tiktok has great features that make its content more addicting to return to than any other platform:
- it’s all video means it’s higher quality than an image
- every video is guaranteed views which lets anyone go viral
- when anyone can go viral you get more organic content. depends on your patterns but i think most people see majority videos by regular people. the content is much more relatable
- no need to follow
- algorithm is good at finding videos you will like
- keeps you up to date on latest trends (improves your social perception)
- easy to make videos. great editor, pick any music
and you can just scroll down forever. i had it about a year but recently deleted it. it was the ultimate time filler. and honestly too good
Yup, you got it. Tiktok is not digital crack. It is digital cocaine. The purest form.(Assuming the purest form is the best).

Both things use chemical reactions in the brain to create an addiction. The only difference is that smoking is regulated.
I do not think they are the same. People addicted to social media can be locked in a room for a week, without social media, and show no adverse withdrawal symptoms. If you try the same to people addicted to drugs, they might die.

The engagement in Tiktok is part of what makes it addictive. You post a video and Tiktok gets it in front of people who will engage with it(in many different ways). Then your brain releases dopamine. And the cycle of continues.
Which makes me wonder, if someone created a wearable hardware device. Then, when you press a button it tells your brain to produce dopamine. Will this device be made illegal? Because that is exactly what cocaine does to your brain.
In short, there is a place for both.
