Anybody remember when TikTok actually used to be funny?

Never used it. I feel like this happened with Vine and YouTube though. History repeats itself.

The funny videos and content creators are still there. But the app is obviously attracting more scammers, bots, spam ai garbage accounts, and so much more by the day. I find myself more and more busy blocking and reporting accounts than having fun watching funny videos. But because TikTok is automated and not actually moderated by human beings or ai, it is constantly being gamed so people know how to get around the rules.

People are learning to get around the ad market and selling products that are false and misleading. Rage bait and toxicity runs rampant like accounts such as Miss Andry. There are nude men and women showing their private parts on screen to children but they can't be reported because it's "covered by translucent" clothing.

Personally I found myself getting more and more angry even though I use to like TikTok. I'm very close to uninstalling it.

Ok boomer ...have you tried deleting the app

Lol no.

All social media platforms turn into rage bait machines.

This sounds so stupid, but in 2021 I used to watch compilations of "funny Tiktoks" on youtube that were like an hour or more long each. At some point I was watching those compilation videos for hours, and I was like you know I should probably just download the app at this point. And that's the entire reason I initially downloaded Tiktok. Lol

It’s true. My feed is all rage bait, racism, content I flag “not interested”, or stuff I’ve already seen. I haven’t laughed on that app in months. I’m probably going to delete it.

TikTok has definitely shifted over time, and it’s valid to miss when it felt more fun and lighthearted. Taking breaks is a healthy way to reset. Maybe just algo was messed up? I said this because sometimes mine is like that too, I am just taking breaks for a while.

Every other video is someone trying to sell you something. They've turned some of the best content creators into snake oil salesman.
