I installed it out of curiosity, and God damn, this is the worst form of social media yet. It seems like it’s designed to accomplish two things: keep me scrolling, and eventually make me depressed. It’s basically paralyzing to use.

I didn’t make an account, so I guess its a bit like looking at the front page of YouTube, which is also terrible. But out of all the social media I’ve used in my life tiktok seems like the worst because of how much it sucks you in, and the type of content on it. Runner up is Instagram, but I deleted my account there years ago and never looked back.

Call me a boomer or w/e, but this shit melts your brain even more than everything else already does.

    The CDC should be banning COVID, and if they go after TikTok instead then you know they’re acting as the state department.

      In an ideal world, they’d ban both.

      Actually, in an ideal world, a socialist or communist economy would be better able to deal with a pandemic and not create software designed to melt the brains of children so that they can be more susceptible to buying plastic trinkets.
