That's exactly what it was like for me. I played with it for a couple of months. I had a tendency to frown at, SMDH at, rubberneck some dumb videos for a half second too long it seems. That magical FYP of great stuff never happened for me. I got like 70% stuff that makes me... huh, I don't know what the emotion is, but it's negative. Irked maybe.

At any rate I ultimately decided I absolutely do not need any part of TikTok in my life.
