And you still see people on it. What else is there on tiktok aside from stupid dances
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.
Funny skits, science info, almost real time information about congress stock trades and political corruption in the US.
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.
I don't even have tiktok, but I get sent clips of musicians all the time
