There is an interesting social media phenomenon I noticed recently, I will call this the TikTokization of the world. There is a random eye catching snippet of video that is shared by a lot of people. Detailed commentaries are made about it. Battlegrounds are drawn. All for what?
I don’t get it. At some point, my entire timeline that Twitter throws at me will be filled by these discussions.
I still don’t get it.
Okay, we can make one snarky comment about a stupid video and move on. But why this sociological analysis, political philosophy and so on!?

I feel like people’s attention spans are so short-circuited by these dumb social media that they have come to believe that TikTok (or something like that) is the real world. Nobody has patience to read a book, or discuss things from multiple perspectives, and learn about things.
I try to avoid jumping on these crazy memes. But sometimes, one cannot avoid it. 😁 I hope we will get a more sensible social media soon. If this goes on for a few more years, our attention spans will not last even TikTok.
