I'm not a fan of TikTok, but I think I'll make an account (using a VPN because spyware) just so I can make some fresh reaction videos.
A VPN won't help you. Tiktok is probably some of the worst spyware/malware in the entire world, it collects unique identifiers and so much other information that you just won't hide by connecting to a VPN.

I don’t like Tiktok at all—it’s just not my thing. But my Persian family members love it. YouTube is blocked there or at least limited from what I’ve been told, along with a few other major social media sites. Tiktok isn’t, so it’s become a great way for them to share funny videos. I’m happy for the people who enjoy it, even if I’m wary of it as a data collecting tool.

Fuckin' China and its autocracy, or whatever. Dictatorship, autocracy, tyranny; all effectively the same.
TikTok is partially owned by China, and is thus permanently tainted. Needs to be killed off.

Seems to me any content worth watching will end up being duplicated on Youtube or Twitter, so I see no point in consulting Tiktok directly.

Vine showed that the length limitations can produce some creative and interesting results, though from what I've heard, Tiktok seems to more frequently produce annoying and pointless trends.

Me and my friends often will do Discord calls up until early in the morning, during these calls, it's extremely easy for me to laugh at the most random things, when i drink, it's also extremely easy for me to laugh at the most random of things, well, one day on one of these calls, i had downed like half a bottle of wine, you could have said anything and i probably would've laughed, one of them decides to screenshare TikTok memes, even with all those benefits mentioned above, i could not laugh, TikTok humor is amongst the worst inventions of humanity

So I am one of those people who has never downloaded tiktok. I guess I don't see the appeal. I guess it's a good way to mindlessly waste time while watching random 5 seconds videos?

What do you guys think? Am I an old geezer now? Do you guys like tiktok?

I would rather play a video game.


Old Geezer my foot. lol

Well, now I am no expert, but aren't there websites for that?

Like websites that go a bit further? :tpi:
