And you still see people on it. What else is there on tiktok aside from stupid dances

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Over 1 billion monthly users, about 25% of the people that use the Internet. So quite a bit more than dances tbh

There’s a lot on it.

It’s not just girls in things standing in a hot tub flossing.

I don’t like the company, I don’t use the product. But it is what Facebook was in 2010.

i used to think it was just the dances but then i started dating a girl last year who uses tiktok a lot and there's actually a lot of interesting content on there. it's like a different version of youtube. there's an algorithm.. you like cooking? lots of interesting cooking videos. there's also some interesting political content, mostly leftist from what i gather.

It's an algorithm based social media platform. There's so much on there beside what you see from clips etc. Just like anything else.

Funny skits, science info, almost real time information about congress stock trades and political corruption in the US.

I don't even have tiktok, but I get sent clips of musicians all the time
