You might be off by another factor of 100 because most of those "active users" just consume stuff and maybe add a comment.

It doesn’t even matter — going back to the car example, say you drive near 1-2 thousand cars on an hour drive, if you have 2-3 scary experiences, that makes you think “drivers here suck!” So a sample size of like .1% makes you think a problem applies to 50% of drivers.

If I watch TikTok for an hour a day for a week, and I watch 4 videos/minute on average, I’ll watch over 1500 videos a week. If only one or two of those are VERY traumatizing (e.g. showing death), I’d think TikTok has a big moderation problem. That’s an ultra-low number of users making it seem like there is a huge issue
