To write off:
This video was made as a more personal project of mine. Being born in 2007, it seems that my life, no matter how hard I try, can’t escape the wrath of short form content that has emerged in the 2020’s. I only think content will get worse as time goes on though. By the time I was 10 I already had to deal with the trash that was Elsagate, fidget spinner challenges, and a wave of more kid friendly stimulating content. And now I have to try my best to avoid the flood of UA-cam Shorts and Tik Tok content. I made this video more as a coping mechanism than anything else. So I hope people around my age can connect to the struggle that is dealing with this new wave of, to be quite honest with you, harmful saturated eye candy. Thanks for listening if you’ve read and watched all the way through this, and goodbye. - Розваги

🗿👍
Tbh that one line ''Either you have tiktok, or you don't fit in'' sums up 99% of the people at my drama school.
About 2-3 years ago, i was part of this friend group, we just chatted and did dumb stuff, then tiktok started getting popular among my friends, and suddenly i'm always sitting alone at break because i don't use tiktok.
And you know what their replies are if i ask them why their constantly just watching tiktok? ''Oh your just jealous haha''
like, dude, jealous of what? your literal 1 second attention span? 💀
Same here
I notice many were not even bother paying attention in class and are glued to their phones
Same lol. I got into high school right after Covid. Right after TikTok’s peak. I honestly find it hard to socialise as a lot of my interests are overshadowed by the new TikTok trend or something. It’s honestly just kind of sad.
I would rather just flee and continue my hobby on web dev stuff, instead of mindlessly joining tiktok-centric friend group like what happened today
@@KangJangkrik true
As a person with ADHD, short-form content is the single most damaging thing that exists for me. I already struggle with getting things done thar need to be done, and I have a hard-coded short attention span, so basically all social media today destroys me on a fundamental level.
Its even harder for me to stop with this shit than most I think, as even before all this shit some days I would just be nearly catatonic, and now when that happens it almost always leads to the scrolling, which just compounds the issue.
The internet is humanities greatest invention, but social media is its worst.
same i literally refuse to download tik tok, im not touching that shit with a 10 foot pole. i already waste so much time just on youtube watching long form content! i know that if i ever started using it, tik tok and short form content would ruin my life and i wouldn’t get anything done ever tbh
Same. I don't have Tiktok but sometimes I'll see a mildly interesting looking UA-cam short and then end up having to pry myself away from endless one minute videos I don't even like watching. You should really be able to permanently turn them off.
Same but like sournale’s are actually entertaining like I find those colorful and stupid stuff but I can sit through theories and videos like sournale’s
stick on one of those meme compilations on youtube and its all over smh
@@debleb166 On UA-cam ReVanced you can disable shorts!!
I have never downloaded tiktok and actually make fun of people who try to show me something through it. But honestly I get it because I have to constantly remind myself to stop watching UA-cam shorts. It's too easy to find engaging content when the algorithm is on meth.
correction: the algorithm is meth
Making fun of someone showing u a tik tok is goofy ngl
So you’re a hypocrite
@@bbpd5315 basically yes
I think, while appropriate to call TikTok a pleasure cube, it's probably something way more devastating. You're taken in and out of the metaphorical cube for a bit in a cycle, until at some point when you're let go from it. You then find yourself thinking "Wait, the world is so boring now. I wish I could go back to the cube". Then it becomes an endless cycle, where you spend greater and greater amounts of time in the cube rather than outside of it. It's not just a pleasure cube, it's more like a pleasure "bear trap" wherein users fall victim to it, and the "wounds" never heal because proper time isn't taken to allow them to in the first place.
What's even more terrifying is that it just works. So every social media platforms decide to copy TikTok to become more famous, which could make the effects of short content even worse.

