I don't know how anyone can enjoy using a platform that throws 20 TikTok shop videos in your face and these "influencers" acting like awful QVC spokespeople of cheap, offshore products.

That, but also how fake it is and has been for years now. I feel bad for all those influencers who fell off or can only do one thing because they created a "niche" and are known for doing that one thing.

Also how sad it is that it ruined many families because fame got in the way of values.

The opposite could probably be said, but as Carl Sagan warned, this medium has done more harm than helped us.
