It says it’s free, but then there’s a pricing and plans page?

A lot of alarm bells ringing for me about that app.

Dinner

Reddit killed Stumbleupon for me, that’s how I discovered it to be honest. Before then I’d used Digg but that got killed with new Digg

Yeah well TikTok was “saved” by Trump and a right winger has a 14% share. I’ve definitely seen more questionable comments and videos since it got “saved”.

America emerged as a superpower along with the USSR after WW2. Japan dragged America into the war after Pearl Harbor.

Not much has changed in 12 years, another reason time perception is needed nowadays

1980 to 1992 was a massive cultural change, 2013 to now is nothing.

Ready Player One was so bad, but this is a rare instance where the book is worse than the film. At least the film has visuals the book is just cringe and rememberberries.

Mean girls… Christmas movie.

AHH Encarta and the mind maze

Everything that is built for profit is designed for maximum retention of users i.e. addiction.

I’m not sure I follow what you mean by “I’d find it hard to believe that a given person has never seen tiktok content outside tiktok”

I’m not defending TikTok blindly here, it just annoys me when people pass judgement with pretty much zero knowledge on something except from what they’ve heard/read.

I know TikTok is flawed yes but no more or less than any other profit driven app/site. If you don’t like short form content then that’s fine, personally I think there’s a time and place for it.

Reading this comment thread has made Muffin lose all meaning. Isn’t it such a funny word when you think about it

Cool now do gambling

That people should try things before they fully pass judgement. I’m not particularly pro TikTok but a lot of Lemmy’s anti TilTok views are ones they’ve picked up from media parroting.

Ok tldr please

Yeah a lot that the media have been blaming TikTok for for years, they’ve wanted it shut down from day one.

News reports and interviews aren’t exactly peer reviewed science?

I’m guilty of using tiktok half the people on here have never used it. But you’re exactly right a few years ago it was actually not too bad, but these days every other video is an advert for some AliExpress level shit.

Please enlighten me to how Tiktok is killing teens.

Cool I bet you sleep with your curtains/blinds open, don’t lock your doors and post your address online right? Who cares about privacy.

Nothing like a shading backdoor onto people’s devices than a literal Trojan horse such as a virus scanner.
