TikTok is just Vine but in a time where every child has a phone capable of making their own videos, as well as AI generated bullshit. There's some genuinely good content there, but you have to wade through an ocean of shit to find it.

But, I mean... The same could be said of YouTube, too.

    Specifically, it's a really bad YouTube nursery rhyme cartoon for toddlers. It's heavily addictive but totally vapid. Not everything young kids watch needs to be edutainment, but Cocomelon is obnoxious brainrot that kids love and adults hate.

    Wasn't that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?

    So deep. So edgy.

    For real, what makes this website of shitty memes, anime porn, and Linux circlejerks any better than short form media?

    I'm not a big proponent of tiktok, but posting on Lemmy with an heir air of superiority is beyond laughable.

    Short form videos are objectively bottom tier. Sprinkle on a state of the art algorithm to maximize addicition and engagement bait, and yeah, it's worse in every way.

    I'm not for it. I'm also not about social outcasts patting each other on the back for posting Garfield without Garfield comics daily.
