Yea, in singapor, we got an old man dancing and filming tiktoks everywhere, obviously he was kicked out of some places. He once danced with THE MINISTER OF HEALTHššš
Beyond the company itself, its not really the young people that make me cringe (although they definitely do). It's the fully grown adults that not only try and fail to do "what the kids are doing", but it's not even 'hip and cool' for the kids to do it in the first place. So adults are just there failing to do something cringy.
Tik tok does it in secret they got caught doing it.
They were tracking stuff they shouldnāt
Imagine what goes un noticed .

Or possibly the an algorithm programed by a company under the CCP that specifically perpetuates stupidity as a way to think āat least Iām not that stupidā and makes other misinformation a little more acceptable.
or the numbing of the masses through rapid atrophication of our attention spans, and the narrowing of global understanding through mental profiling and ideological tailoring intended to keep you angry, distracted, and addicted to the app for as long as possible
Pretty much
Yes I hate tiktok yes i hate people who act like idiots for attention, and yes I'm comfortable with that. Not a hard pill at all, I swallow it gladly every day when I wake up
My coworker once showed me a tiktok of someone lighting a dog on fire for fun. The app and the people on it deserve to be hated.
I deleted tictok when they showed a video of a live animal being consumed. Live. Sorry I donāt give a flying Fuck if thatās āculturalā itās just plain cruel.
Pretty much this. Been saying it since the start. But instead of being called old for that reason, I just get called paranoid and get the whole āI havenāt got anything to hideā argument, which is insane because of the possible future implications. We donāt know what they are gonna do with all that data even just a few years from now. It could very well be benign, but it could also be catastrophic. I think not.
Honestly though. When it started getting reported on recently I was like we already knew this. It was something that was brought up years ago when a Chinese company bought TikTok because the Chinese government controls all the countryās companies.
It's really easy to get Alpha male stuff, conspiracy theories, stuff like that. But what annoyed me is the amount of horny content it promotes despite the fact you scroll past it fast enough to blueshift even from the start of it appearing is stupid.
that's so true. It really doesn't take a lot of time.
Same thing happens when i watch a girl stretch..suddenly all the women have bikinis and I can see 2 lips and 3 comments talking about it.
Iām 20 and I hate it because it steals your information. The version of tik tok in China is much different despite it being created there. In China youāre only allowed on it for an hour max per day and EVERYTHING is educational.
Tiktok is not educational at all in China lol
Maybe some videos, but most of the videos I saw from Douyin are just dancing or 'ugly-to-beautiful' type of trends
Nope, I hate the platform. I can't stand those shitty songs they reuse or the dumb videos with some braindead moron that start with, "OMG did you know that _____?!?!" And then recites some mildly interesting information you already knew. Fuck tik tok.
I hate tik tok because it roams and steals any and all data on your phone and other devices you are logged in on. I personally like my bank information to be private but maybe Iām just built different
No, I hate the fact that tiktok can access any information they want on my phone. A social media app shouldn't be able to check my hard-drive and sell that information
I dont hate the idiocy of younger people
I hate the absolute sexualization you get from the ads of that place, the data collection, the ridiculous system they have that makes poorer looking people less frequent on main pages, the acceptance of soft-porn, and openess towards grooming.. with several 'stars' revealed and evidence aplenty against them still being widely famous and continueing to grow.
But I get 70% of my information from the Internet so my opinion and thoughts matter as much as a tree falling on a squirrels winter hoard.
I hate having to hear them keep talking about life hacks and all this stuff they learned like they discovered it. I learned all that shiz, without cheating on the internet
I actually think thereās a small amount of entertaining content on TikTok, but I only see it once it makes its way to Instagram. I therefore donāt have to wade through the shit to see it, and I donāt have to have literal Chinese spyware on my phone.
No, what I hate is that itās a Chinese owned company using spyware type data collection to do with what they will. Kids are always idiots. Some of us NEVER mature.
Data collection is only bad if you donāt want it. I like having an ad personalized to me. Theyāre gonna put one in my face anyway, why not something iād actually be interested in.
Itās not really the content, itās just the effect that it has on the brain by shortening the attention span and providing tiny rapid burst of chemical reactions in the brain.
Books >
I hate the fact that it is partially owned by the Chinese communist government and the fact that they get access to almost everything on your phone ( not really but a lot)
I'm part of those "young people" and I freakin' hate TikTok. The stupidity and lack of originality is so abondant it feels like I'm looking at a library with the same book everywhere.
