    It’s designed to keep you rewatching until you get the info you want or give up and keep scrolling. Eroding your attention span in the process.

    TikTok is an evil platform that I will never use till the day I die. Don’t @ me

        The meme lied?!?!

        How can someone do this? Lie on the Internet!!!

        All jokes aside, I am wrong in this specific regard then, but in my opinion the way the tiktok is designed as a whole is extremely harmful.

        And you can hold down on the left-hand side of the screen to go to 2x temporarily, like YouTube does (but doesn’t do for shorts). I find that very convenient.

      I always wondered why people say “Don’t at me”. Finally figured out its because it meant to be “@” as in a ping.
