TikTok is not just for kids!

It occurs to me that a lot of adults and older adults like myself might think TikTok is just for kids.
But honestly it is not ! There are lots of people 40 and older posting interesting videos on there.
I was following a nurse who would talk about her experiences with covid and I followed a young woman who would talk about the latest political news while also talking about her fight with cancer. I follow someone who was in prison for years and tells people what it was like.
There's also a lot of videos on there showing protests in Iran. Also quite a lot of people who talk about mental illness and I've learned what it's like from someone who has various struggles first hand.
It's really quite something.

Now I know lately some people in Congress wanted to ban TikTok but I don't want to talk about politics at all plus I'm sure political debate isn't allowed here.

    @Melancholy you are quite right TikTok is definitely not just for kids. Lots of great stuff on there.

    I got into Tik Tok about 16 mo ago after ending a relationship. I was taking it hard and heavily got into it to pass the time and keep my thoughts occupied on non serious stuff . Def got me over the hump til I could be alone with my thoughts again

    I have been on TikTok before it was TikTok. I would say not only is it not just for kids, but I’d be very cautious of having kids on it. It’s a very fun app though, despite the whole being-spied-on thing 🙄

    I stay far away from it. I find YouTube is sufficient for that.

    Instagram + FB reels is a better option for me imo
