Social media is becoming TikTok’s clone army, with algorithms hooked on short-form videos for max engagement.

Text, images, and long-form content are getting crushed, forcing creators into bite-sized video to be favored by almighty algorithm.

It’s like letting a kid pick their meals - nothing but sugar and candy all day.

your probably not wrong

But personally i don't get it. i hate almost all videos. the exception is some thing is best shown as a video, like a how to. but I search those out

Maybe im so broken at this point, who has the patience for videos? Clearly a lot but how lol

So far, I've refused to watch Tiktok.

Something about mindless garbage doesn't appeal to me.
