The Chinese version of TikTok (Douyin) is a lot more pleasant to watch, and sanitized.

Installed the apk and after opening I was watching videos already, safe to say there's no degeneracy like the Western version of TikTok has.

Reminds me of the ol' drunken dude from Virtua Fighter (Shun).

That's cool and all.... But my main question is that why is the Chinese version of Tiktok better and more relaxed than their own version of Tiktok released to us?

"Degeneracy"? What the hell do you mean by that?

You'd have to ask ByteDance why the Western version is so toxic compared to the Chinese.

No one is forced to use TikTok, but it sure is making dumb people dumber.

By the way, that's a lot of crocodiles!

I've got no comment.

I really wished that both sides are equally as good, but at this point, it almost makes sense at this point.

From what I've seen on the internets, "degeneracy" in this context refers to an incremental mainstream adoption and acceptance of morally regressive behavior in the post-WWII era and particularly since the advent of social media.

TikTok isn't making people stupider, it's simply allowing stupidity to broadcast itself.
