I’ve been on social media for quite some time, but new to TikTok. The first thing I noticed is that the majority of the content is misleading if not completely false. Everything from financial advice, science, politics, etc.

Short videos on mobile = short attention span = You can lie for attention and hardly anyone’s gonna factcheck you or read the comments because it would break the video scrolling dopamine loop.

And once people start doing that, it’s a race to become the most attention catching by any means necessary. Truth and measured thought are buried in a sea of LOOK AT ME, ISN’T THIS CRAZY/HOT/OUTRAGEOUS
