This was the first thing I've ever read or seen that made me want to try TikTok.
> TikTok should not be banned for fear of Chinese espionage. TikTok should be banned for being stupid on a massive scale.

I feel like I would get more out of these TikTok videos than I did from this article.

What a bore. I'm not a fan of TikTok, but being stupid is the whole point – and pretending that everything you spend your time on has to have some "value" it's one of the stupidest habits of people who want to be smart I've ever seen. Human life is absurd and pointless, you die anyway and everything you do will disappear into the void: just let yourself have some stupid fun in-between pointlessly hauling the boulder back up, for hell's sake.
What a horrible article.

How was your review of Wine?

What about triller, musical.ly or reels?

Or giphy. Nothing but short clips on repeat.

There is no comparison to be made between TikTok and those platforms on the grounds of the combination of popularity and emotional retardation.
TikTok is a cultural cancer (along with OnlyFans and a few other apps) which will end up destroying society. The spyware component of it is just gravy.
By what measure? Most video games seem far worse to me.
After spending some time in TikTok same thing happen to me as it happen to Penny from TBBT episode https://bigbangtheory.fandom.com/wiki/The_Barbarian_Sublimat... .

"In the final scene, Penny's character meets Howard's character in the game and she agrees to go on a quest followed by a drink at a tavern. It's then scared Penny realizes she needs help and tosses her laptop away."
