I view TT as a platform, not a source as a whole. There are absolutely great sources of news on TT. And honestly, I’d rather have one good quality source that can get me a daily rundown of headlines in a 3 minute or less video than spend hours watching headlines like you would on a 24 hour news channel.
yes, same. I am way north of being teenager, but after reddit crapped out, my social media usage is like 80% tiktok and the rest lemmy.
Also have lost any trust i had left in the BBC, with their targeted hate campaigns against minorities and constant right wing grift. So i rather follow few serious creators on TikTok than any professional journalist from the mainstream British press.
