Stopping you scrolling is surely intentional! It's to get you used to unskippable videos so that people don't hate it so much when they do ads like that
I personally think using TikTok as a search engine is really concerning. Not only does it not teach kids how to properly research factual information but in terms of like restaurants and stuff it will only give you what’s popular or what’s trending recently? Instead of what actually is near you. Which I also feel is bad. Also I don’t know if the comment section has changed or anything since I stopped using the app but me personally I feel that TikTok has the worst most toxic comment sections and the only comment sections even slightly compared is instagram reels.
I can buy that a lot of tiktok comment sections are at least neutral - but look at the comments of autistic or disabled creators - especially women - and it quickly becomes a different picture. (I mean, tiktok inventing new ways to say the r slur that won't be caught by moderation is evidence enough in itself.)
@@spicyunihornand children. There are lots of “mommy” channels that exploit their little kids with really intimate and sexualized videos. The videos have thousands of saves. It’s horrible
The same thing happened to my sister who had her baby a month ago... She kept coming across birth horror stories and it made her super anxious! But the labor went so well, the baby is healthy, and they're happy
ive been on tik tok since the whole '' ' '' gamers vs furries '' ' ' thing (2017/18 ish) and it feels a whole WORLD different. i remember when there was no personalised fyp and EVERYONE just seen the same videos.
UA-cam unskippable ads are annoying fs but 90% of tik toks are some sort of ad that’s meant to be instantly scrolled past but they still get the TT ad revenue
The rose coloured glasses toward tik tok is so weird to watch I couldn't recommend enough people taking a month (or forever) off social media and see how quickly your view on everything changes. Tik tok is 100% the most bizarre dystopian platform to date
If tik tok is banned in the US your job will become more important than ever before! Just post your FYP on its entirety like people do with old MTV broadcasts. I’m also very pleased with the amount of love for Oreo the dachshund!
You might have missed where he said the Covid era, meaning peak of Covid. In 2021 when content creators and celeb level status ppl all over social media would lament and say ‘when I look back 5years ago it was so alive and happy’ or ‘it was so much better in 2016, that was the end of an era, the best year ever online” when it was actually a really argumentative year more akin to a year being more like a nonstop social dumpster fire. @arcade3198
The first time I open tiktok I saw a person bawling while holding their dead cat's body to the camera. Never fking again lol, I'll rather just watch tiktok content on ig 5 months later
"They dont want AI generated slop, they want human generated slop" I COULD NOT AGREE MORE
Solidarity with the Noodle Mine workers 😔
Shout out to Sheffields super noodle miners of 98, many great noodle lives were lost that day 😢🥡🥢
Saying Tiktok isn't enshittifying is wild. It definitely is

I agree
Vested interests it seems
@@_sophiesits definitely just a glitch people found and exploited lol

Facebook comment section is a lot worse actually, it's crazy
I remember wearing almost the exact same shirt back in 1993.
That’s so harsh! 😮
But, to be fair, I think I saw SRK wear that shirt in a 90’s Bollywood movie …

This is why I will never download tiktok. That, and the exploitation of underage girls; as they've found ways to bypass moderation for that too.

@@PeachysMom Yuck. I haven't seen them but it's sad that I'm not surprised. Absolutely disgusting how much greed can cloud morals
Saying things used to be better used to be a lot better than it is now.
This gives stewart lee vibes
Really liking the shirt, it's giving lowkey circus vibes (positive)
“Human generated slop” 😂 I might get a tattoo of that
I had to delete tiktok because as soon as I became pregnant, it was showing me babies who had stopped breathing and loss videos!
The same thing happened to my sister who had her baby a month ago... She kept coming across birth horror stories and it made her super anxious! But the labor went so well, the baby is healthy, and they're happy
that's crazy

My petpeeve feature is autoscroll, when you get to an ad, it just repeats the ad and doesn't scroll on, then just requests you to click on the ad.
I'm guilty of being the millennial watching IG reels.
my tiktok is full of North Korean propaganda which is fascinating
Stop liking so many Kim Jong Un thirst edits
that is biZZARE

Just signed up to UA-cam premium, it's a breath of fresh air.
Pretty sure they legally have to put AD on it.
he was joking
enshittification
or as others may know it as, Marxist critique of capitalism
Wow so nice of Benedict to fly back from Japan just for this. Just for us.
Your description of the comments quality had me finish setting up my account. An hour in, i'm pretty happy :)

I hate tiktok shop but they did sell me on the giant turtle shell, look I’m not superwoman
I miss the days of UA-camr News
So funny that I came here from TikTok only to be sold on TikTok being a better platform than UA-cam
Gross enshitment or whatever it's called - great theory, horrible name
Here's a quick way to freak everyone out: 2016 was 8 years ago.
YES!! I’ve been wondering why I don’t go on TikTok anymore 🤔
i’ve had tiktok since 1982 and i think it’s only uphill from here ! 🙏
NEW SCROLL DEEP VIDEO WHOOOOOO
bro rly said 2016 was five years ago
The soul knows what the mind does not

ALL social media, streaming and gaming companies have become “enshitified”. Entertainment in general actually.
I am so convinced that Benedict is secretly Oreo boyboy's father
Dude your Dutch accent was inspiring
reels has the WORST comment section out of the three main shortform video platforms, people are evil on there
Missed opportunity to drop midroll ads right as youre talking about how many ads are on yt.
I've deleted tiktok now, it doesn't benefit my health
lol thought of the lotr reference and then one of the crew said it!!!!! yes!!!
The dutch accent broke me 😂😂
TG TikTok Shop isn't "allowed" here in the EU
10:26 i think its bc all the properly horrific people are on Instagram reels
Loved the northern accent 😀

You said they're not doing the bad thing then described them having done the bad thing
8:30 OREO!!!! I love Oreo so gd much

Facebook is still my main social media 🤧
I don’t appreciate edge Oreo slander
It seems like a lot of commercials so I don’t like it
Wow I've never been this early 💛💛💛
OREO SPOTTED
I unironically love 2020 and 2020 tiktok. I knew I loved it when I was in it and I still love it now.
