No matter what this 40 year old boomer ass Lemmy user base says, TikTok is amazing and some people are doing some really incredible things on it. You should give it a shot.
yeah, let me just have all my data leaked one day, address, name, photos, card details, passwords, my own and foreign governments can have that data too just for the extra cherry on top. let them also profile me across the internet so I can be stalked even easier, what a great idea.
some people don’t want to be tracked, have their data trained on ai, have their data leaked and sold on the dark web, have their accounts compromised. they might even require it for work or in general to not literally fucking die or lose their job as well
This. I use tiktok more than I like, and it’s extremely easy to watch an hour or two. Thing is, when you get done, try to remember even like 3% of what you watched.
If you’re watching nothing but 15 second TikTok’s, your algorithm is saying you’re a fucking idiot. And I’d have to probably agree based off what you’re saying here.
So you literally have no idea what it is and what it’s about, but here you are running your little mouth. Weren’t you raised better than believing what you hear when you easily have the ability to see what it’s about yourself? You don’t sound too bright.
I know what TikTok is and what it is about. That’s why I choose not to use it. You are bright enough to realize that clips from TikTok are posted in other places on the web, right? I’ve never used crack cocaine either, but I know what it is and what it is about.
TikTok is literally designed to psychologically manipulate teenagers and you fell for it. You sound mad about it, too. Hope it doesn’t rot your brain too much before you figure it out, but that doesn’t sound likely from your replies.
Ya, because most of Lemmy userbase is from Reddit, the “American” website that bullied a kid into killing themselves, because they were “helping” find the boston bomber.
I don’t use tiktok or any other shit social media like that. I had reddit for the communities and now this place for the same reason…which it’s mainly memes at best. Using tiktok makes you a fucking idiot…
I don’t use TikTok. Is that bad?
No. Just look at what friends share with a VPN up in-browser. You’ll get all the cultural context you’ll need lol

I’ll skip on the China spyware. But thanks.
But the crap going to Saudia Arabia is better? Or to private corps? They all do it, and they all need to be stopped.
China can’t really do anything to me personally, us is a much bigger threat.
What is China going to do to you?
You should be only worried about all the western spyware your balls are deep in.

Nah I’d rather keep the influence on my country be as close to 1/3rd all around between the 3 big super powers.
What’s the reason though? If you don’t want to “willingly serve up all your data” if it results in literally nothing, why?

Western spyware we agree to willingly in agreements that openly state that your information will be collected.
The problem with TikTok was that they were found to collect more information than they explained in their user agreement.
Show proof. Stop pulling shit out of your ass because some Redditor said something.

You can literally search “TikTok data”
They said Virginia and Singapore, then whoops, it’s actually not
So they didn’t “collect more information than they explained in their user agreement.” You just made that up.
The creators are great but the company is a liability.
Don’t you feel your brain rotting and your attention span waning from all of the 15 second hits of dopamine being shoved into your face?
TikTok is not good for your mental well-being.

Tik tok has had 10min video for quite a while

I don’t use TikTok at all and never have. You are the fucking idiot who got hooked on a dopamine drip simulator.

Eat tide pods and steal kias. Incredible things

If that’s what you get on your feed, I hate to break it to you… you might be a fucking idiot.

Cool ageism.
L take, content creator good, company and app very bad, big no no. and this I’d coming from a tiktok user (unfortunately)
I used TikTok once. Three hours later I didn’t realize that it was already midnight. Uninstalled immediately. Never again.
