Tiktok is kinda...eh in my opinion. There are good spots, but there's also a lot of stuff that starts from there that is very not okay ^^' (devious licks, that stupid rollercoaster trend, etc etc)
Also the Terms and Conditions on data gathering are worrying to say the least, since they monitor more than they reasonably need to know -
I require a highly concentrated dose of cat videos. As long as something else can fill that space in my life I do not care what happens to TikTok.

I mean there's YouTube shorts now so TikTok has sorta faded out of my mind, although YouTube better give me my dislike button back -
Nvmd, I found the sketchy bs the government is pushing for. Vague language used in the bill leaving room for interpretation of banning vpns and prosecuting people for using them. It also gives the government room to go after anyone they think is using any technology to "sabotage" the greater good of America, whatever that means.
"omg. We'd never do that. That's not our intention at all!"
Lol ok govt, I trust you won't screw over Americans. You'd never do that. It's like the just say gay bill, right? Just a harmless lil measure to protect americans-- oh wait.... -

Yup there it is. Couldn't figure out how to say it without accidentally giving misinformation. -
I haven't said anything because I'm incredibly biased against tiktok.
-
Care to explain why? I'd like to hear about it.

Not even getting into specific situations, unless something changed, the art community ALONE is so damn toxic you need a hazmat suit to go anywhere near it.
First one that comes to mind was the Croaket drama, a 17-year old artist (at the time) who got harassed by a f--- ton of people because they didn't like their artstyle (they put eyes higher up on the head than most people). They even had to put up with faked/heavily edited screenshots that were used to accuse them of bigotry.
And I don't even have the energy to talk about the scumbag "SpIrIt MeDiUmS" -
That and i just don't like app in general.
-
I've never heard about that, but I haven't been on artist tik tok in a while, so I can't say much.
To be fair, I'm not a big fan of the app either, mostly because the app has given me constant cycles of anxiety and depression because all of the stuff on my fyp is just...doomsday. constantly. it's getting better, since I'm getting back onto editor tik tok slowly, but I still have to search up stuff just so that I don't see any of the stuff on my fyp. -
ah.
personally, i would just stick with youtube. Yea, algorithm's s--- but i'm pretty sure it's better than tiktok. -
Bleh, the youtube algorithm sucks ass. I haven't bothered with their shorts because of it. My recommended page is alright, but it still sucks.
-
i think it's just too potent.
I got a few family guy shorts and i s--- you not it started sending me them like crazy. -
Guys omg China is slipping in Resident Evil Leon fancams on my fyp as a way of indoctrinating me into Chinese propaganda and enslaving my mind to the ways of the Chinese through it😰😰😰😰
-
Who cares if tick tock was made in China? Ticktock is banned in China anyway so....
