Forums force it's users to be creative while things like tiktok and reddit just gives it away from the beginning.

I hate both TikTok and reddit, as it is just too much junk being shot in your face.
I don't use TikTok at all and Reddit only to keep up on ASrock bios updates.

I dislike grumpy old fart takes. This reeks of it.

I love reddit due to its sheer size and content contained within. Great for PC nerds too. I haven't bothered with tiktok but I ain't a hater either.

I like 'em all.

TikTok = installing an "info pipeline" directly to/from the Chinese government straight from the device that very likely knows more about you than you do yourself. (ie: your smartphone)

It is of course your decision re: the value you place on your personal data but far as I'm concerned only the type of "sucker" PT Barnum had in mind when he quipped "one born every minute" would even consider doing so.

Reddit's biggest issue is the "needle in a haystack" problem of actually finding what you're looking for in that disorganized mess.... at least it's useful though!

Honestly... I don't even fully grasp the hypothesis being put forth in the thread title. TikTok isn't even directly comparable as it's primarily a stream of videos. But what does it mean to say "Reddit gives it away from the beginning", in comparison to a forum?

Yeah, don't understand the claim being made. Gives _what_ away from the beginning of _what_?
And "creative" in what way?

(And there's an extraneous apostrophe in the title, and shouldn't that be "their" rather than "its" in any case, given you refer to forums in the plural?).

Not that I've ever used tiktok or Reddit.

TikTok just helped a woman who was ghosted by her husband right after giving birth to their second child. She been trying to serve him divorce papers and he just bailed, changed his number and literally disappeared. Ghosted. Within 24 hours the social media detective group powered by girl power has tracked him down to near Dallas!

Based solely on the OP's premise...and the crap he's posted...he should stick to reddit and tiktok...because he doesn't have any creativity or talent.

Remember when he got high and posted videos of himself reading ATOT posts out loud?

Wonder why TikTok users don't seem to have a concern for Chinese spying? They should be the first to demand its sale

So what you're saying is Reddit is a slut but ATF is the kind of website you take home to mom and dad?

Edit: But then 10 years into what you thought was a happy marriage she 504 errors you and stops putting out.
