I’m not sure if Tik tok drastically changed their algorithm or if the people generating content changed from the height of the pandemic into this phase but I really can’t think of another app that I found so great and useful becoming so fundamentally boring to me that I deleted it. When I started using it the content it served up was so weirdly specific to my needs and when I lost interest earlier this year it was like half text to speech nonsense over found tv footage that was occasionally salacious
Big agree. I downloaded it in 2020 and was mildly amused by the videos, but I didn't see the supposedly addictive qualities that everyone (including on here) was talking about. Since then, the algorithm has gotten much worse and I don't even bother watching it anymore. For example yes I'm approaching middle age, but endless Middle America lowbrow humor videos of other middle aged guys complaining about their wives is boring? Why does TikTok serve me a hundred of these in a row? It's like a Walmart comedy special
