I get it to an extent for privacy reasons, but most of the people making that type of comment are just going “oh no, that’s what the kids are into so it’s Bad”. Personally I’m too apathetic about the privacy aspect to care too, bug companies are spying on us all and manipulating us all the time anyway and I just can’t be bothered to get worked up about one particular one

I’ve seen almost none of that, so no idea where you’re getting that from. Most people are against it because either a) China b) it known to cause mental issues and decrease patience or c) spying. No one gives a fuck about what kids are into.
Definitely, it’s not hard to just see shit you want to see on there if you’re using it, if someone is seeing enraging stuff I have to assume it’s their fault
Fair, though to my mind that’s all social media, so I can’t get worked up about one particular one. The reason I’m glad I was pushed off reddit is because I’d end up in a doomscroll trance there too
There’s degrees to be sure though - ticktock is the absolute worst, because it has a lot of content and a good algorithm… Plus, short form video is the easiest to get lost in
I think it’s an individual thing, and probably also dependent on said individuals state of mind. I dropped off TikTok ages ago because of its tendency to get me lost, with reddit I didn’t entirely know how bad it was until the blackout happened and I noticed how often I would just compulsively reach for my phone to open reddit when I wasn’t doing anything else
Well that’s just capitalism. Just like the rise of sugary drinks and booze cigs etc. We’re not optimizing for the well-being of people. It’s all about that dough. China is the same, but instead it’s just one big extra shitty company.
Just watch the TikToks, nobody cares

You can maybe use mailinator or some other temporary email service to make an account. Or did they block those services?

I care. Short form video is extremely addictive. It’s dangerous to open it up, if you watch a second video you just end up in a doomscroll trance
