Both tiktok/facebook encourage conformity, discourage intelligent thought, reward mindless consumption, shortens attention spans. the companies spy on users with impunity, and the software is locked down and impedes the open internet.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a service like this existing. facebook has pioneered this parasitic model, dominated the internet for years, the bar is so low that it cannot possible go lower.

Intelligent families will prohibit their children from unrestricted access to websites like facebook/tiktok/youtube.

All in all, it is a trend and will be replaced, and whatever replaces it will probably be an improvement.
