Will never have it and my teens do not want it

What does this mean? And does it apply to watching all videos on your phone, from whatever platform?

The end, where they show the TikTok logo in a kind of swoosh along with that sound effect, really bothers me. I don't really know how to explain it - it's like nails on a chalkboard. Also, many of the videos have unnecessary sound effects that I dislike intensely. The food ones are the worst, with those horrible crunching sounds as they open packages.

As for videos on other platforms, sometimes they bother me, but nothing like the level of auditory abuse I find on TikTok. TT videos have too many instances of alternating loud and soft noises that I find disturbing. I can deal with it if the video content is good, but so much of the content on TT is rubbish, so I avoid it.

Some parents are on TikTok to monitor their childrens' accounts.

TikTok is the future. You'll all be on it eventually. Just a matter of time.

I’m already on it. I was asking what’s the replacement because being befuddled about people “still” on TikTok implies people are somewhere else now.

I can’t believe actual adults use Tik tok

Here is another reason not to have TikTok:

Try nothing. It’ll be good for your brain.

I watch it but do not post and can’t imagine I ever would

I like it for the funny videos, practical life advice , seeing how people live around the globe, and more.
