Because no one traches them well what to do and believe.

Social media education and a critica view of the Web is still much behind the current state of social media.

TikTok is the last place I'll go check for any serious advice. Just opening the app is spamming me with horrible cringe content.

And the rest are very much unreliable. There are some serious creators, but they are coming from other platforms with reputation.

The other TikTok only creators may as well be false content until verified.
