TikTok Brain is real, according to a Wall Street Journal story on how TikTok impacts our minds. Though a lot of people consider age-inappropriate content a major concern, there are several effects of it.

TikTok's basic nature is harmful to young teenagers in particular. They have growing minds that are very pliable.

Their cerebral pathways are always growing as a result of what they are doing. And the 60s of TikTok videos have made them divide their life in the 60s. 

Long durations of TikTok viewing can have a bad impact on your short-term memory, attention, and focus. Research even reveals hints of early-onset memory loss and a problem of ADHD. 

When we're using phones, we're usually not entirely aware of our surroundings and give our phones our undivided focus. You are completely unaware of what is going on in your internal and external world when viewing a TikTok video.

Forbes just published an article describing TikTok as "digital cocaine." According to Koetsier, when you use the app and watch a video that attracts your attention, your brain receives a dopamine surge.

Users are continually receiving dopamine from each video and do not want to quit. We get dopamine from a few wonderful films, then experience a dip of excitement with a few unrelated videos, and then we get a spike from another pleasant video.

They likened the app to a slot machine, with its continual highs and lows. The mere anticipation excites us both physically and intellectually.

TikTok increases the likelihood of sleeplessness and anxiety.

According to Communicatingpsycological science, TikTok has the potential to be extremely impactful.

They feature advertisements, much like many other social networking applications, telling you to buy their things, and you occasionally give in.

However, because TikTok is so personalized to you, you don't get to see the other aspects of TikTok or other people's opinions, interests, or perspectives.

This is similar to the concept of priming in psychology, which is when you are persuaded to form perceptions or sentiments about concepts.

The TikTok brain influences our children's minds in a multitude of ways. Let's start by understanding how TikTok works.

The TikTok algorithm curates material for an individual's feed based on previous searches and interests. It "learns" what each user is interested in and provides them with more of it over time, making us addicted to the platform.

the previous arc I tried to read I got 10% in and was like “disrespectfully, no ❤️” and now I’m reading For the Throne arc and liking it better but I really need to uninstall TikTok app it’s rotting my brain

Another is the dopamine rush that we experience with each video and can't seem to get enough of. According to Forbes, "You'll just get carried away in this wonderful pleasure state."

"It's almost fascinating, and you'll find yourself watching and watching."

Kristen Hatton suggested an algorithm for TikTok by giving an example of a middle school girl who is wondering about her sexual identity. The girl is too embarrassed to ask her parents or a friend, so she resorts to TikTok to quench her curiosity.

But, before you know it, her feed is flooded with progressive post-modern sexuality information. There is no other view available. Even if she searches for other topics, TikTok has already decided she will continue to receive this material.

She calls it foolish to consider TikTok as innocuous music videos and useful instructions.

TikTok Bran is the report published by Wall Street Journal which explains the algorithm on how TikTok works. The report is based on a candid and illuminating document for corporate workers.

It reveals fresh insights into how the world's most popular video app was created.  TikTok's technical team in Beijing created the paper, titled "TikTok Algo 101."

This stuff is literally brain rotting content and giving kids ADHD and all kinds of problems. Just like TikTok and YouTube shorts. It's all killing society slowly as kids just watch this crap all day from ages 2-18. Just spastic nothing videos overstimulating unformed minds.

Hilary McQuaide, a corporate spokesperson, acknowledged its legitimacy and stated that it was designed to illustrate how the algorithm works to non-technical personnel. 

Along with its mathematical core, the report provides an insight into the company's understanding of human nature. Our tendencies toward boredom, and our sensitivity to cultural cues helps explain why it's so difficult to put down.

The paper also reveals the corporation's seamless relationship with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, at length.
