Booktok was fun at first simply for the novelty of it but like after months on that algorithm like. Half of the content is just people reducing books to tropes and being like "here are books with this trope" or "what are books with this trope???" or "we need more books with this trope1!!1!" Like oh my GOD I'm taking the word trope away from y'all and putting it up on the shelf. Not bc ur using it wrong but bc ur being fucking annoying about it now

#what a consumerist way of talking about books too #the way booktok talks about books makes me think they should just replace all of KU with ai generated content #i dont even think theyd be able to tell the difference LOL #yea sorry that was mean but like. once the shiny sparkly newness of booktok wore off i realized how ridiculous the whole thing is #not to mention how the algorithm just feeds u the same handful of books every time #like tiktok. please. ive never liked a single tt about acotar and i scroll away immediately why is this the only book u want me to see #anyways rant over lmao #i feel bad for being a hater but booktok has to be the one of the WORST book communities on the internet #tiktok is just Not It can we go back to the forums pls im begging yall
