I’ll admit that I have never used TicTok — mostly because it always sounded toxic/unhealthy from the start — and this comment/article seem to reinforce that.

It’s really crazy — and a bit scary — how much messed up stuff can proliferate a single app.

I used it briefly and was disgusted by the amount of political garbage that was flowing. I'm glad I stayed off. There's nothing in the above list that I want to see.

I used to tell people that even if Trump had the wrong reasons, he had the right idea when he wanted to ban TikTok.

Oh man, if you're wary of TikTok, wait until you see Instagram!

I don't think you needed to admit anything :)

I used it once with my wife to see what it was, all it seemed to be was EXTREMELY LOUD MUSIC playing over various things, it was annoying. Not everything needs music. We didn't last two minutes.
