Tik Tok is the absolute best app, IMHO, for discovering new content.
Most apps are based on who and what you follow, which tik tok has as anything else.
But you just scroll the For You Page and youre just taken for a journey. And while its really good at figuring out what you like so your feed will customize to your interests, it still throws new things at you.
Personally I couldnt give two shits if theyre stealing my data because it makes absolutely no difference to me. Every single app and site now is Doing this shit for what? Target ads at me? Aight. Im really not buying shit online but if you try, never know might see something I actually want.
