There are A LOT of reasons why TikTok may be the worst social media site out there. None of them are exactly good, but TT seems to be particularly bad.

no...unless you have some concrete evidence on that. they are ALL as equally crappy. 

*and as this post and articles prove...i would say twi-er....X is the absolute worse of all time. 

i really don't know why tic tok is getting a shitty deal, OTHER than the Xtreme far right said so.

The far right liked to make fun of the most extreme of liberals and apply those TikToks to the entire progressive movement. More culture war smoke and mirrors bullshit

i used to catch their show on the smart tv channel. but it' been a minute.

funny, all the things we discovered and embraced during covid, are now like 'the whaaa?'

I catch it on Samsung+ but they fucked up the network. Idk who’s responsible for placing commercials but as of today shit is getting cut off for ads and it sucks they used to coincide with actual breaks but now mid sentence it cuts the anchors off to never return to where they really left off.

Well for starters TikTok is owned by China and the CCP has mandated a back-door into the program so that they can access the data at any time. That is a HUGE problem. Yes, its not great that Facebook and other social media sites here access our data, but its vastly better than China having access to that.

The algorithm it uses also is particularly aggressive. It actively pushes the absolute worst videos out there onto its users. It rapidly pushes people to extremist content, and not just political content either. You girls are aggressively targeted with videos that celebrate and encourage eating disorders. Young men are pushed to vile sexist rhetoric. Its been cited as a reason for an increase in eating disorders, sexist incidents in school, and even suicide.

Are the other social media sites innocent? No, not at all. But TikTok has taken the absolute worst of social media and amplified it.

Yeah. Reading his biography, he has an obsession with the online domain X.com, owning it when he was exec at the financial company that would eventually become PayPal. When he got fired from that job, he re-bought the domain years later. 

He's thought a company named "X" would be a good idea for decades. It's all strange.

like facebook and other media sites don't CARE who they sell our info to, and probably HAVE sold it to china and russia. 

nah...i just think this is a Xtreme right opinion. 

algorithm....again, let me see the cited examples. but make sure you show facebook, twitter...er X, 4square all of them.

and apparently cali. wasn't having it, for a time. i don't know the outcome (2020)

also...the man won't stop breeding. are him and nick cannon are racing to take over the world population?

Him and Cannon are definitely competing to see who spreads their seed the furthest. In a few years all newborns will either look like Cannon or Musk

I despise TikTok because I've had to watch it actively melt my students' brains over the past few years. You don't know what hell is until you watch the same group of girls do the same shitty dance routines every morning in homeroom.

I can't wait until the Survive Suicide Challenge becomes trendy.

I don't know if you can fully blame TikTok for that. Kids have been finding the stupidest dance moves to repeat until their shoes fall off since forever.

Zuck has some muscle, believe it or not.

But the worst part would be that I would be rooting for Zuckerburg which is something I'd rather not do.

He’s such a fuckin baby removing the block feature because he learned he’s the most blocked.  He doesn’t think blocking makes sense because he’s an idiot with zero social skills or the willingness to work on it.  
 

people need to just leave Twitter for other platforms. Yeah I’m sure it’s gonna suck but it’s the only way. Leave the place to the right wing Qanon trash people.

I'm still having trouble wrapping my head-- For the price of tanking a website into nonexistence, he could have eliminated world hunger 3X over.
