Re:TikTok overtook Google as the most visited website in 2021 by ThalesX on Wednesday December 22, 2021 @10:38AM (#29650681)
For me, I received a cool video on FB Messenger, with a TikTok URL. So I opened it and could just see it without making an account. That felt fresh already.

Then I decided to get the app, and instantly I got a stream of actually interesting content from my region. It made an account for me with user# and I haven’t updated it since (maybe a year ago); no phone number, no e-mail.

In time it sort of adapted to my interests and now I have a constant stream of homesteading, woodworking, computer stuff, booms, women etc. It feels very positive. I don’t even remember ever seeing a divisive video.

At this date, with no affiliation, I feel TikTok has a good algorithm that actually takes into consideration your interests, delivers you fresh stuff and is not boosted with real shit metrics. I use it once or twice per week, but when I do I binge.
