  If this was a cartoon, now would be the time it starts raining on you.

    I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.

    I'm the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,

    I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.

    So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.

    And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I'm not impressed by what I've seen, at all.

      You’re just not the target audience. Likely too old.

        When I worked in a factory, all the old country maintenance guys and techs were on tik Tok during their breaks.

      There was a YT channel some time ago, before Vine and before TikTok (or musical.ly) called 5 Second Videos or something like that that produced genuinely entertaining content (in horizontal format).
