i was in the first cohort of FB users in 2004. i remember myspace, friendster, digg, etc. i still use reddit and have fb and ig accounts but i haven't posted on either in over a decade. TikTok is the first truly enjoyable social media app I've experienced. yes it's terribly addictive (hours scrolling sometimes) but it's actually social (as on display here) and therefore successfully connects people. it's probably gonna go to shit soon (lately i see a ton of derivative or spammy content) but at least it reaffirmed (like back in the day when i watched everything on ebaums) that the internet can be delightfully fun.
