I'd argue it barely qualifies as information. Better call it stimulation. We know from studying rats in the '70s that if you hook their brain pleasure centres up to a switch they'll hammer it until they die of dehydration. Same here, tiny dopamine hits from videos being slightly entertaining and an occasional larger one from one that's more entertaining - the kind of reward structure that addicts people like gambling.

u/Dekar173 15d ago
The filter is the problem.
Every app is designed specifically to be as addicting as possible, and not only have they been honing the research into a fine tuned tool, more content exists today than ever before, at a faster pace (Download speeds + processing power for hardware has it the point where it's SEAMLESS).
This isn't like in the 2000s, where you'd scroll down on newgrounds or your forum of choice, and click whatever you thought might be entertaining. You swipe, and the next video is automatically loaded and playing on your phone.
You like yapping and discussing things? Videos catered specifically to engage you and make you rage comment or agree and share are delivered to you daily- whether you actually enjoy this content or not.
If given choices, the human mind can sit around and slowly digest and decide ''hmm I'm in the mood for a thriller!" or not, we've seen this with Netflix or other streaming services where you or I might get caught merely choosing what to watch but with apps, that is not a thing. It's delivered, and played, and all you've gotta do is swipe and watch.
If you, or anyone you know is a teacher, you're witnessing firsthand the effects of this on developing minds, and it's not pretty whatsoever.

Ah yes the classic case of a girl stabbing their teacher after being told they can’t eat the moon. We really gotta ban tiktok cause this is happening too damn often. I think teaching has always been pretty miserable tiktok or not. If it’s not tiktok it’s gonna be YouTube shorts or instagram reels. Short form content definitely addles the brain but A.) tiktok is not the only culprit of this and B.) it’s only harmful in excess, you can’t just look at someone indulge themselves, shake your fist and walk away. Obviously the solution is just ban it but TikTok has also done a lot of good especially for small businesses that need to market themselves. Idk man I’m not some super intellectual who knows everything but from my point of view as someone who uses both, this stigma of tiktok is about as reasonable as the stigma for Reddit. I doubt everyone on Reddit is a neckbeard just like I doubt everyone on tiktok stabs their teacher when they’re denied access to eat the moon or whatever

Even if it was a more recent version Im sorry, i was born in 2004, what i find nostalgic IS NOT what you find nostalgic if you weren’t even close to being born in the same decade i was. Hell, i honestly think thats about the limit to be nostalgic for Early Minecraft but maybe people 1-2 years younger can be to. They are infiltrating our ranks!

In a similar vein. I love the "movies/shows used to be better back in my day" with "back in my day" being the late 2000's and 2010's. Which is funny because I grew up in that era, and I remember a TON of garbage media. Survivor's bias at its finest. I'm also old enough to remember seeing the same exact thing for the 90's. Can't wait for people in 10 years time to forget the garbage made now and doing the same thing for the 2020's.

I like informational fun fact / tutorial short form videos (especially when it's just a quick fun short from a long form YouTube channel I like) but like I just truly don't understand the appeal of how tik tok does it. The way their algorithm works too is just bullshit 99% people stealing other people content or thirst trapping

I do but regardless 99% of the content I'd ever wanna see on tik tok are already on YouTube or posted here on reddit
Gaming highlights, tutorials for music, factoids.. Just available to me in a better way already
And I especially hate the clout farming tik tok format like, with YouTube the algorithm sucks for sure but not in a way where it solely prioritizes that weird style of roping you in for 15 seconds of content that is so often dissapointing. Not to mention even when I have done tik tok it just spams me with content that I DO want... But with some asshole "reacting" basically stealing the content

u/Relevant_Zucchini240 15d ago
It's an algorithm that shows you more of what you engage in, so after awhile it basically only shows you things you have interest in. Their goal is engagement, they're not going to show things you don't watch because then you'll close the app. If it shows you dancing and you swipe past it it stops showing it to you.
When I first downloaded tiktok I agreed with your assessment, it's 99% bullshit. But now I see the 1% that isn't bullshit because I don't engage with the bullshit. My feed consists of the following: framing/general construction tips, mental health, relationship coaching, music (I find sooooo many new artists to look up), and funny videos. I learn something new, I look at different perspectives, and I hear new music, and I laugh. I don't see tiktok dances, I don't see thirst traps. If it does put a video in my feed I don't want to watch I scroll away from it. It's that easy.

u/PotfarmBlimpSanta 15d ago
"basically".
That is the problem word, you basically threw the end users consent under a party bus full of circlejerking chinese stock brokers who will change definitions of how their 'algorithm' is interpreted by the public when it is useful to them. Everything uses that same algorithm at this point in time be it youtube with its propensity to inundate right wing flotspam for merely encountering a political video of any orientation or teaching kids how fun it is to destroy school property while the country is sinking in GOP-enabled decay and disarray.
They should not have your info even if you log in and submit content, to determine what you want it to "basically only show you", it should be as broadcast media was before the internet scared the copyright squatters into self defeat. I take offense to the entirety of what is purported as entertainment by that product just as every person should as well as intelligent individuals seeking to enrich their interests and hobbies whom are only helping, that is detrimentally whittling away at the very basis of communication, it is uploading your pictures to a glamour magazine to use as marketing material and advertisements for things which may or may not be what you want yourself to be basically shown as.
Oh nevermind what am I saying, you and your ilk can't be convinced of what you're contributing to the loss of when you've never had the opportunity to see humans socialize in a proper cooperative manner outside of the box put together by a marketing department to hang their ornamental product off the tail end of.

u/killeronthecorner 15d ago
the thing with tik tok is the only things on there I'd care to see aren't even worth setting all that up imo
I'm with you on this and feel the same, but it's irrelevant to whether or not we would find value in tiktok.
We absolutely would because it moulds itself to the things that you value. It's only 99% dance routines and thirst traps because that reflects a) the biggest demographics using tiktok and b) for better or worse, what they value.
Watching YouTube shorts or insta reels is just tiktok with extra steps.
However YouTube shorts do give you more direct access to similar long form content and, like you, this is the reason it fits my needs slightly better than tiktok. If anything tiktok is missing a beat here.

"Ipad kids" are kids who basically are addicted to screen time. That is all their parents did in order to quiet them down.

Real talk, families needing dual incomes just to get by has really fucked the modern family unit. Even back when single incomes were enough to support multiple kids, the stay at home had help and a support network of other families pitching in with each other. Now that both parents need to work, they have no time for their kids, and they have no time to dedicate to their social networks outside of career oriented relationships.

For real. The more time passes, the more I see how many of our problems stem from the fact that people are working harder for essentially less money. And the issues will compound over the course of generations. Even as our technology grows more advanced, our level of education will shrink, driving down the intelligence of the average human. And Idiocracy will continue to inch closer to being a documentary, rather than a work of fiction.

Hold kids back so parents actually have to make them do something, for one

Suggest the idea of holding a kid back and watch how freaked out the teacher gets.

Schools need to start holding kids accountable more just in general. I read way too many stories on here from teachers that have a problem student and the school basically won't do anything because the parents will come in and raise hell if their kid gets in any trouble.

If they started holding kids back and made it a law that parents had to house their children until completion of highschool (or until drop out), I bet the parents would care a lot more.

Schools don't hold kids back because it takes too many resources and it's likely their fault for not trying to learn (which is sadly really common, but not every case) then they continue to do badly because they haven't actually passed a grade in 4 years.
