I truly believe that the global average IQ has been dropping ever since the creation of TikTok.

And it isn't only affecting their userbase, content on other platforms has also been affected making the internet so full of trash recently.

You open facebook and there's facebook reels, open youtube and there's youtube shorts. Which is basically a place for retarded videos that aren't long enough to get you any useful information or knowledge.

We have been criticizing video games for their violence but are absolutely okay with harmful social media like this, why?

Is humankind advancing into a retarded era?

This dude is right

Glad that I never used TikTok

I don't think your average IQ changes after your born, IQ/intelligence is more of a genetic factor and not what you do with your life. Agree with the rest of your post, its a easy way to get people addicted to that platform/website. It creates a instant boost of dopamine making people addicted (backed up with evidence and lots of articles https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/01/18/digital-crack-cocaine-the-science-behind-tiktoks-success/?sh=cf3071d78beb).

"We have been criticizing video games for their violence "

That's mostly boomers who say that stuff, I don't hear many people criticizing video games for violence.

Also new to breach hope I don't get banned for correcting a mod :)

From my personal experience, genetics doesn't define IQ, and in fact, your IQ could change throughout your adult life.
My IQ (officially tested) has dropped by 3 points compared to when I was 17, I don't know what happened, maybe I'm getting old.
I believe that a person's childhood has a big factor in their intelligence and personality development, and considering that most of TikTok's users are kids,  I believe we have made them become stupid.

"That's mostly boomers who say that stuff, I don't hear many people criticizing video games for violence."

Yes, it's mostly boomers who have been criticizing video games, but it's also them who are ignoring the harmful side of TikTok.

I'm not a mod, and you could call a mod nigger here without getting banned.

"I believe that a person's childhood has a big factor in their intelligence and personality development, and considering that most of TikTok's users are kids,  I believe we have made them become stupid."

3 points is little and your IQ usually fluctuates less when your older.

Sure, I agree. I also think that when a child is exposed to addicting TikTok/YT content with those brain numbing videos (dances) it increases the risk of mental illnesses such as ADHD/Autism/Anxiety. There isn't much proof to backup my claim but mental illnesses aren't 100% genetic there more like 70% genetic (source1, source2). In my own words I like to think of TikTok dances and those mind-numbing stupid videos like Legal Porn. It's so addicting easy to use and more and more kids are using it every year.

"but it's also them who are ignoring the harmful side of TikTok"

Boomers don't know what TikTok is, they loop everything involving technology all into one category no matter if its educational or not.

"I'm not a mod, and you could call a mod nigger here without getting banned."

Thats good to know illl make sure to try that ;).

couldn't agree more, not just harming children but adults too

Tiktok is just a cancer on society and everyone practically should know this from the articles of data mismanagement, and groomer abundancy, so with its abundancy of minimal effort and being an asshole for views content

I just pity the suckers perpetually stuck in a routine with it but hope that ei can one day breakout of it
