a great deal of joy and trolling my coworkers and my manager in particular with that. I keep calling it tic tac and they keep taking the bait. My ASM knows I'm messing with him but I don't think he's inclined to say anything to anyone else about it.)
