Whatever form of entertainment you want to see. TikTok algorithm quickly adjust the algorithm to show you what you like or don’t skip instantly, and it’s very good at it.
The problem is it’s all superficial content that will vanish from your mind 3s later, so 2h scrolling on TikTok or Reels feel like 2 blank hours from your day. Besides, since the algorithm decides what you’ll see, it’s like your brain shuts down similarly to what happens when you’re vegetating in front of TV watching whatever crap they’re throwing at you.