This explains how I feel about yt shorts. I don't have to search for longer videos-- short ones are automatically searched for me! I hate that. I find myself spending hours watching them, doing nothing and forgetting about it after I'm done. I desperately want there to be a switch for shorts so they don't pop up in my recommended
i gotta say that this video is actually extremely informative, at least for youtubers like me
that quote "being famous is all about a character and being unforgettable" was like a fucking revelation
The effects of watching youtube is gaining made in heaven, the more you watch youtube, a 1 hour video feels like 10 minutes

The video is good but the sound effects suckkk like bruh let us listen
Feels kinda preachy tbh. Should've included some tips to break the habit. I think the outbreak in nicotine and weed usage heavily contributes to tiktok addiction. Maybe start by giving up the chemicals that are blending up your brain juices.
@@Monkehrawrrr that's sournale's entire video style my guy
The lack of quotes, references or citations befit video essays? That's some weird shit.
This is why I value art so much. Art can't be rushed, you need to take your time for it and because it takes so long to make something, it feels very satisfying. Unlike short form content which just gets you a dopamine hit after dopamine hit... But now with "AI art" they are even taking that away. People think they are artists because they are able to type in a prompt into a website... I worry for humanity's future tbh haha. Everything needs to be faster and quicker, this can only damage us.

You create the precise content we need nowadays, something that makes the viewer think and reflect on how moderation can save our attitude. Thank you
The difference between television is that atleast with television when ya find one thing ya wanna watch ya can potentially sit there watchin' anywhere from 20 minutes to hours. It's better for your attentionspan than somethin' like TikTok.
And with TV, at least it's something people put in actual time and at least some effort in. With Tiktok, it could just be some trash opinion or video that someone came up with and regurgitated online
@@alfalldoot6715 Exactly. Television isn't nearly as bad as somethin' like UA-cam Shorts or Tiktok.
Your text has an accent 💀
@@SpellboundSpectre 🥶I am spittin' "straight facts without a printer" though!
@@sirvilhelm2360 darn diddly true
I personally will never use TikTok, there's just way too much yucky stuff on there for me (though you could say that for any social media app), but it feels like its increased A LOT when it comes to TikTok. the time people started to pretend to be holocaust victims made me hate the app I'm sure. I'll just stick with UA-cam and Discord for now
I’ve managed to turn my fyp into cars and memes now and I only use it once or twice a month or sometimes I don’t even use it at all. But I generally try to not use it
Same
Also, the TikTok killcount is like 60+ by this point
There's a tiktoker who recently "came out" as his past life being Adolf. He also wears nazi uniforms and symbols.
Yeah I'll probably just stick to youtube
It's not like I can find channels like dankpods, T3rr0r, Sournale, and many other channels on tiktok. Besides hearing about that kind of brainrot makes me cringe just thinking about it.
I've actually presented something like this to my Ela class for a project.
So tiktok was created in September of 2018 or 2017 (idk i forgot when), as well as a popular app called "douyin" who was also created by China. But douyin has facial recognition, and tiktok luckily doesn't.
But the issue with tiktok is not only the pipelines but as well as....the gore content.
Gore is no stranger to tiktok sadly but what makes it worse is that there are videos of Charlie demilio (idfk how to spell her name) dancing and then it cuts to (sadly) ronnie mcnutts last moments....
Anyway, I just wanted to share my opinion about how tiktok is actually the worst for the younger generations
If you read the entire thing, props to you 👏
@@parkermicheal ive seen longer

@@masuooo4452 good for you?...
I appreciate the video made here
The main overall reason why I don't have tiktok is because I want to feel grounded to my life. Seeing my friends ignore me at sleepovers to watch tiktok, my stepmom drive WHILE watching tiktok, and having to hear the repetative sounds over and over from people without headphones, it's all just made me promise myself to never download the app so I don't deal with the potential problems of losing who I am and awareness for life and others.
The part where you recalled the year where you just scrolled on TikTok and nothing more hit me right where it needed to.
For weeks in 2021, I was hooked onto TikTok. I used it constantly, and because of it, detached me from my family for a bit. Scrolling through brainless content, and slowly losing the motivation to do the passions I longed to do.