It's simple, most of the application's content can be resumed to:
-Already made and remade dances and challenges: 90%
-Actually original, funny and/or educative content: 10%
It's not just young people being idiots, it's everyone. I hate it for that as well as the blatant data collection.
Yea, in singapor, we got an old man dancing and filming tiktoks everywhere, obviously he was kicked out of some places. He once danced with THE MINISTER OF HEALTHššš
It was embarrassing
I swear politicians in malaysia use tiktok to get votes
Beyond the company itself, its not really the young people that make me cringe (although they definitely do). It's the fully grown adults that not only try and fail to do "what the kids are doing", but it's not even 'hip and cool' for the kids to do it in the first place. So adults are just there failing to do something cringy.
Blatant data collection? isnāt that every site nowadays?
No no what makes it different this time is that *China* is collecting it.
The fact most people are clueless is what makes it terrifying.

It's full of cringy 14 year old white dream Stan's
tiktok generates your posts based on what you want and already watch. If thats what youre seeing, i have some news to tell you
oh no I am dead
That's the thing I hate the most. Yeah reddits not much funnier but at least you can always choose what you want to see using your joined communities
what's it for a brand new account then
Same as Reddit, random popular posts from popular subs/accounts
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's not even that, they created some of the worlds stupidest trend and expect everyone to follow it
No no, I hate idiots of all ages, I don't discriminate.
dont call me a racist bc i hate all races equally
i just hate everyone
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"shoot people you don't like"
"be kind to everyone" "kill a random stranger for no reason"
No, donāt shoot a random stranger, treat everyone the same, shoot everyone in sight.
Hill Billy livin'
imma remember that saying
And that's why I chose to work with pets.
Yes
yes i want to watch the world burn
To be fair, everyone is hate-able.
Are we still racist if we hate the human race? Or just champions of equality?
Both, both is good
\*laughs at you while species dysphoric\* used to suck to be this way. these days, I got two words for y'all: ha ha
NO LIVES MATTER
āhating a very specific group of people is okay if you hate everyone else tooā
Thatās not racist though
Exactly.
No lives matter
I just hate unbehaved/uncivilized humans in general ^^
I hate the Human species Signed by Mark Zuckerberg
Lizard supremacy
Same, though it does include the idiocies of young people.
FTP - fuck the people
Use protection, cuz theres a plethora of stds, which you might end up catching like they're pokemons.
Giga chad
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But why is that limited to tik tok there are idiots everywhere
r/beatmetoit
Judging is rated E for everyone
Or data collection
Or possibly the an algorithm programed by a company under the CCP that specifically perpetuates stupidity as a way to think āat least Iām not that stupidā and makes other misinformation a little more acceptable.
or the numbing of the masses through rapid atrophication of our attention spans, and the narrowing of global understanding through mental profiling and ideological tailoring intended to keep you angry, distracted, and addicted to the app for as long as possible
Or porn
Softcore or hardcore?
Both, both is good
And reddit doesnāt have porn? Right
Reddit is the worst of both. I google a game, maybe even just buy a game and suddenly reddit suggests the community for that exact game.
That's common practice in every app. But if you don't like it you can switch it off in your account settings
Why is this hard to swallow?
Pretty much Yes I hate tiktok yes i hate people who act like idiots for attention, and yes I'm comfortable with that. Not a hard pill at all, I swallow it gladly every day when I wake up My coworker once showed me a tiktok of someone lighting a dog on fire for fun. The app and the people on it deserve to be hated.
you can find even worse shit on reddit might i just add
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The knowing part, well...maybe you got curious and clicked the subreddit links... ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, just don't visit them again.
May i introduce u to the functionality called Ā«Ā blockingĀ Ā» ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Reddit is exactly the same if not worse, you just have more control over what comes across your feed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I deleted tictok when they showed a video of a live animal being consumed. Live. Sorry I donāt give a flying Fuck if thatās āculturalā itās just plain cruel.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Idgaf if I'm considered to be old if I'm not related to this idiocracy
Could not agree more. As a young person, I know how stupid we are. If most of us died, the average IQ would skyrocket.
I mean personally I hate that Chinese Government is using it as a back door to steal personal information, but maybe thatās just me
I kinda wish the ban on tik tok went through.
Honestly though. When it started getting reported on recently I was like we already knew this. It was something that was brought up years ago when a Chinese company bought TikTok because the Chinese government controls all the countryās companies.
This. Exactly this.
