ok damn that actually sucks if your friends chose a social media app over you but it's not good to generalize the whole app being just low quality dances lol
also, i'm just going to say that hating tiktok doesn't make this platform special, in fact a ton of platforms hate tiktok and they all think they are special because they collectively think that they are some unique group that wars against the "normies." (for example, reddit or instagram). the truth is though, if individuality is what you're seeking you shouldn't follow a hivemind that hates on a social media app