After I deleted it, things started to get better. Hell, even now, I’ve started to work on passion projects of mine. People may think it’s just an exaggeration when they say TikTok is bad (or UA-cam shorts) but it’s true. I hope people someday who are stuck in the cycle of watching short form content over and over again finally get of it, and do the things they enjoy doing.
Thats why youtube is really only the social media I use. Not only because of attention span but because youtube content is 10 times better then tiktoks.
How did you stopped? I deleted today and i miss it kinda… but i know it’s bad
absolutely same
i was hooked up on tiktok in 2021 too and it took huge chunks out of my day
i didn't even pay attention to my then beloved partner, that's how bad it got
then i just... lost interest for some reason? probably because loads of short content weren't as "filling" as longer stuff, like eating only appetizers instead of the actual dish
then i deleted it and im thankful i did
Personally, i think it's just the innocence of a child dissipating that starts the toxic cycle of tiktok, they see things, they look for things, and they lose the innocence after looking for it
Don't let kids under 12 use internet.
The internet is not your babysitter.
@@rockcaster1091 most parents just give their child a ipad and let it parent them, im one of them, not fun.
titkok has even people in their 60s using it though for up to 10 hours a day. (good idea though)
@seth lee I think kids under 10 are just watching their mind numbing poppy playtime minecraft content most of the time
This still applies even being older
I remember I used to watch UA-cam shorts for hours. When I stand up and walk around. Everything just felt sad and bland around me.
I got up and felt some water from
My sink to feel something for a break.
tiktok is like an endless cycle of engagement keeping you scrolling on and on…. you‘ll never get anything done
Ever since Tiktok came out. I told myself I'd never use it ever and over the years, those at Tiktok only gave me more reasons to stay away and still be the black sheep I am.
Same
Same here
Same. When it first became a thing, I remember that the general internet's reaction was "ew, tiktok!" And then... one day everyone just had it and it wasn't seen as uncool anymore, which was oddly sudden given how long it took for that to happen with Fortnite. What even happened?
There’s some good creators on there it’s just filled with a bunch of bullshit u have to go through until u see the content u want. Pretty much how UA-cam is without signing in.
@@pixerpinecone the hate back then was about the fact that Tiktok was a musically reboot and cuz ppl hated that they hated Tiktok at launch. But after they took over it when every fan of tiktok was only about "Hit or miss, I guess they never miss huh?" They just made it more tolerable. Not better but tolerable for most of them.
7:26 oh my god YES. My entire friendgroup uses tiktok except for me, and it feels like I’m always missing out every time we get into a conversation. If I say that I don’t use tiktok, or don’t prefer it, they just say something like “you probably use UA-cam shorts/instagram reels” and something like that. It really felt that I was missing something when I hear a conversation in my friend group, lol
You’re such a smart kid wtf! I was born in 1999 and you’re absolutely right, people will look at you weird if you say you don’t have tiktok. It kinda makes me sad that people can’t appreciate the arts anymore :/
my brain refuses to scroll through short form content cause most of them feel incomplete, now im in this rabbit hole of scrolling through youtube recommendations, finding the videos and music that ill like, just like how i found your channel right now, idk how im able to consume a 20 min or even a 1 hour video but apparently i can
I’m so glad the UA-cam algorithm has pushed hours long video essays. It’s so much better to be simply engaged in one consistent topic.
