It's Chinese spyware that was specifically and provably designed to dumb down Westerners even more and make the Chinese smarter by specifically showing certain content to people in those countries. Americans then fell for it harder than a billion Trojan horses and remain locked in it's grasp. That one small app took a ton of my respect for humanity away.
STFU
If that's been proven then you should be able to cite the source of the proof right? Please go ahead.
Foreigner...? Reading this as a non-Chinese and non-US American is quite baffling. Are these the only two countries in your world?
Idk man. I don't use TikTok and probably never will, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to be able to segregate their entertainment from their intellect.
I'm surprised people downvote that idea. Part of the issue was the hordes of people of... lower intellect flooding into public forums to begin with. Segmenting them out into their own little zoo seems ideal to filter the noise out more effectively.
I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.
Ok, prove it please.
