I still haven't installed/registered for tiktok, I have no more bandwidth for another social network. I'm still fighting IG and Twitter addiction, what happens when I add another one. Just throw your phones away haha.

If you ever do want to see how addicting it is, you need to prime it first so that it doesnt just show you teenager cringe.
All you got to do is look at the tiktok videos already shared to your instagram feed, and follow the accounts watermarked in those videos
basically recreating your inferior instagram algorithm with only tiktok content your friends and explore page already show you
now you’ve upgraded from a consumable dopamine inducing system from last decade, to an intravenous dopamine hit directly connected to the source

#5Even if TikTok were suddenly wiped off every phone on the planet, a competitor would take its place. TikTok simply takes advantage of people's desire to be entertained and apathy over privacy issues.

Sounds right. One day I decided to try TitTok. Next thing I knew it was late into the night and I hadn't even eaten dinner. That was the first and last time I used that service.

#7I have to say that I've never used tiktok on the phone and even on the desktop it's quite engaging. But the only reason why it even exists is because vine was killed by twitter in probably the worst business decision this millennium. So it's neither new, nor unique, nor inevitable. It is just the first non-us social media site and Americans are deeply worried about suffering what they subjected the rest of the world for the last 20 years.

yeah I don’t open it anymore and its behind a category’s screentime limits
the few times I am searching for something there, first I close my eyes when opening the app and hit the search button in the UI

It is the new digital crack / cocaine for the kids these days, just like Facebook was a decade ago, but even worse. It is also hardly as some of its most addicted fans have said "The best thing to have happened to the Internet" [0], It is completely the opposite; [1] especially for yet another algorithm optimizing for 98% of your attention and relaying more content based on your viewing habits.
The solution is to delete all your accounts off of these platforms and just don't look back. [2] You're not missing a thing.
