Lately, as I was searching for a job, I found that many job openings require TikTok experience. To explore the terrain of TikTok, I took the plunge. Although I am late to the party, I don’t regret it. Here is what I experienced:
Despite this obnoxiousness, the allure of bite-sized content is undeniable. In a world where time is a luxury, TikTok's snackable videos cater perfectly to those on the go, the perpetually busy, or anyone seeking a quick distraction. It's like the fast food of the social media world.
Quality plummets with every other video. My expectation of sensible content hit rock bottom as I scrolled down the feed. From bad grammar and punctuation to cringe-worthy pronunciation errors, the platform seemed like a breeding ground for communication mishaps. There is no quality standard. People spew whatever they feel like—no regard for proper grammar, spelling, and pronunciation.
To make matters worse, I encountered a plethora of trivial and downright useless content. I found myself questioning the life choices that led me to watch someone rearrange their sock drawer or attempt to make toast with an iron. Time, apparently, is not always well spent on TikTok.
In conclusion, TikTok has its merits, offering instant, small-sized content to stave off boredom. Yet, the platform's Achilles' heel lies in the need for a serious quality overhaul. As a latecomer, I can't help but hope that TikTok levels up its game, offering not just brevity but also substance in its content.
