I don't use tiktok so I have no idea what they post about on there. You would do the same (not use tiktok) if you were smart.

It's basically the decision between the 2 positions that were around in the early Harry Potter days:
>it gets young people to read at all, which is good
>it gets young people to read trash, which is bad
You decide (not saying HP is garbage btw, but that was the debate)

The question is what they'd do with their time otherwise, and the answer is probably social media and slop in other mediums like videogames and streaming shows

That’s gay as fuck dude. What’s the appeal in these faggoty academy shits where people are separated Epsilone Alpha style like in Harry Potter creating different class structures based of your personality? It’s creating tribalism within its lore and really it’s just corny as fuck. How much sense of belonging do people really need? May I remind you that this is a literature board, no room for some low IQ pansy fru-fru shit, Faggot.

I'll never get used to watching tiktoks. Everyone on that app is obnoxious and loud. Don't care if that makes me "an old fart".

>> No.23307182

what's even the point? if you're on tiktok you lack the attention span to read books. why would you get a book based on a tiktok recommendation? to decorate your shelf?
