    Why has TikTok got to be the carcinisation of websites. YouTube is TikTok, Instagram is TikTok, fucking porn websites are TikTok. Soon you’ll be looking up a solution to a video game puzzle and the website will be a 9:16 video of text-to-speech reading out 8 paragraphs of what should’ve be text.

      One of my favorite memes is an extension of what you’re describing.

      A Mario streamer simpleflips will throw up Subway Surfers in extra screen real estate. Just keep adding more junk as time goes on.

      It’s funny as a gimmick. It’s sad that our actual reality does this though.

    imo, tiktok is a nesscary evil to reach a demographic that may not otherwise use their other media.

    From the looks of the comments, they also seem to avoid the facebook and HYS crazies.

    RSPB have leaned into it, and run a very silly channel with Bird Of The Week.
