    I never used it because of the Chinese government affiliation. I’d feel even less inclined to use it with maga affiliation.

      It being outside of the United States and outside of United States control was an absolute benefit for me, What was your reason for hating it while it was under Chinese control?

        Trump creams in his pants thinking about having the control the Chinese government has.

          Yeah, but it isn’t under American control, which is the most important part, or at least it was. Anyways, I’m not going to keep badgering you to try to convince you to get on it, but I would also admonish you for not at least giving it 30 minutes of your time when you were bored just to screw around with it before you wrote it off completely

    Sure, it’ll just kill the app in the US because fascists lack any creativity so it’ll become a stale echo chamber before people just leave

            Bro. You’re just a weird weird little Imp here, Are you hoping to trigger people, is that all that gets you off these days? Is that the only way you can cum.

              I’m not even the first guy. Tik Tok is a mess and if it dies that’s probably not the worst thing. Ot sure what your deal is.

                  I didn’t edit anything, bud.

                  Edit: Here, I’ll even edit this one incase your platform shows that information but you’ve just never seen it before.

      I used to be like you I used to think it was just full of young kids doing silly dances, turns out a lot of information doesn’t really need more than two or three minutes to explain it and everything else is fluff so yeah, it’s a great place. I don’t know where this hate comes from.

        Short form video is the single best propaganda machine there is. You don’t get context, so it’s easy to manipulate events. Also, for some reason, people really fall for the “authority” of some rando talking into a camera like they know what the hell they’re talking about.

        Every time somebody shows me a TikTok video as a reference or to make a point, the information is either fake or completely incorrect.

        Not to mention, The algorithm feeds you more of these talking heads and makes you think it’s the general consensus

          These are all good points, but I fact check and I don’t fall for stupid easily shareable meme bullshit, everybody’s algorithm is their own so yeah echo chambers are easy to get into but it’s mostly just slice of life type content. That’s the really good stuff

        Then why not write a blog? I hate videos if Im looking for information, give me something I can scan and digest properly.

          Yeah, I get it different people learn differently, but the search function on TikTok is pretty good. They got a good algorithm behind it, don’t just write it off, at least fuck around with it before you throw it in the trash, please I’m begging you. You only have to give it about 10 minutes before the algorithm starts getting in its groove and that would be a good time before it’s an under American control just to look at what it was
