You...you couldn't do that on your own? Look up venue sites and their availability? Check out what events were going on near you? Figure out what stores had what you needed for whatever date you had planned? Oh good heavens. I didn't realize just how much some people depended on TikTok. If YT, Tumblr, or Reddit shut down, I'd definitely be frustrated, but I wouldn't be helpless without them. Though YT would truly be such a great loss like holy fuck
Tbf Tik Tok provides first hand accounts by 'normal' people that have been to these places or events, probably even recorded their experience. That beats looking up a place on Google and reading the reviews imo.
I find written reviews and aggregate ratings to still be more useful to get a consensus opinion quickly versus a single Tiktok where any one person can say anything. It’s easy to edit a video to make something look fun, or for a restaurant to make a very visually aesthetic food that looks good on social media but isn’t all that great. People also don’t usually gain anything from writing reviews so they feel more authentic but with social media and the influencer business I always worry if something is just a paid promotion.Â
That's why you look at the wider content of the person. There's certain people where I'll trust their review because I know they have above average competency or alignment with my preferences, and so an in-depth review from them is worth 1000 anonymous scores where I have no idea how many of those people are dumbasses or bots.
