Only clueless morons still use TikTok.

It does what you want it to do. I find it useful to really understand what people are talking about. Especially young people.

No I don't like it. I hate all the videos with the dumb lip synching, the weird overlay of people talking with the video in the back. It all feels so messy and silly.

For instance, yesterday, I saw that Rent the Runway was having a 90% off sale on Conn Avenue until Feb 8th. I went and cleaned up! I would never have seen it. I've found amazing lip sticks - all kinds of things. I've also found duds but have had no problems sending back. I get lots of ideas.



How was the sale? They had one a few months ago and it sucked.


It was great! Definitely picked up some awesome pieces.

No. I hate watching videos when it’s much faster to just read something.

I am a psychiatrist and realized that this is why so many people are telling me that x, y, and z are part of ADD, autism, depression, etc. Some of it’s true and some of it’s not, and nearly all of it is not how I think about depression or how I was taught or teach my med students. But now I get why everyone is saying the same things.
I don’t know if other people found this in their own professions or if this is unique to mental health.

I have also found a few stand-up comedians that I like and a few different amateur singers and some stuff on home maintenance that seems helpful. And I like to dip my toe into the manosphere every now and again just to see what’s going on.

Overall, I think my algorithm has me pegged as a black, male elementary school teacher.


I’m a dietitian and have found the exact thing with people telling me about their diet, eating and weight management issues. It’s almost as though the verbiage used comes in waves from viral tik tok reels.
