What's your opinion on TikTok?

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

It's garbage to me

[NW/RL]

Chinese psyop to lower American attention spans. Not joking either, the algorithms used for TikTok in China and America are different: The Chinese algorithm promotes STEM, Chinese patriotism, and being a model citizen; The American algorithm is just never ending slop

[Felonious Punk]

The medium is the message.

[Awaken]

TikTok is psychological warfare against western countries. The Chinese version is educational and highly censored. The version they give you is designed to be addictive in short bursts and contains very little substance.

Sanitize your links bro

Tiktok feel like a giant waste of time, at least youtube allow you to access some pretty good stuff, to learn some things. But Tiktok ? Too short, too sterile, I just don't see the point about it, I see how it can appeal to some, especially childrens, but as an adult I see no value in it at all.

Complete garbage. Nothing on it is even remotely funny or entertaining. What's worse it has breeded a generation of idiots who chase TikTok fame dancing like morons in public.

It's also owned by the Chinese gov't. That's another reason never to download it.

Chinese or American... What's the difference?

Like all social media, it has to be made illegal to use.

Same can be said about YouTube, I believe thinking is some sort of "psychological warfare" is pure bs to excuse bad habits and bad parenting.

I don't use TikTok but I follow people who post things about space or science which also post on TikTok, they key, as in any other social media is curate your content and ingore the bs

I Dunno about that buddy. Sure, I fully think children should be limited or even not allowed to be on social media, but I don't think social media in general should be banned. Tik Tok can be banned though its Chinese propaganda.

Never been on tiktok but couldn't we use the money it would take to enforce a ban to create a US equivilent that's propaganda instead of telling people what they can and can't do?

Im not going to discredit your thought but we already have US propaganda it's called modern news agencies.
