        Yeah, some of the funniest screenshots I’ve ever seen have been 4chan green texts. Still doesn’t mean I want to wade through the oceans of shit, lol.

        I feel like TikTok is definitely better content-wise because it caters to each individual and a lot more people use it (not just sweaty basement dwellers). I don’t use it because it’s designed to be so addicting.

        Right, China Knowing my viewing habits is the end of the world. They will also radicalize me. Old man is too cool for the content.

        You know what shows up on my feed? Cars, CNN, ABC movie clips, and cooking. The same exact shit I get on Reddit, Instagram, and my RSS before it died. If you have actually used Tiktok for more then 5 minutes and that’s all you see, then that’s on you. The algorithm is quite spot on for every user I know.

      There ARE good people making good content that use the platform. A lot of people are on the platform, so there’s an argument to be made about reaching people with your work and message

      But that also means we should continue to highlight issues so that we can fix them / build something better

          No. You all just call anything you disagree with trolling. You think that millions of millions of people are using tiktok as a fancy qvc selling channel?

          There is a ton of fantastic content unless you have a fedora shoved up your ass.

          But yeah, I’m trolling and the community doesn’t just blindly repeat tIKtOK bad over ad-nausium.

            I agreed with you? read my comment again

            The trolling comment was about your commenting history, which looks a lot like downvote trolling. If you’re trying to make a point in those threads, you aren’t doing it effectively.

              I couldn’t care less about changing extremism views here. I’m just stating my option which is not welcome in these communities.

                I disagree with people quite often, and it’s usually well received / welcome in all communities I’ve commented in

                For example, above
