Weird part about it, it really depends. The last time I checked, my TikTok feed was just full of funny small videos filmed by random people doing stupid trends outside. Nothing about their lives exactly attracts me. However, the fact that a lot of people see these videos, and I reshare it with my friends and laugh at it together is what can make it remarkable.

Obviously, it heavily depends. I’ve looked at my friends’ feeds and it’s exactly what you’ve described.




This is the actual great thing about TikTok. My experience of TikTok seems very different to the majority of the commenters here, it’s like we’re on different platforms.

Obviously we all like different things, and there is enough content to fill everyone’s feeds with it.


Yeah, the one thing people familiar with TikTok seen to agree on and be impressed by is its ability to cater the content it serves to your desires.

That's actually what got me to try it out. There were multiple cases where I heard that, so downloaded it and spent some time on it. After you've used it a few hours, you start really getting mostly the stuff you like.

You just have to be very careful not to engage with stuff you don't want to see. Scroll away as soon as you've determined it's not for you, as they'll notice if you watch things to the end. I made a conscious decision that I didn't want to engage in content where people were complaining about the behavior of other people and scrolled past as soon as I identified things as such, and I stopped getting them within a few days. My TikTok is all fun/funny stuff.
