The Dark Side of TikTok: How It Changes the Way We Think and Behave

TikTok has changed the way billions of people consume content. But what happens when a platform becomes deeply connected to our attention, emotions, behavior, and the information we see every day? In this video, ABISSIA explores the hidden side of TikTok — from addictive viewing patterns and physical and mental health impacts, to extreme behavior, fake information, filter bubbles, and the data behind the algorithm. Rather than simply asking whether TikTok is good or bad, this video examines a broader question: What happens when attention becomes one of the most valuable resources on the internet? Through different examples and perspectives, we explore how the pursuit of attention shapes the way people create, consume, and interact with content. What do you think?
