What do you think about the TikTok app?

1. i never downloaded it and probably never will. not interested

2. Overrated and my friends are shock I don’t have TikTok downloaded/made an account. I just don’t see the point of downloading it

3. Personally, I really enjoy it! I make stupid videos and sometimes I find really funny or informative videos on my feed.

4. I don’t think about it at all

5. Stupid, unnecessary cringe factory. The best of it all is on YouTube anyway so why get that spying face scanner app when you could take the good without the bad?

6. The few clips I’ve seen weird me out, and I can’t explain why. I did admire the black dance creators/choreographers who stopped posting dances because they were being copied–poorly with no credit–by assholes who were taking credit for their creations.

7. before i deleted the app, there were so many people telling others what they can and cannot say. then you had another handful of people
   telling certain races they couldn’t sing a song because they “weren’t able to relate” to the lyrics. a mass amount of people on that app love to be offended and fake woke. the app is also very time consuming.

   other than that, entertaining platform lol.

8. It’s a chinese spy app, designed to be addictive for teens and ND people… I avoid it like the plague.

9. I feel like I either love it or hate it — no in between. Either hilarious, helpful or CRINGE AF

10. I really enjoy it. At first I was getting random videos that I wasn’t interested in – mainly insecure, half naked women. But once the app learned what I wanted to see, now ALL I get are cute cat videos.

11. I’ve never used or tried it and have no interest in doing so.

13. its okay

14. I love it. My algorithm is brilliant! A good mix of comedy, educational content and various other subjects. I laugh so hard sometimes I cry.

15. It doesn’t interest me.

16. It’s kind of creepy how fast the app picks up what you “want” to see. I could be researching mental health in any other app or simply talk about it outloud, then open tiktok and suddenly my suggested page is filled with uneducated mental health videos/memes. I know this can motivate some people to get help, but I feel like a lot of it is poisoning young people’s minds and convincing themselves of a wrong self diagnosis.

    It can be used for only humor and cute videos, which I think is the best part of it. But the clout seeking on that app is beyond toxic.

17. I think it’s kind of over rated people spend hours on it but I can’t spend more than twenty minutes with out getting bored

18. I just got off from Tiktok to answer this question 😂 I do found very amazing content creators from my community there and honestly never got the problematic, boring and cringey dancy stuff (I mean good for them, but not my cup of tea)that most tend to think of Tiktok. Also, because I’m a small business owner/content creator, I have to really put my stuff out there and honestly that’s the only reason why I’m on Tiktok. I’m able to get buyers there and there’s the Tiktok shop now too. For personal use, I don’t really spend much time because I know it’s going to really rot your brain and before you knew it, three hours of your life is gone down the randomness of content.
