I Tried Out TikTok For 24 Hours. I Want My Time Back. By William Austin

Saturday 7 April 12:16pm – Incoming torture in 3, 2, 1, GOOOOOO! I jump into the deep end and start subjecting myself to 20 minutes of TikTok videos. And I’m bored. You see, TikTok is a social media app that allows users to post 1560 second creative videos. These people could be dancing, creating funny memes or just doing random challenges. What makes me sad is that TikTok is pretty similar to Vine. Which is also like Snapchat. And has a few similarities to Facebook stories too. In other words, TikTok reminds me of every other stinking social media app in existence. So I’m disappointed. But just like when AUT lecturers annoyingly refuse to put up the lecture slides before the lecture, I guess I’ve got to just put up with it for now.
