Comment Section for ¿Ha comenzado la fatiga de TikTok? - The New York Times

This New York Times article, written by Jon Caramanica, discusses the changing dynamics of TikTok. The author points out that the platform's shift towards monetization, with the introduction of its shopping platform, has transformed even small creators into salespeople, leading to a degradation of user experience. The article also highlights how the platform's potential to discover new music and trends has diminished, affecting its deep connection with the entertainment industry. Furthermore, the author critiques TikTok's personalization algorithm, which increasingly narrows down content based on users' preferences, making the infinite-scrolling format feel finite. The author also observes that the saturation of content and creators makes it more challenging for individuals to stand out. The article concludes with the author's personal experiment of creating a new account to escape the algorithm's personalized recommendations, but he finds the generic content served to a new user devoid of charm and quickly reverts to his old account.
