    The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.

    Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.

    I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.

    There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.

    I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.
