I agree! I think algorithms made with a profit incentive are harmful. I also think tiktok has been super impactful in a positive way to bring people together in a more human way than traditional sm allows for.
Yeah I genuinely see no difference between tiktok and other social media. Everyone on reddit/lemmy loves to hate on tiktok I never really got why. If it's because of data collection they're doing nothing any different than Facebook, insta, etc. Now X, that's another story lol.
I love the idea of this and then thinking of me at 5 I'd think it was funny and ignore it my whole life then find it at my exact age now only to hate my younger self
You're excusing their asshole design of requiring the server in the first place. They never needed it before. It doesn't make sense having to pay a subscription for a fucking car.
I'm the same way. I've found that I need another person to keep me accountible so taking lessons has help me. I started drums this year and it's something I've always wanted to do and having a teacher give me things to practice and checking in keeps me going.
But Instagram reels are so mean
