You don't need to use meth to have an informed opinion on it, and dear lord its popularity has no bearing on its value.
No, it is accurate. The three primary sources of inspiration for TikTok videos seems to be Facebook style outrage bait, black american subculture, and anime, which all rely heavily on zany and sassy and dramatic reactions to shit. Every time someone shows me something, I just have to smile and nod to be polite.
It isn't by accident, either, every social media platform is designed to appeal to the 14-25 demographic, the rest of us are just stuck along for the ride, and you get exactly the maturity and sophistication you'd expect from that design focus. The short format and pressure to grab people in 0.5 seconds before they scroll past aren't helping, either.
I get it, you don't like TikTok. Again, neither do I but I'm not making it my personality to shit on what others do like.
This isn't about 'not letting people enjoy things', you straight up equated tiktok with the likes of MASH, one of Seinfeld's examples. But lets just pretend we were arguing about something else.
