tiktokracy

(1) A society living under the late-stage hegemonic rule of social media, which has been reduced to its most ridiculous, suspect, unverified, and useless form -- i.e., an endless individualized algorithmic feed of short, often obnoxious, assertion-filled videos created by random persons one does not know nor has any reason to believe or trust.

(2) A society experiencing a rapid erosion of veracity and rigor, and an explosion of inattention and confirmation bias.
As the country has slid further and further into its tiktocracy phase, it has become more and more difficult to know what is important, what is factual, who any of these people yelling shit at me from my phone are, let alone why I should care what they have to say or what stupid shit they do.

Is it just me, or does living in this tiktokracy make us stupider by the second?