My siblings who use tiktok are now scrolling through tiktok when were watching a movie skipping the “boring” parts because of their attention span
I remember spending like most of my day on TikTok scrolling,and I’m glad I got rid of that habit and deleted TikTok
I used to be so addicted to TikTok as a really young teen back in 2019 to 2020 but it was taking way too much storage in my phone so I decided to delete the app and decided I will download it back one day. My screen time decreased and I was watching a lot more longer form informative videos and it was just a much better experience of learning from long well put together videos than just brainlessly scrolling through TikTok content. During my time of using TikTok I did mainly get less meaningless content and actually learnt a lot about cooking and architecture, but it was still so time draining and less informative then if I watched a longer video and I’m so glad I deleted TikTok before the content on it got even worst like how it is now.
as the saying goes, "too much of a good thing can be a bad thing"
edit: shower thought: youtube shorts and tiktoks always get lots of views, because by default it's linear like previously mentioned tv channels you have to go past to find the one you want to watch. Even if you use the search button you won't find it again by default without running into something irrelevant
I completely agree with everything, the side effects fit me when I’m done using the internet, not even just using tik tok.
Legit, Chinese Tik Tok is how Tiktok should be, none of this short for content, but educational videos
5:59 Ahhhh Potato Knishes was my jam back in 2012
I deleted tiktok for these reasons and now UA-cam shoves shorts all over my screen and sometimes I find myself almost lost in them after only being interested in one video.
im only 6 minutes in and ive already had to close my eyes like 15 times so im not plagued by the low attention spam dogshit being posted on tiktok and it being represented in this video
Facts
No me, this video kept my attention all the way through. :)
I love these videos so much. They're so well edited, cover a really interesting topic and it's evident that a lot of love is put into them. Thank you for producing them, keep going!
This reminds me of a book I read. In the story someone hooked a person up to a pleasure machine to kill them. The button to switch off the machine was within reach and could be pressed at any time without obstruction. But because the pleasure machine overrode that person's will to press the button, they ended up dying from dehydration/starvation because they wouldn't press that button.
I hate UA-cam so much for adding shorts, I constantly find myself seeing an interesting short from a UA-camr I already watch, and then I go and scroll though them for like an hour. It's a habit I'm trying to fix currently, I wish there was a way to remove shorts from my recommended without using something like vanced
Honestly this video's giving me motivation to actually better myself cause all I do is watch videos when I'm not at work. Thank you for posting this and helping me have a wake up call.
The issue is TikTok has no filter, there is little to no good moderation, the app is a filth zone for just about any challenges and useless videos to just run free, you are very right on a lot of these. I think that some moderation needs to be used on this app. good video as always though, 10/10. cant wait for more of these videos!
Moderation on tiktok is abhorrent because EVERYTHING gets banned . It sucks.
@@escapefr0mslenderalthough this comment is old this is sadly true , I remember one time I had half of my older videos on Tiktok taken down , and I don’t even know why , it happened out of nowhere
im so glad i was able to get on the more art side with people actually being creative
i really hate the dancing or the videos where they steal other people's videos
I'm a person with ADHD, and right now I'm glad that I'm too young to be able to be using this. Heck, I hope my brain doesn't decide to download this at all.
you know back in 2018/2019*, I saw a video where someone was drawing on a whiteboard, and he was drawing about how tiktok wasteful is, actually I remember being a trend... anyway I feel like there was a warning we all ignored.
I have a friend where TikTok is their lives. I’ve noticed that they have really became more and more depressed, and distant from what’s going on around him, and I also have told him that TikTok could be damaging his mental health. He just doesn’t listen to me, and really is hooked on the app. Very sad to remember what he was only two years ago before he started using the app.
I really do fear that parents won't see what unrestricted internet accsess can do to a child. I despise it so much whenever I see a kid with a phone that's twice as big as it's hand, just goes to show how many people want children but don't want to parent them. Like an unwanted pet.
Unironically I've never used tiktok because the layout gives me anxiety (for reasons unknown to even myself) but I suppose it's just my brain finally working WITH me instead of against me for once lmao
Mine does that too, but differently, i got used to UA-cam's layout, that i don't want to use a different layout because I'm lazy.
finally, I have something to tell my friends when they asked why I don't watch tiktok
you're right. unfortunately, many people scroll through the recommendations just to do it. they don't notice the whole day passing and they don't notice the time being wasted. it's very sad and i'm glad i gave it up. now i only watch tiktok for a few minutes and i feel much better. also i wish all people to find good hobbies and good friends, because it seems to me that this "tiktok sinking" for hours is caused by loneliness or/and a lack of a hobby.
