How do people enjoy TikTok now?

I deleted TikTok a few months ago, then I deleted Insta. I remembered a recipe I saved on TikTok, so I redownloaded it to get the recipe and inevitably started scrolling.

30 mins went by and I had realised I had scrolled through utter shit. That app is a thief of time, and the content on it is definitely dead. The comments were seemingly entirely bots, and every video was about weight, an OnlyFans girl, a squishy unboxing, or people trying to cancel random celebrities for not waving back at fans 3 years ago…

Do people enjoy TikTok anymore? It seemed to me like I just dissociated for 30 mins and let my thumb scroll towards nothing. Fuck that app, I’m never going back.
