The success of Tik Tok is the relentless spam feed of "next of the same", to keep you locked in and tapping. Get sucked in on "not watching anything" until the algorithm slowly steers you towards the elicitating mind melt.

              Finally some good news, it's time to put that TikTok frenzy to an end. That's a Chinese app for Chinese people, the rest of the world has Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook Twitter amd all the others doesn't need TikTok too.

                Maybe it's better this way. I have not liked TikTok for a long time, even before I knew it was owned by a Chinese company, so no big loss for me. Others may not feel that way, though.

                Let's minimize the tracking software!

                  Tiktok is cancer but bigger one is US that DEMAND companies to give them user data for free :D

                    Anonymous, 26 Apr 2024US companies collect data to make money off of you, that’s ... moreBoth countries can use the data for similar reasons. You don't know how bad the US people are, neither do I. There are far worse people like gangsters and stuff in Brazil/South America, corrupt politicians and stuff in South Asia like in Pakistan or India and you're telling me I should be scared of some random Chinese data collecting firm? These people actually kidnap people, some people in my country got kidnapped by the government because they said negative stuff about it, no one knows where they are now. So please, don't spout nonsense like this when real stuff is actually happening.

                      Mentioning certain square can lead you banned in tiktok.

                        I’ll believe that when I see it.

Yes, the TikTok algorithm can be manipulated to show the user what the US govt wants them to see and then it won't be any different to the other streaming services in the US.