I quit tiktok last year, and all i can remember is 1 single video out of the likely *HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS* i saw. It was about a man digging a bunker for his paranoid veteran friend. I had 7,000 favourites but i rarely even used the favouriting feature. Since i quit i've recovered a lot and i can actually watch videos as long as these without clicking off, and i can play games without having to watch videos now
Honestly, this new schedule you're adapting to is really good. Great in-depth videos that don't span 8 minutes or so. Plus, it gives you more time to work on these videos to entertain us, viewers. Keep up the good work, and of course, take breaks, and don't burn yourself out. I wonder what the next video will be about..
Thank you for bring this to light. I have also found my self what felt like 2 minutes was actually 3 hours just watching youtube shorts. Then also just felt sad, bored, and had nothing to do. I also used tiktok in secret from my parents back in 2020, and when nobody was around, I would just browse for 1 to 5 hours at a time.
This, right here, is the best Tiktok video on UA-cam. It is also probably my second favorite Sournale video, behind the Slendytubbies one.
Imagine kids in future who grew up on tiktok
I remember watching a "characters react to tik tok" type video on UA-cam and felt like my braincells were dying despite the fact that I didn't feel any stupidity. I don't have tik tok btw
This video is pretty good, although I wouldn't say that the app "promotes" ADHD, because that's a condition that you're born with, like autism. You can develop a shorter attention span, which is one of many symptoms of ADHD, but you can't just develop ADHD itself if you didn't have it when you were born. I guess you could also be making the point that the app could have even worse negative effects on people who already have ADHD, though, and with that I agree
i really love these videos (documentary type, not short-form content), i really like to think of you as the "EmpLemon to watch when there are no EmpLemon videos". i could write a whole ton more, but i don't like writing, but still your documentaries and reviews are just something good to watch or listen to while i play a game
EmperorLemon is one of the best documentary content creators on UA-cam. ESPECIALLY his YT Geographic series between 2017/2018 - 2020, My favorite has to be the Leafy video, which was one of the videos that made me love internet history
saw this video the day it was uploaded and it made me delete Tiktok. Now 9 months later, I feel better after deleting tiktok, and I feel more productive. Thanks Sournale :DD
the absolute bullet dodged by not downloading tiktok
Even though I don't use TikTok, I've also fallen into watching UA-cam shorts for long periods of time :(
It always starts with me seeing a slightly interesting thing in my reccomended, like a Daily Dose Of Internet video, and i just subconsciously start scrolling after that
I've been trying to hold myself from doing that but yeah, this shit gets addictive quick
please, do not ever use tiktok or youtube shorts, it sucks the dopamine right out of you
Welp I'll help you first break your phone and then buy another one
I think you meant it spits dopamine right into you?
@@sherwinashford yeah but it sucks the dopamine out of daily life, things are becoming less and less interesting
Sorry for the very late reply, but are you using pc? If you are then there should be an x on the top right of where the shorts tab would be in your recommended. It hides shorts for a month. If you aren't then that really sucks - I've fallen into the trap before too.
I've used both TikTok and UA-cam Shorts, and really what I've found is I prefer long videos for when I'm doing stuff and short videos when I'm waiting (Like at the Doctor's waiting room, etc.)
I whole heartedly appreciate you talking about this subject. I think you have genuine talent in the content-creation (or film as a whole) ways, and absolutely have a step ahead of your fellow classmates or peers when it comes to intellect and attention. It is ruining a lot of folks around us.
