To preface this, I don't care about Tiktok being banned and I see why they're being banned. I feel like if they were an American enterprise being forced to break up or be sold, they would've complied years ago.
With that said, Tiktok is different because YouTube only suggests videos that are viral so it leans towards popular users and major brands. Tiktok shows every user to you no matter if they have ten likes or a million likes and figures out what content you want by how long you watch and then keeps showing you more users like them. So it gives regular people a massive audience they can't get anywhere else. It's weird that American companies either can't or don't want to replicate this. It's probably the latter. Google wants people to pay for that kinda exposure. Tiktok gives it away for free.

Silver lining, the TikTok hoes will have to double down on OF content or flat out do mainstream porn for more money.
Until the government bans porn like they plan to.

Am I the only one who remembers that Facebook got in trouble with the Government over their data collection and the press from the congressional hearings was so bad that they rebranded the company to "Meta" in spite of their metaverse project never seeing the light of day?
The only difference here is Tiktok's data collection is 10x as intrusive and Bytedance refuses to comply.
Attention addicts hooked on the TT algorithm always seem to gloss over this part. nikkas sounding like crackheads going to bat for their dealer

where did i say living in "totalitarian country" is amazingOh yeah glorious China is utopia for democratic lifestyle
GenZ eating up CCP propaganda like it’s a vape pen
Yeah US has a lot of issues but don’t come telling me that living in totalitarian country is amazing
I specifically said Americans are learning they are getting fukked.
They're seeing cheap grocery bills and massive hauls, they see cheap as fukk EVs, functioning infrastructure, cheap education, and universal healthcare.
this doesn't just apply to china, that is most developed, 1st world countries.
i'm under no illusions that America is number 1.
groceries cost more due to corporate price gouging, there's a 100% tarrif on cheap EVs; so we're stuck with Elon's shyt, our infrastructure is stuck in the 1960s, education will bankrupt or imprison you, and you can ask Luigi what healthcare looks like over here.
let's also not pretend the US isnt feeding people propaganda. black people here think africa is a bunch of mud huts. only after they see it for themselves do they realize what bullshyt CACs are feeding them here. Billionaires own news media and control narratives; so much so that you can't even criticize Trump at WAPO and journalists protesting get called cringe on CNN.
