I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
I’m probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I’m missing 99% of the content. And it’s hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It’s very isolating
I dont have TT. I also don’t have Snapchat. Therefore, I also don’t have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.
Assuming you have a phone which skies allows you to deny permissions on an app-level, what is preventing you from browsing it? Is it political? Job related (ie your only device is a work device)?
While you can easily let it feed you crap, you have a reasonable ability to tune what the algo feeds you. Unless you really do have a self control issue, which is legit/fair reading to avoid the temptation.
Why would you give them access? Maybe android sucks, but iOS sandboxes apps. And on desktop you just pull up a firefox private session. It’s not that hard.

It’s usually the invasive data collection that gets people.
Yup, this is the reason.
