Even if TikTok doesn't get banned in the US next year, it'll still be far from the zone-out place it once was.
For months I have “taught” TikTok to serve me this content: people, usually dudes, building shelters by hand in the wilderness. Most of them are ultra-sped-up timelapses that start with a hole in the ground, an axe, and a pile of wood. Once, I watched a guy build a hobbit hole that looked like the, uh, entrance to a Dune sandworm. I landed on cabin-in-the-woods TikTok by way of outdoor-cast-iron-cooking TikTok, and I never want to leave. Of course, I might have to.
While it’s still largely a platform for pop culture junk food and lip-sync videos, a growing number of Americans use TikTok as a new source. Since 2020, the share of adults who regularly get news from the platform has increased from 3 percent to 17 percent, according to Pew Research Center. “No social media platform we’ve studied has seen faster growth” in news, the study’s authors wrote.
