Over the past weeks I have been analyzing TikTok, reading research papers and anything else I could find on the topic and writing about my findings.

Then I condensed it into a massive blog post: https://medium.com/@jonathanmichaelson/this-is-your-brain-on-tiktok-8415583446eb

This is the final verdict - Things could change, but as it stands TikTok is mostly an addictive and damaging waste of time, it invades our informational privacy like nothing else, hosts twisted and dangerous trends and as a fringe benefit using it regularly makes us dumber and more distracted in day-to-day life.

Oh and it includes a chapter about the Synthesizers where I used the meme made by Christian Vandaos, thanks bro!
