reminds me that "the greatest minds at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway" made it harder to open your list of apps on Play Store but never mind

Open the list, select 'TikTok' and click 'Uninstall'

This is not to be demeaning. But if you're having too much trouble disconnecting from it, then that should be the way. You can still see videos in a browser.

Preaching to the choir here, I don't do any social media on my phone at all.

But still, kind of unhelpful. What do we do about them?

It's addictive. Many users don't uninstall because they are addicted, and the social media companies exploit this for profit.

this is the personal responsibility or bootstraps argument in a poorly made sheep's clothing.
