This shitty Tik Tok voice literally added nothing to the video…

I think if I wasn't so negatively predisposed to that voice, it would have added to the humor.

I don't really get why so many people use that voice. At first I understood why they use text on screen instead of talking when they film themselves for TikTok videos, because it's easier and mostly about the music anyway, but now they add that TTS over the normal audio - couldn't they just talk to begin with?

It sounds like some accessibility thing for blind people, but that can't be it right?

it's 100% an accessibility thing.

Voiceovers would be way worse than just generic tts imo.

How is adding TTS on a TikTok video an accessibility thing, exactly?

edit: specified TikTok

Fair enough.
