Thoughts on tiktok?

[Sigma--]

Don't really like it because it's just easy, endless content. I'm already having trouble turning away from other Endless Scroller Sites, so why add more to the pile?

 

[sombrerosonic]

Dislike it, I think it's mostly people simping over killers


I prefer steam posts anyways

ah yes, the thing that gives you eye and brain cancer.

I do not watch tiktok but people send me tiktok videos for whatever reason, most of the stuff is useless crap and the other part is just fake info, like solving the cube with just 2 moves is not possible (and people annoy me when i am cubing about that.).

Cancer, like... whatever the predecessor was named, they're basically the same shitty app
It's text-to-speech voice thing it's the most aggravating thing humanty could've ever create

 

[BORTZ]

Nope it's Chinese keylogging and brainwashing software

I wonder how many of the people whom zealously said "no" use YouTube Shorts.

I wonder how many of the people whom zealously said "no" use YouTube Shorts.

On that note, is there some kind of Firefox addon that will automatically redirect you to the proper Youtube interface when you end up at a "Youtube short" one way or another?

I'm not opposed to short Youtube films on principle, but the limited interface is frustrating.

Vines was just better in every way its was pure comedy. Tiktok is just an excuse to sexualize memes to grab subs. However there a good amount of short clips, but I guess that depends on who you sub.

People get too mad at TikTok tbh.

trash

Things titok has done:
-Keeping voice prints from videos
-Taking down videos for their purpose only being LGBTQ+ videos
-Numerous security and personal safety concerns
-Manually editing posted videos to make the users look more “attractive”
-Political censorship (pretty common though)
-Sending user data to the Chinese government after promising that they did not and would not ever

And I'm not retyping this whole thing

So
...
C'mon
Ignorant children

If you look at there website they tell you WHAT they collect, as well as some new policy in china where they are legaly forced to hand over user data

I'll be honest - I like tik tok, and I watch it every day. But there are a lot of crazy things there, so I just try to filter my recommendations

 

[The Catboy]

I don't have the energy to have strong feels for, against, or anywhere near having an actual opinion on it.

I have an opinion now. It's worse than cancer.

 

[sombrerosonic]

Well, you definitely should try to download the TikTok application. In my opinion, this is an excellent application, especially if you want to promote your services/or product.

dude leget made a account for tic tok

I have an opinion now. It's worse than cancer.

I never want to touch that backdoor ever again

Literally every single one of the younger generation is always attached to TikTok, it's like they're being brainwashed for their own sanity. But really, TikTok is filled with a lot of cringe and offensive content that go past the radar, and I see why people get so mad about it.

I can tell that you're a TikTok user by the sounds of it.

Vines were the best form of entertainment that I would watch for hours on end.

I'm never installing that Chinese spyware cancerous app on any of my devices.

I keep getting those annoying TikTok ads when watching YT on my phone. Like, I don't want to download this shitty app.

Oh, and YouTube Shorts is also cancerous.

Oh, and YouTube Shorts is also cancerous.

That really depends though, I only scroll through the shorts that show up from who I'm subbed to, so my shorts are pretty cancer-free for the most part.

I don't like tiktok, but I'm not in their target demographic.

As for it's impact on society, I see it as negative, but I believe that people overestimate a lot on that. It is not exactally this app that is making people narcissist, less patient, dumb, mental ill and so on. It is the fucking internet as a whole. If tiktok never came to be, we would be facing the same problems anyway.
