TikTok is just Vine but in a time where every child has a phone capable of making their own videos, as well as AI generated bullshit. There’s some genuinely good content there, but you have to wade through an ocean of shit to find it.
But, I mean… The same could be said of YouTube, too.
Mm, I dunno. I think the crux of Vine was mostly overwhelmingly positive content from no demographic in particular, whereas Tiktok seems to mostly be negative content with a more focused push on upper class Gen Z users
I can’t remember seeing a single nerdy, black suburban anime kid tiktok (which were huge on Vine lol)
And it’s vertical form ☹️
What is Cocomelon?
A show my sister won’t let her toddler watch
Brainrot for babies. Don’t google it. You’ll be much happier not knowing.
It’s a cartoon series that does nursery rhyme songs, largely to the same 4 melodies with different words. Kids get mesmerized by it for whatever reason, very little to be learned from it. It’s what you use to park your kid so you can get dinner out of the oven without your child burning themself.
They literally test it by parking children in front of it and optimising for the least amount of time spent looking away from the screen. As a result the kids get overstimulated and executive function gets damaged.

A cartoon for toddlers.
Specifically, it’s a really bad YouTube nursery rhyme cartoon for toddlers. It’s heavily addictive but totally vapid. Not everything young kids watch needs to be edutainment, but Cocomelon is obnoxious brainrot that kids love and adults hate.
At least it’s not Caillou.
Caillou is actually made be people who are at least trying to do something useful. Coconelon is made by people with a meth dealer mentality.
Imagine if Caillou had dead, dead eyes. That’s cocomelon.
The only reference I have for it is the Pupa saying it a bunch in Solar Opposites.
I do love how they handled kicking Justin Roland off the show. Way better than Rick and Morty handled it.
This made me laugh harder than necessary lmao
There are grownups who use Tiktok? Ew
He says on Lemmy with zero awareness.
The two really aren’t that comparable
Why not? How are the dank memes and and doom posting that much better? Because there isn’t enough content to create an entirely endless stream?
Because it doesn’t use a manipulative algorithm to trap people in a loop of short term dopamine hits.
grown ups you say ?
And this place isn’t?
Ice cold take stolen from other media.
Not that I am disagreeing or anything.
Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?
Yes but I thought about that episode in the shower
I have no idea, I’m not even sure what that is.
So deep. So edgy.
For real, what makes this website of shitty memes, anime porn, and Linux circlejerks any better than short form media?
I’m not a big proponent of tiktok, but posting on Lemmy with an
heirair of superiority is beyond laughable.Short form videos are objectively bottom tier. Sprinkle on a state of the art algorithm to maximize addicition and engagement bait, and yeah, it’s worse in every way.
I’m not for it. I’m also not about social outcasts patting each other on the back for posting Garfield without Garfield comics daily.
And yet, here you are. 🤔

I’m not acting like I’m better than anyone
Maybe, but you are projecting quite a bit.
Please don’t put words in OP’s mouth. Especially misspelt words. Thank you.
If you’re attacking spelling, you’ve already lost the argument.
Is there an heiress of superiority? Is she single?
That’s a good joke.
