Anyone else feel like millennials/xoomers that refuse to use Tiktok are as out of touch as boomers that refused to try using the Internet? The sound almost exactly the same
What are you talking about? TikTok isn’t the internet, just like Facebook wasn’t and MySpace wasn’t.
TikTok is like Snapchat. 13 years ago Snapchat was the cool app all the kids were using and making fun of older people for not getting it. 13 years later and it’s still just shitty text messaging, with the only people using it being those who cared a decade ago who got their family and friends to sign up just for them.
TikTok is just shitty Youtube and in 10 years will be replaced by something else. Plus, what exactly am I out of touch with? My reddit feed is already crammed with crappy TikTok videos. Take something mildly amusing with the volume off that would be moderately amusing with sound. Replace that sound with the most godawful music you can think of. Now repost it 100 times with the image cropped to oblivion and half the screen taken up by an emoji or some random mobile game. Woo yeah, that’s the future of content, let me tell you.
Can you clarify? You’re saying you don’t currently want to try TT because you don’t think it’s existed long enough, and/or that you didn’t try it before because you didn’t think it would last that long?
Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. “It’s just a fad”, “it won’t go anywhere/be useful/last long”.
I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn’t controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it’s not important?
That’s fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They’re not coming for “us” at least!

It kills me how people still are unable to see that it’s just the WWE. The R are the heels, the D are the face, and back stage they work out their routine for the night before stepping into the ring we call congress, the blood is fake and the insults and outcomes prewritten.

I would hate to be that stubborn

Older millennial here. I don’t use TT because it’s old hat and it doesn’t interest me at all. Wasn’t into Vine, not into TT.
Also, there’s so many reposts on Lemmy and from my friends that I’ve never needed to download it.
I think it’s not that I’m refusing to use it, it’s more like I’ve never needed to in order to function and enjoy life.
Probably same reason for Boomers.
One platform that dominates for a handful of years at most isn’t that important
