The Most Entertaining Takes From TikTok This Week (April 29, 2025)

It could be argued that TikTok is a kind of social media platform that would have had to be invented if it hadn't existed already. The people of today simply have too strong a longing to contribute to the creator economy and be internet personalities for them to be stuck with all the other options for online fame that we already have. As it stands, what a gift it is to the distracting powers of the internet that we have had it for so long. There are even more individuals giving us even more wild stories and relatable tidbits for us to enjoy in the grand scheme of our daily doomscroll, and the only thing they require from us is our temporary attention. Go ahead and give it to them—even if you happen to be opposed to TikTok as a concept, you will not be inflating any view counts here.
