Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are all fine but I've never felt any desire to explore them. For me, TikTok has been genuinely delightful and interesting to scroll through. I don't think the TikTok algorithm can quite keep up with my diverse interests (absurdist humor, dance, memes, antique machinery, home improvement, wind turbine and power transmission, cats, etc.), but it has still done a great job of showing me interesting, educational, and emotional (e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@pinupandpigeons/video/71582333179874...) things. It definitely displays too many "Live" and "Shop" videos in my feed for my liking, but it also has the most prominent anti-influencer and anti-consumer content I've seen on social networks. TikTok has really changed my thinking about the youngest generation. Before I probably saw the youngest generation as spoiled brats who are ruining everything. Now I see there there plenty of interesting, creative, dedicated, and hard working young people who are probably the best hope for saving things from the spoiled geriatric ruling class that is too immature and selfish to not hoard and consume everything they can, future generations be damned.
