It’d just be boring video responses to video responses

Have you seen tiktok?

Have you seen tiktok?

I am honestly very happy to say “no.”

Glad to see I’m not alone. I don’t understand the hype behind tiktok… it’s the exact same thing as Vines and I wasn’t exactly excited about Vines eithers

It’s endless content for people with short attention spans that don’t care about the quality or even really the topic of the content they are consuming… they just want mindless entertainment to occupy their time without needing to make any decisions or take any actions. Or even to stay focused on any one thing for more than a few seconds.

So, of course it’s extremely popular.

I don’t get tiktok either, but I have a friend who seems to spend hours on it every day.

I wish I hadn’t but I know of it since several friends tie their existences to it. But yes, that is ADHD central.

Hell, YouTube too. I remember seeing an hours long video that was a response to someone else’s hour long video (I think it was about dark souls 2 or bloodborne?). There’s tons of response videos there too

You are probably thinking about HBombomberguy’s “In Defense of Dark Souls 2” and Mauler’s 10 video response of it.
