like i feel like i get sucked into it and time moves at a bizarre and different pace and rhythm and it is entirely engrossing and it can be jarring to come out. and if i use it too much it makes me feel mildly sick--like anxious and drained and icky.

I only have Facebook and this account, no other social media. I do watch TikTok clips on YouTube if they're relevant to my interests, but I don't have the app. Oh, I have an Instagram account so I can view celebrity Instagrams, but I don't use it in a real way. Does that answer your question?

I'd be curious to see the content from within China, where they allegedly hone the algorithm to guide you towards aspirational videos of young people mastering musical instruments, executing tricky culinary techniques, graduating with prestigious degrees, etc., leaving those in the West to lip sync and prank their way unto a sort of cultural apocalypse.

I wish my teenagers had the Chinese version. I didn’t realise that. One of them avoids tiktok but ends up watching really viral content as insta reels I think. They’re both mainly on Snapchat, and the younger one watches a lot of junk content on YouTube like Mr Beast etc.

Remember, kids. Don’t do TikTok. Do drugs.

not really on it personally, but I had a friend of a friend who was pretty successful on it (you can apparently make a living just making fuckin' TikTok vids) and he had a food channel, early 30s or something but died of a heart attack because of the ridiculous shit he was eating on it

so, you know, that's cool!
