Aside from that, there are very legitimate reasons not to use TikTok, most notably because it’s owned by a Chinese company, and all Chinese companies are owned by the CCP. Its been proven time and time again to be full of spyware.
And aside from all of that, every time I watch a video on there I’m left thinking “what the fuck did I just watch, and why does it have 50M views?”.
Also vertical videos are ass. And now they even have side by side vertical reaction videos which are like 3x ass.
So yeah, there’s no shortage of reasons to avoid TikTok.
Right, China Knowing my viewing habits is the end of the world. They will also radicalize me. Old man is too cool for the content.
You know what shows up on my feed? Cars, CNN, ABC movie clips, and cooking. The same exact shit I get on Reddit, Instagram, and my RSS before it died. If you have actually used Tiktok for more then 5 minutes and that’s all you see, then that’s on you. The algorithm is quite spot on for every user I know.
China Knowing my viewing habits is the end of the world.
China knowing your personal viewing habits is inconsequential. China having a database of the viewing habits of billions of users around the world, and injecting propaganda to manipulate the general populace is a completely different story. In case you haven’t heard, the world is being run by disinformation. When you use TikTok, you contribute to that.
If you have actually used Tiktok for more then 5 minutes and that’s all you see, then that’s on you.
If someone starts sticking their finger up your ass, how long should you endure that before you decide you don’t like it? And why?
