Tiktok / Booktok / Fandom spaces
So I’ve seen a lot of people complain (rightfully so) about how Tiktok is ruining fandom and my little take on this is that I’ve just blocked the tags I don’t want to see?
Because 1, for transparency's sake, I do make money off tiktok (very little, but I like to be able to to afford that extra egg in my ramen, thank you tiktok)
2, I actually really like it. I get to watch people take care of dogs and funny skits and it’s a vibe when I want to just lay in bed and think about the fact I’m not living my life but watching others live it for me.
Anyway my point is do people know you can block hashtags so you don’t have to see it? (You can also do this with Tumblr and I've used that as well).
Under content and display go to content preferences. Here you will see filter video keywords. Tap the button add keyword, enter a keyword you want to block.
Bam your experience has just been catered.
I understand that it’s not ideal but ya gotta do what you gotta do.
I am going to keep watching my ASMR dog videos AND enjoy my fandom experience I hope this helps anyone who cares love and light bye.
The downside is I never know what drama is happening but on the upside, I don't want to know I just want to have a good time in my little space, because this is social media, not real life. I battle enough as it is in real life, I don't want to battle in my happy bubble.
