Did you know that you can swap SIM cards between devices? Or that there are dumbphones on the market that can still serve has 5G hotspots for companion devices?

You are regarded!

This is a vibe and I'm here for it.

You don't need to directly tap that information from the phone if you have enough variety of video and an algorithm that will identify and converge on micro-genres of video based on watch time, likes, and shares.

Aside from that, Tik-Tok Shop is also a thing. So elements of the application exist where you volunteer data like location.

Think of it like Oreos:

- Text-based blogging platforms: regular Oreos

- Image-based blogging platforms: Double Stuff Oreos

- Short-form video blogging platforms: Mega Stuff Oreos

There are still plenty of high-quality and addictive ways to share information without Tik-tok.

Everyone will be better off without Mega Stuff Oreos, they were an abomination to begin with

We used to just laugh at trolls, and folks who took things too seriously online. "Go outside ***".

There was a fundamental understanding that "online" is not the "real world", and that no meaningful action could be accomplished in the former.

Now we have billionaires penning huge essays about it. We collectively lost the plot I guess.

Just touch grass, Paul.