Speaking from a guy in his early 20s who didn't grow up with this, but absolutely is feeling the effects of this in both the job force and university, it's just as damaging here as well. University and the early job environments have become such a hostile place due to just how clout-driven and insane people have gotten due to this app (among other things). Everyone wants to be famous quick, and everyone needs that next dopamine hit. I see it everywhere I go, and can only imagine how the people your age will fare off when they get in their early 20s and have to look for jobs. It's a very tough and bleak future to imagine, especially with the rise of AI (with TikToks AI as a contributing factor).
Idk if you'll see this, but I'm glad there are people your age who are this level-headed and critical in thought. Either way, keep it up man!
I liked your to-the-point writing style. After each section, you summarized the points you talked about in that section. Great work and great video!

My dude used to make serious reviews of shovelware on phones and then decided to take that same concept but write a whole damn essay on that same shovelware.
10/10, will watch again, waiting for a song on the plagues of playstore or a short film perhaps.
I also spent about a year in the Tiktok loop, it was awful, I hated it, and when I tried to get out, I fell into depression. I lost so many opportunities, so much time and so much creative potencial. Im glad people are showing the actual concecuenses of this piece of garbage. Great video btw.
"You'll get to a point where everyone LOVES you, but no one likes you..." Rando quote i remembered somewhere, and i think it applies here. On tiktok and on any platforms, you can be LOVED for your content, but not liked for your personality. Its a cycle of getting famous and riding that high then attempting to reach it again. In the end here, life is short but profit is forever. Until it gets banned.
as a "gen zer", im surprised i still dont use tiktok 24/7
Dude please stay on and keep going on this channel, your are one of the new channel that live on and you not alone, I’m 15 years old and I too fear of what the future holds for us with AI art, NFT, and tik tok. Maybe one day, a light with come to us in the darkest times

@@sirgame4595 wtm?
When I try watch anything with my sister, who watches TikTok all the time, she can barely stay on one video for more than five minutes
this is why I just try to avoid it
Like, I'll watch it in the car as a time killer or for like ten minutes after a run or a dog walk because I can't be bothered to get my laptop out
but that's kind of it
Person diagnosed with ADHD here! It would be more accurate to say stuff like "tiktok promotes a shorter attention span" rather than ADHD, because ADHD is not something you can develop later on in life. It is literally a different way someone's brain is wired. Also, a short attention span isn't the *only* thing that people with ADHD experience. Just wanted to put that out there!
I'm a tiktok phobic, I'll never use it
Same
I DONT USE TIKTOK AND IM PROUD! I DONT USE TIKTOK AND IM PROUD!
man these channels that cover topics like this don't get enough attention wonderful work keep it up!
TikTok really does make me get boomers.
Like I don't suddenly think this whole "kids nowadays don't know what a book is" stuff is correct or anything, but looking at TikTok and just how little I understand what people like about it, makes me see how boomers come to these conclusions.
Great video! I like this new concept you're doing, to see the darker side of an application or just to explain what's wrong with it. I recognized myself a lot, with the "When you don't use tik tok, you're weird", it's so much like that. People are becoming sheep, and it's getting worse and worse. It's a thought I had, but people on tik tok doing useless dances for the little attention they can get, are going to become our future engineers.
And the crazy thing is, it's a loop. People went crazy with the arrival of television in the 1920s (I say randomly), and people go crazy with tik tok, every era has its little thing that makes society worse.
I'm not saying that television was and is crap, at least it felt like progress and sometimes you can find something that interests you and stay there for a long time, but with tik tok, and the effect it creates in making people hyper active.. I don't even see where the progress is. And I'll be honest, Shorts or Reels on youtube and instagram keep me busy when I'm bored, so yeah I can't judge everyone either, but I think it's a bit better than tik tok.
Have you ever played Ultrakill (often stylized in all caps as ULTRAKILL)? It's a really fun fast paced shooter, people call it the "poor mans Doom" and true to an extent. It feels like a mix between Devil May Cry and Doom (1993). I really like the healing mechanic that forces you to actually play the game and the style meter that rewards you for playing in a fun way. The developer is also super chill, doing stuff like adding a +MAURICED style bonus after a community meme, adding multiple speedrun techs as features because they are cool and selling real official body pillows of V1, Mirage and Gabriel (all characters from the game).
