85% of black content on Tik Tok/Insta is self aggrandizement and putting other black people down

[O.Red]

The difference is TikTok is used by Millions and there are accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers that produce content with algorithms that amplify those toxic shorts .
I'm 38. What reason to I have to be on a social media app with people under 25 anyways?

And you don't know my tastes or what I'm into.

Speak on yourself. Respectfully champ.

Tik Tok being only kids is a myth



Tik Tok is full of grown adults

You're quantifying this statement off of emotion, not statistical fact

I be sharing dope music finds and breaking down stuff I'm hearing in it on IG.

It's definitely self aggrandizement cause my taste is so much better than yours .

 

[Supa]

You find whatever you're looking for.

Ask your lady why she likes that type of content.

 

[Standing on business]

What you saw was your girlfriends algorithm's and the content she's chooses to see

Tons of dope unknown and up and coming musicians and artists on IG.

I follow lots of fashion accounts, musicans, artists, sneaker accounts, some IG thotties (lol), and lots of skateboarding .

TikTok is good for some tracks that go viral on there.

Tictok is literally want you want to see so if your feed is full of c00n shyt maybe you should look at yourself .

 

[ThiefyPoo]

I'm not gonna lie, all the Tiktoks posted here turned me off completely to it.
Didn't even see any need to continue to have the app on my phone after that.

It’s the goat give it a chance it’s literally only what you want to see . I stayed away for a long time myself . Also u don’t have to post u can just view .

85% of black content on your girlfriends Tik Tok/Insta feed is self aggrandizement and putting other black people down

Big ass red flag

 

[NobodyReally]

Nah, that's you. TikTok runs on algorithms that are based on user interests. So it gives you content based on what you like and save. If you keep watching, liking, and saving self-hate, it'll serve you up more of it. I've NEVER seen any of the stuff you're talking about because I don't click like or save it. I only get positive Black content.

 

[Still Benefited]

Yes I noticed this too. It put me in a very dark mood and was temporarily angry and disgusted with my people for the rest of the day. I can't imagine watching this shyt 24/7. Its no wonder why mental illness is at an all time high and people are just generally unhappy these days. If you're already feeling fukked up this content just reinforces it and it becomes a feedback loop of negativity. Strangely when you feel low about yourself you either want to be consistently outraged or make others feel low about themselves too. What we consume and create on social media is a direct reflection of what many of us are feeling on the inside. A lot of these videos would have thousands of likes too. There's a disturbing amount of miserable people out here.

In regards to the black male/female rivalry on these platforms; I already knew the bitterness between black men and women ran deep but I didn't know it was THAT DEEP.

You need to download the app back. You need to see what you are seeing. Alot of yall still havent comr to the conclusion that your people aint your people. Black people have been genetically modified by bad info. From the European ideologies,down to food we eat and social media.


Once you've seen enough you will stop clinging to outdated ideas like "the community". Black people who think like you are your only community. Delete everyone and everything else that doesnt fit that. And shockingly your perception will change. You wont be seeing all the negativity,black people tearing each other down,fake women,black men and women who hate each other. This is a simple science you should take with you in real life#TheObserversEffect



See it til your sick of seeing it,wake up,delete it,recreate it from your new perspective. At some point you will get to a place where you can see it. Yet remain indifferent and righteously unnaffected. But your not there yet.

I feel like I live on Mars not using social media. I have to be told about all that fukkery and misinformation
