What is the point of TikTok

Hopefully it'll go the way of Bebo when the novelty wears off.

‘Likes hunters’ aka attention seekers are a fuckin weird breed.

Have you actually used TikTok are are you just bandwagon jumping?

Two of my favourite creators are in their 80's.

teens used to form pop ,rock group,s ,now they make music on laptop,s , tik tok is even easier ,take any piece of music ,dance to it,or do something stupid or slightly funny .why is a 7 year old using a smartphone, never mind making tik toks ? it takes a certain am amount of tech savvy to make youtube video,s , tik tok makes it easy to have 60 second video. when mtv was invented some people used to say it shows people have a short attention span, eg watch 3 minute video,s . on page one tiktok website i see irish video you mad c..t , the c word, is there no moderation on tik tok, don,t they even try to block bad language in the title of the video. i think tik tok is supposed to have a age limit ,how is a 7 year setting up a tik tok account.

There are even TikTok houses now.

"TikTok houses are literal houses (often mansions) where primarily Gen-Z TikTok influencers live together and create videos for the social media platform."

Adding a bit of reading for Tiktok users

TikTok insiders say social media company is tightly controlled by Chinese parent ByteDance

CCP plot to undermine the west through shortened attention spans and slide into degeneracy

Boobs

Tiktok is used by 60 per cent of americans under the age of 30, yes it has a lot of dancing video,s , any song that goes viral on tik tok is likely to be a hit .

every generation has its own form of media that it favors,

old people used to say whats the point of rock and roll , comicbooks , the beatles , jazz music. i think its cool that young people are dancing to old songs from the 70,s ,80,s , 90s . it real talent to dance to a song for 2 minutes and get millions of views .

theres alot of political content on tik tok, pro minority and lgbt content. i see no harm in it ,maybe the next lady gaga or madonna will get started on tik tok.

i think its ridiculous to say tik tok is some scheme to spread pro china political content to young people ,

its based on an older app that had a 2 minute time limit ,but it lhas a deal with record companys so you can use any song or piece of music without getting a dmca takedown notice .

and it has very easy to use editing features built in .

It's a vines rip off.

Data gathering by the Chinese is it not?

I always thought imagine the chaos in the world TikTok or Facebook could create if they released everyone’s search history on those apps for one day!!

China could wreak havoc with the information it has on people.

Tik tok was based on vine but with the option to use music from sony.universal big music company's as a soundtrack. If a song is popular on tik tok it,ll be a hit.it notes what videos you watch and then it,ll show you more of the same . I hear gen z uses tik tok for news .

So people searching for other people on Facebook or looking up other people’s pictures etc?

Imagine all that history was released.
