you donā€™t understand the chokehold tiktok had on me! i would rot for hours, youtube has been a good alternative thankfully. watching music videos and video essays make me feel a lot more serene (in a weird way)

bossanovalvr no it was so bad! people always think iā€™m joking when i say this, but i had to do serious self reflecting after the app was gone for 14 HOURS. it was doing me no good, so i deleted. but yes! iā€™ve been loving video essays. its only been like a 1.5 week without having it, but i feel so much better

princessss bro itā€™s so spooky how quickly time passes when youā€™re rotting on tiktok. drives me absolutely ballistic. same here though, i dont have instagram or tiktok and it sounds so redundant but itā€™s so nice.

So i recently I've deleted tiktok, again. I deleted in 2020 then re-download it 4 years later when a friend reminded me that I never actually got rid of my account. I hear a lot of people say "I want to delete but i cant cuz I learn so much!", or "I able see this niche thing I can't find anywhere else!". And that's fair to an extent but it's an algorithm. You didn't "find" anything. You enjoy being fed your slop instead of finding it yourself. I think this is fine! I found this amazing site through tiktok myself. I just hate when ppl complain about something that's supposedly causing them more harm then good, but still go back to said thing. If you really care about a topic, you WILL find an alternative way to consume that topic. For instance, I like saving recipes and tiktok can be good for that. However, tiktok also makes me want to kms so I will use Pinterest instead. Or I like watching lifestyle content so I'll go on YouTube instead. Obviously other platforms have their own issues but if you really wanted to leave the app, you would've but you don't because ur addicted to the slop and u hve fomo.

Iā€™m personally starting to tire of short form videos and starting to enjoy vlogs again. I feel theres a good possibility tiktokers will make the shift to youtube the way viners migrated to youtube when vine got shut down.

Use it! I now donā€™t see videos that Require me to interact to avoid bad luck, anti aging tips, thrift hauls, etc. it actually does make my life better.

i never used to be someone who cared about waking up early to watch the sunrise. or looked out the window if there was a pretty sunset. but for my friends birthday, she really wanted to go to a lookout to watch the sunset. i obviously went because it was her birthday. if it wasnā€™t her birthday, i wouldā€™ve said now. old me couldnā€™t care less about the sun setting. but new me has a new appreciation for it. i never thought that watching the sun go down would make me sad. in the moment, i was wishing for the sunsetting process to go slower so i could take it in for longer.

iā€™m a coffee hater to my core. so this is such a weird response. but i was sitting at friends work the other day (a coffee shop) and the smell of coffee getting grounded and a latte getting made brought genuine joy to me in that moment. itā€™s weird.
