tiktok will replace google

i am part of gen-z, i know many people who are gen-z, i've seen it first hand kids (10-25yo) explicitly saying that they'll look up their question on tiktok instead of google because they get better information

Looking things up on tiktok today feels like the equivalent of looking things up on Wikipedia when I was in high school. Looked down upon but probably more accurate than anything else. (I don’t use tiktok so can’t confirm the accuracy)

I’m agreeing. Maybe my oldness is showing here 😂. In the early 2000s, encyclopedias were the approved, legacy way of looking up relevant material. Wikipedia was what the younger population turned to instead. Feels similar.

i'm specifically referencing relative things like people's experiences, when young people want to know what something is like, they'll search it on tiktok (instead of google)