TL;DR Ultrakill is an accurate parkinsons simulation with angels and robot sex.
🤓
I deleted tik tok back in 2018 and haven't looked back. Sadly, I've seen alot of people close to me completely absorbed by it and it's mindless content
you've given me a needed clarity, great video :)
Man, i thought i spent too much time on youtube shorts when it was just 5 minutes, i didn't know the problem was this big, atleast people are starting to realize the problem and changing.
Sournale is super underrated and hes right
I am so glad i took it apon myself to only touch discord (for talking to friends) and youtube (when it comes to social media) it just makes me feel so much better knowing that i didn't end up like this and how easy it would've been to end up like it.
I grow up by watching UA-cam back in 2016 and it’s still my favorite platform and Tiktok will never be able to be better
The last two videos were forming this channel into something else in my eyes. Something more entertaining and better. Keep up the work and I am exited to see what will this channel become.
I prefer his older ngl
Well this justifys my reason to not use tiktok even more
This was a great video, Sournale, I completely agree with you and i watched till the end. I liked that you used an analogy of pleasure cubes from still an unknown comic to me. It really sets the mood.
that comparison to television was very smart, i never thought about it like that! great video!
the fact that "Pleasure Cube" is probably someone's wacky ahh kink is scaring me by lot,though TikTok in this case seems to be alot more scarier than any goofy ahh artist could think off.
Another Banger Sournale video, with a deep and meaningful message. Thank you, Sournail, for enlightening my midnight
I knew exactly what comic you would reference from the title, I read it years ago and it stayed with me ever since
23:31 I honestly didn't expected to see CS Ghost Animations placed here.
Yeah I didn’t see that coming but NO WAY IT’S SILLY ELIXIR FROM SUDOMEMO!!!!! This is the second time I’ve seen someone from Sudomemo randomly in the comments, the last time was Voxenl.
@@BraydenB.3860 yoooooooooooo. Next person will probably be BraxFlip
22:36 You did a great job with this video and it opened my eyes to some things regarding side affects, it certainly wasn’t useless
THIS GUY GETS IT
Im effectively the only one at my school without TikTok, so im "weird", but also everyone says TikTok is trash and if they uninstall it, its just installed a day later…
I have a bad habit of watching UA-cam shorts for almost 2 hours
Good thing TikTok is banned in my country
Wish it was the same for mine
@@kingoftheclams2887 oof
I switched from the app to the browser version, I didn’t scroll for nearly as long, really only minutes. but I hated the content so much I just never wanted to see it again.
@@annikania2682 good job
To be honest I extremely relate to this video. Hell I had Tik Tok and I was addicted. EXTREMELY. I was so addicted that the only way I got off the platform is Because I got banned for no reason at all. But I'm thank full for the ban to occur. Otherwise I would've stayed on "Tik Tok" TO THIS DAY. And by the way my cousin is heavily addicted to "Tik Tok" and I'm trying to get him off the platform now FOR YEARS. I think that this video might be able to get him off the platform. And if not, well then I'm gonna lose all hope. ANYWAYS , thank you Sournale for making this video. You truly are an amazing UA-camr and it's surprising to me how you didn't get 1 million subscribers yet. I wish you luck and a happy birthday (if it is your birthday while reading this comment.). ❤
I feel like in the past 100 years the general idea of mindless addictive content has always been here, just in different forms. First it was TV, then the internet and now TikTok
BRUHHH This was fantastically made!!! you got me as a lifelong supporter and subscriber now🙏🏽 can’t wait to see what ya do next ❤️🔥
Whenever i open up Tiktok or YT shorts, i just get trapped in an endless loops of scrolling. Sometimes i snap back to reality and go do something else, but sometimes i dont and just continue scrolling.
The music choice is just *amazing*
