It’s not about seeing kids on the platform. It’s about short form content, short attention spans, and shallow takes. I don’t think the idea of maturity breeding patience and interest in deeper levels of understanding of topics is all that controversial.
Many people do not live up to this level of maturity that you seem to expect of them. And many others can’t beat the dopamine and quick gratification that tiktok provides. As such, tiktok attracts people of all ages and associating it with kids is, and has been for a while, an outdated view, only held by people who don’t actually engage with the platform.
Outdated views and disconnection from present reality is represented by the old man screaming at clouds meme.
I tried using Tik Tok, and just spent more time searching for full sources to what I saw than I spent in the actual app. It was deleted long ago because I think it’s rather crap for content, however that is just my opinion.
