I sometimes visit TikTok like twice a year just to understand what type of media your average Joe/Jane consumes. My conclusion is that it’s mindless and overly rapid content that does not sticks in the head. I could not recall anything I’ve consumed the day after.

But honestly it’s not THAT different from watching TV/YT all night, or scrolling reddit/lemmy. I cannot recall what content I’ve consumed yesterday, maybe only small pieces here and there, despite watching “intelligent” content like documentaries & video essays or reading articles & news. To my brain it was simply entertainment just for that moment. A waste of my precious life.

We all consume, but few of us create.

AI slop.

AI/tech bro hate bandwagon. All aboard.

It’s a hot topic. If CEO/CTO didn’t want to alienate users, they should’ve kept their mouths shut lmao.
