Basically every comment here says positive things about tiktok. Is this a bot invasion on HN or is it really that good?

The few times I tried it it gave me loads of crappy content. No thank you, I'm not in for another doom scrolling addiction. The world has already enough addictive dopamine-f**ing time-sucker almost contentless social medias. I don't have the energies to fight against or maniacally curate my feed for yet another one.

I'd evaluate the usefulness of a social media or any other app by looking at a couple of metrics: 1) how much time do you spend there daily? 2) after you have used it, do you feel a better/improved person? I'd be curious to see numbers for these metrics. If anybody has links to papers/surveys that study how good or bad is a certain social media, please feel free to share.

No I think these people are either being paid or are smoking crack, I haven’t used it much but when I have all (edit: “much of”, not all obviously) I’ve seen is soft-core porn and white nationalist or men’s rights propaganda. It’s actually really awful.

Even the soft core porn made me disgusted with humanity because of the terrible music. Someone will probably pop in and say “oh you have to let it learn what you like!” No I don’t.

You haven't used it much yet you somehow in your very short experience know everyone's experience with it and anyone who has had a different experience must be paid or on drugs? I hope you realize how bad that sounds...
