I used to be in the TikTok bad camp until the controversy came up. I tried it last summer and haven’t looked back. A session on Facebook or X leaves you anxious and annoyed. I am sure you know the feeling. A session of TikTok leaves you in a good mood, and often leaves you with something you think about the rest of the day.
The only problem with TikTok is that you don’t want to put it down. If you click not interested on something, you don’t see that kind of thing again.
If you like something, it gives you more from that area. And best of all, the main feature is not comments or engagement. Unless you specifically open for them you don’t even see them.
Pretty soon, you will get an informative and very entertaining feed of GOOD music, health and exercise tips, deep motivation and thought provoking life advice, Christian topics and sermon clips, great cooking, travel, home maintenance tips, animal videos, dogs, road trips, etc. And there is a VERY healthy serving of conservative politics. Clips of Reagan, modern commentators, you name it.
Try it, and inside of a day you’ll realize how dishonest our government is and that they have lied to us once again.
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it all in detail.
My experience with China and tech, is that they rig, cheat, basically throw the national kitchen sink at stupid incidental things. I fully expected the worst with Tik Tok.
It’s nice to gain perspective and it’s appreciated.
