I like shorts. Things like "DNS in 30 seconds."

It's not the format or the platform that turns me away, it's the content. I don't care about people twerking in the street or "kid drinks coke with mentos."

I mean that's kind of the one thing TikTok has going for it; it's algorithm is very good at quickly adapting to what type of content you like. There's plenty of IT/tech content on there, it just takes liking a few videos about a topic beforeyour feed adjusts. I havent seen "people twerking in the street" or "kid drinks coke with mentos" videos since basically the first time I opened the app.

Lol maybe it's because every time I open the app I uninstall it. Kidding. I did see some absolutely incredible ways of teaching and learning math that made me utterly furious at the American education system. We teach academic subjects in the absolutely dumbest way possible. I learned that on Tiktok.
