    Whether it was tiktok under China or tiktok under the US I never found myself wanting to use the app and I don’t see that changing. I just dislike short form video content sites in general with it being filled with wannabe influencers fighting for attention. In a way its too social for me.

    And maybe I’m just a no fun grump, but probably ended up being for the best that it never got its hooks in me.

      Having been someone who was once fully invested in it all and now being here, they likely don’t care or don’t understand enough to care. It’s like when the Arabian billionaires purchased pokemon go from niantic. Most of the platforms gamers didn’t care then ( at least those I know who still play that is) since the digital doesn’t yield the physical difference people (surface level folks) thinks it makes.

    This will mean there are two TikToks, right? I wonder who gets the videos that have already been uploaded, and who gets to start from scratch?
