really funny how ever since instagram stories most social media companies have just blantantly stolen from eachother & tried really hard to have almost an exact copy of whatever feature is most popular at the time

ex. instagram reels
youtube shorts

algorithm crazy

if you’re an adult and still scared of negative social media effects on yourself

GROW UP !!!!!! 🗣

how?

Eh.. Don’t you remember there were stupid challenges on vine too?

Imma be honest brah…tik tok is actually a great app. Might be the best social media app out rn

yup its ridiculous because anytime a new company comes up, all the big platforms will just copy whatever feature made it big

the amount of funny/creative s*** I’ve seen on tik tok outnumbers what I’ve seen on vine,ig, etc. @DAVIDP

"Boonk gang" was ONE person, that bullshit never got national attention. This is just straight up delinquency. It's even more stupid because these kids are dumb enough to FILM themselves and post it, they are self-snitching.

Look, you can cape for tiktok all you want. I'll admit that the platform itself is fine, in fact the whole app is designed really well. There's no arguing that. But the content/influence it has on our society is truly just evil. Also, the fact that it's publically noted to be owned by China and steals your data is a threat.

Way more toxic, larger user base, etc. Some of the movements that come from tik tok are some real sad and or harmful s***. Any negatives they find from IG i bet that s*** is multiplied for Tik tok. and im not even a hater of the platform.

fam EVERYONE is stealing our data and this ain’t the first time we’ve seen kids do illegal d***head s*** on social media brah

But let's be real, having your own country steal your data isn't comparable to a different one doing it. Even worse, one that your country has tension with.

Ship already sunk, no reason to compare, endorphin port soon

Honestly,

I'll give you guys the fact that tiktok is a pretty ingenious platform. That's the one thing it excels at.

The fact is you guys are right, it's probably the absolute best social media app. But it being the best "social media app" also means it's the worst and most harmful:

Everything else about it IS a reflection of everything wrong with our society and culture.

Also it's designed to be extremely addictive, there's studies about it rewiring your attention span, and like I said, the fact that it's a Chinese app that has been actually noted by our government (not just Trump) as being a threat should tell you something.

I like Instagram. I mostly just follow people I know.

called social comparison, which is when people assess their own value in relation to the attractiveness, wealth and success of others.
“Social comparison is worse on Instagram"
If you fall for it its your fault

Its mad acid tho cuz digital influencers, it benefits more brands, celebs and if you have a closer group of friends

it is

Technology is biological progression, we are moving towards a singularity

I cannot speak on this, otherwise DAVIDP will send his Bitcoin assassins after me... Lord willing I don't get ran over by a mobility scooter

theres some incredible musicians on tik tok too, honestly stunned by some of the stuff I've seen heard

Now do twitter

The US government can f*** u up way worse than a foreign one if u live there you schizo

Didnt u get banned for saying stupid s*** about China too?

I got banned for a joke saying Daby was brainwashed by China. Not really seeing why you're caping for them. It was not an insulting joke.

And the country that runs an app having your data is more concerning to me than Zuckerberg or whatever.

Besides that though, personally I don't even use social media. But I will say the stuff on tiktok is definitely concerning. I think people cap for it way too hard.
