I don't have TikTok; that app makes me uncomfortable. I still have an old Instagram account that I check occasionally to look at pages for certain shops and restaurants, as well as two local news accounts for the state where I live to stay updated sometimes that’s where I find out if a highway is closed. I don't follow any "influencers" because, honestly, I find their videos ridiculous.

I can't stand TikTok, seeing all the people talking about some guys selling things on the street or random guys peacocking kills me inside.

Idk if TikTok is exposing how stupid most people are, or making them stupid?

The frustrating thing is that those are the videos that go viral; there is idiotic content on every platform, yet if you look closely, you can also find valuable material on all of them. For instance, I wanted to learn embroidery but didn't know anyone or any place where I could take lessons, so I turned to the internet to watch sewing and embroidery videos. Thanks to a woman who posted Instagram videos featuring recipes adapted for children under two, I was able to find tasty, healthy options for my daughter which was a huge help, since she used to be a real challenge when it came to eating.

The sad part is that the ones who actually share good info, how long will they keep sharing it, since more attention goes to those silly videos? I found many amazing old blogs, but most haven't been updated for a while.

There are still amazing ppl out there sharing great information, but then because of the feedback mechanism: silly content gets more clicks, so more ppl will produce them.
