    It's so our soon to be overlords from China can monitor us.

    Youtube is too politically censored.

    While TicTok's deplatforming has yet to start in earnest, it is interesting to see short videos (some excellently produced).

    Much of it is utter crap from people with something to say and little intelligence, but that is the joy of the swipe.

    I'm 50's and there are quite a few interesting items I have found on the platform.

    I reckon that that's been said about all platforms when they first start getting traction.

    I've started browsing after getting quite a few people (who had previously said what you said) send me items from it and I find it quite funny. Although because I'm new it hasn't figured out yet what it wants to send me so I do get a lot of repetitive "japes" but that's only because I haven't engaged with it much.

    Short vids, some better than others.

    I'm over 50.

    What does it do that YouTube doesn’t? Nothing. It’s just a another social media platform is all. It’s good for trending silly nonsense like this though (and gets uploaded to YouTube later) -

    if you have a good idea and its entertaining your video will be shown
    to maybe millions of users .
    theres irish people doing irish dancing to pop songs that are getting alot of views.
    its got 700 million users ,i think its audience is mainly people under 30 .when you have millions of users theres bound to be some very talented funny videos being made.
    And if a song goes viral on tik tock it will go into the charts.
    it has alot of influence on pop music.
    click for you and it shows you random videos,
    its better than youtube in that it learns what you like.
    And it rewards singers dancers who are talented and funny or clever .

    the app is very well designed to make it easy to edit videos and put in sound effects without being a super tech expert.
    youtube is not designed to make easy to use any pop song in your video,s
    they have a deal with all the big music companys to legally use any pop song without it ghetting removed or blocked
    put 5 seconds of music in a youtube video without the owners permission and it will get removed or you,,ll get a dmca notice

    when i go on tik tock i just see irish teens doing pointless stupid pranks or dancing ,
    but i dont use it on my phone.

    I joined a few months ago, i didn’t think I’d like it but I was talked into it by the other half, she loves it, then again she’s big into Asian culture. I check it about twice daily and enjoy it for what it is. I’ve never posted anything but I like the functionality of it, just swipe and see what happens... sometimes hilarious, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes a bit educational even....harmless fun.

    Tik tok's for girls who want to show off their arse. Do you want to spend your free time looking at girls arses?

    It's for children and immature narcistic adults.
