The neverending hooks into eyeballs aspect of #TikTok is utterly repellent to me. Keep that addictive zombifying surveillance crap away, please.

Especially awful is the auto-playing video, and the brain-button-mashing attention-grabbing insistence of them.

This project is much more appealing:

“#WikiTok[…], feeds visitors a random list of Wikipedia articles—culled from the Wikipedia API—into a vertically scrolling interface.

“a New York-based #AppDeveloper named #IsaacGemal debuted a new site called WikiTok, where users can vertically swipe through an endless stream of Wikipedia article stubs in a manner similar to the interface for video-sharing app TikTok.”
