Sure its just another algorithmic-based feed. But in my experience (and from talking to a few ppl who enjoy TikTok), the For You page is a differentiator. It's like a combination of what's trending, what's recent (time wise), and what you've spent time interacting (watching, liking, commenting) with previously.
Again all platforms do some form of this, but just saying TikTok does it in a pretty addicting way.
Also combine that with the fact that TikTok videos are so incredibly short that by the time they're over, you haven't even decided whether or not you liked it (no doubt by design), which means you can endlessly consume content.
Also, I've heard that TikTok has better (read: better for comedy-style content) tools to edit videos in the app
I seem to be the only person here who actually uses tiktok. What makes tiktok different is the musical background (somehow people never mention this when comparing it to vine), the fyp algorithm being incredibly good, and the various communities built around certain niches. It's night and day compared to other apps.
idk whenever and whomsoever's phone i look at it's always just pushing videos of scantily clad underage gals dancing to whatever song is popular att. you have to actively hide that stuff/follow creators and hit "only people i follow" to see any actually creative|interesting stuff.
surprised there hasn't been any controversy about that - tiktok is a predator's paradise.
