I want to think they’re referring more to the culture of doing things you wouldn’t normally do in order to gain popularity. Like that one girl who drank a ton of Benadryl.

The problem is that those people exist on every social media platform, not just TikTok.

And attention seeking clowns used to around before the Internet. I used to be one.

It’s comments and the duets.

Little kids on TikTok are much more vicious than Twitter users. And they are little kids. Tiktok does a decent job with facial recognition to suppress their videos but that doesn’t stop a mass horde of them from stumbling on a couple of videos of mine and turning it into a cesspool.

Now of course that’s not worth the eradication of the app, but it’s not very inspiring to see the next generation being encouraged to act in the worst ways of online discourse.

As someone that grew up playing with other kids on the net, kids have always been vicious unempathetic little shits.
