There are people who use TikTok as their main search engine..

Is it really that different than using google and adding "reddit" in your searches? Both are user driven sites that usually give access to legitimate content instead of seo trash.

What in the fuck? How? By using joe blows tiktok post as an answer to a question?

That takes some deep hashtag knowledge

i remember when i was big into tumblr there were a lot of people using that as their only source of information on the internet. that's the issue here, not tiktok in itself.
