Re:YouTube faces creator backlash on Tuesday July 30, 2019 @10:22AM (#20565051)
Haven't been on Tik Tok that long either, but I stumbled upon this story where a girl send a poor non-binary kid a box full of cosmetics. I found that pretty heart-warming.

The point is it's a bit too quick to label a new medium pure cancer. Given time, people will find ways to create amazing things using any format.

This sad story reminds me of this excerpt from the novel Ishmael by Daniel Quinn: “You may compete to the full extent of your capabilities, but you may not hunt down your competitors or destroy their food or deny them access to food. In other words, you may compete but you may not wage war.”

We are waging a war on our brothers and sisters. Our collective humanity deteriorate for each and every soul that we trample upon for the sake of economic progress.
