[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Gen Z! No more of them are ruined or sidetracked by victimhood than those in other generations are felled by stupid things. A certain portion of people are going to get stuck on something, no matter what. That’s life.

The first 45 seconds and sometimes several minutes of many videos are useless. You can see YouTube trying to fix its old content with “suggested clips” but tik tok is better for learning most things. In general the pressure to be fast makes people make better videos.

They’re having a gender revolution I don’t understand and I think it’s great. Of course it’s imperfect. Of course they’ll get big parts wrong. Godspeed, babies. Pull us to the future. [/quote]

Um - if you think TikTok is anything but toxic, you are hopelessly naive and I am afraid this discussion has gone far over your head.[/quote]

TikTok is toxic if you’re posting videos of yourself or your kids. If you’re showing how to replace an outlet or propagate a plant, it’s great! It’s not videos fault that people are narcissists. [/quote]

DP. It’s not necessarily the content that’s the biggest issue, though. It’s the format that’s purposefully designed to keep you glued to your phone for more and more and more. Do you really not see how this could be an issue for young, developing minds? Who definitely aren’t looking for how to replace an outlet?[/quote]

The format AND the content are terrible. Like anything a little sus and it sends you down the rabbit hole.
