I never liked the stigma that people on tiktok have of expecting everyone to do right 24/7 because it's incredibly unrealistic and downright inhumane to think that someone isn't capable of doing something fucked up. We live in a world where if someone makes a mistake or a small slip up then it'll be complete wraps for you. The worst part is that majority of people on tik tok have some weird parasocial behavior when it comes to these micro-celebs. It's this weird curated mindset of "well if everyone is hating on them, then so am I" or "If everyone loves them, then I will too" it's like no one can form their own opinion out of fear of being outcasted or being replied with a dumb sticker lol
Tiktok collectively sees people online as all good or all bad and there's no inbetween. There is no grey area where good and bad can co-exist. Isn't that so inhumane? But I guess thats what influencers sign up for. To be judged and ridiculed by people who don't know them and if people like them great! if people don't then they might seriously dox you or completely mischaracterize you for the sake of having a "good take" on a situation. lol social media is so fucking pathetic.

TikTokers are just straight up clones of each other, lol. It's like as soon as they see an opinion being made or any other new trend they have to hop on the bandwagon. Most unoriginal, derivative people I have ever seen. Nobody can form their own opinions anymore without relying on another biased source due to TikTok.
"the bandwagon effect" they spam it while not knowing what does it mean

tiktok users in general are allergic to making their own opinions and thoughts on something, even if it goes against certain people's ideas, BECAUSE IT'S WHAT THEY CONCLUDED FROM THE THING THEY MADE THEIR OPINION ON
No literally, they'll only form a soild opinion AFTER seeing the most popular one. People on tiktok are straight up sheeps

this is one of the reasons I wanna be gone from that app
I feel like those people form a safe and decent opinion that others can use it, even if they see that thing with other eyes
they have popular opinions because that's what attracts new people: a relatable idea
unauthentic and plagiarised, but a relatable one

OMG YES! They literally form a DIGESTIBLE opinion rather than a real curated one. Its really dystopian.
