Comment on The Trouble With TikTok Is Getting Old

Hearing a kid literally say ’ can we watch tiktoks for bedtime tonight’ was an eye opener…literal brain rot
In short…you do not want your kid consuming fast paced trash. Yt shorts are just as pathetic. It does nothing positive, and destroys their brain and accustoms them to very short attention spans and instant gratification that isn’t possible in real life.
They are all bad and should be treated as such

While you do get my upvote consider this:
Encyclopedia Brittanica could have been said to be for people who didn’t have the attention span to read broadsheets and history books.
Obviously Brittanica was information while TikTok is lolcats but am curious to hear other not-so-obvious reasons why it is not a fair comparison.

Encyclopedia Brittanica wasn’t designed to be addicting and offer misinformation for one.

Fair call.
