Hell On Earth: 20% Of Americans Get Their “News” On TikTok
Truly the most brain dead population in the history of mankind. Via Pew Research Center:
A fifth of U.S. adults now regularly get news on TikTok, up from just 3% in 2020. In fact, during that span, no social media platform we’ve studied has experienced faster growth in news consumption, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. TikTok is primarily known for short-form video sharing and is especially popular among teens – 63% of whom report ever using the platform. But it has also become a popular news source for young adults. In our new survey, 43% of adults under 30 say they regularly get news there, up from 9% in 2020.