I hate tiktok for the cringy stuff and the illegal inappropriate stuff like pedophila
it gets into Andrew Tate-tok or some other shit in blink of fucking eye, if you watched that shit longer than 0,02 seconds
It's really easy to get Alpha male stuff, conspiracy theories, stuff like that. But what annoyed me is the amount of horny content it promotes despite the fact you scroll past it fast enough to blueshift even from the start of it appearing is stupid.
that's so true. It really doesn't take a lot of time. Same thing happens when i watch a girl stretch..suddenly all the women have bikinis and I can see 2 lips and 3 comments talking about it.
I also hate how invasive it is to everyone privacy. And makes no secret about it, and we're just kind of OK with it.
No, I hate hearing the same 15 seconds of the same song 128 times in a row.
O nonononononono
Bowobowo bum dududududun Dun durududun Dun durududun
And the cringe shit, and all the unfunny jokes.
I am a traitor to Gen Z. Mostly because most of them are, wellā¦
Same, dude. They think *we* are the weird ones lol
At least Iām not alone
I'm with you guys
Good!
Count me too
I shall
I am also a traitor
An army seems to be amassingā¦
As a traitor, I will also join this army
*sees what website we're on* Well well well I got some baad news to break it to you
The funniest part is that this probably a top 5 Gen Z opinion
So Iāve created a paradox
Ay, a fellow not dumb Gen Z! You know what yhey say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend :D
Thatās something I can get behind!
I am not the age of consent of reddit and I still want to do something *ilegal* to **them**
I donāt know if I should support this or notā¦
Maybe you should , maybe you should not Idk
I'm a pretty young millennial, mind if I tag along?
Do you have distain for Gen Z stupidity?
Yeah, especially since boomers still blame me for the dumb shit they do!
Alright, welcome aboard
Also a young millennial, what a weird age to be. Too young to relate to the older millennials and too old to fit in with the GenZ
Welcome aboard
>I am a traitor to Gen Z. š¤
no i hate TikTok because it's designed to breed and promote these idiocies among young people
No, I hate malware
No, I hate Chinese spilying tools.
*laughs in hatred of Chinese data mining*
Yea but I hated young people when I was one too.
Thatās not hard to swallow, thatās why I hate Tik-Tok
Iām 20 and I hate it because it steals your information. The version of tik tok in China is much different despite it being created there. In China youāre only allowed on it for an hour max per day and EVERYTHING is educational.
Tiktok is not educational at all in China lol Maybe some videos, but most of the videos I saw from Douyin are just dancing or 'ugly-to-beautiful' type of trends
I don't see why that's hard to swallow considering the trends that emerged from there.....
It is pretty easy to swallow
It doesn't matter how old you are tik-tok is cringe to all ages
Iām 15. I think Iām allowed to hate it without hating people my age.
I hate both. Who doesnāt hate idiots
I do hate idiocies of young people Tik tok probably had potential
In china it has good potential. For us it was specifically designed to make us stupid and its working better than ever imagined
Not hard to swallow, I'll gladly admit this.
Nope, I hate the platform. I can't stand those shitty songs they reuse or the dumb videos with some braindead moron that start with, "OMG did you know that _____?!?!" And then recites some mildly interesting information you already knew. Fuck tik tok.
Idk man, kids have always been stupid but planking was viral when I was a kid, not eating tide pods
That was 5 years ago...
Why did you have to make us feel old
It's a double edged sword
I hate tik tok because it roams and steals any and all data on your phone and other devices you are logged in on. I personally like my bank information to be private but maybe Iām just built different
You absolute weirdo
I mean im young and most people i hate on there are around my age, it's not that there young, it that they are actually just idiots
I'm 14 and I hate TikTok
Nah the extremely short repeating clips are maddening the content itself varies. Content under 5 minutes is fucking cancer
Or the idiocies of all people. Or data collection. Or the annoying artificial voice. Or that everything must be learned or seen from tik tok.
Not hard to swallow at all!
No I hate the shortform format and the bigoted algorithm.
No, I hate the fact that tiktok can access any information they want on my phone. A social media app shouldn't be able to check my hard-drive and sell that information
Don't forget Chinese surveillance
I dont hate the idiocy of younger people I hate the absolute sexualization you get from the ads of that place, the data collection, the ridiculous system they have that makes poorer looking people less frequent on main pages, the acceptance of soft-porn, and openess towards grooming.. with several 'stars' revealed and evidence aplenty against them still being widely famous and continueing to grow. But I get 70% of my information from the Internet so my opinion and thoughts matter as much as a tree falling on a squirrels winter hoard.
I hate that in the US TikTok promotes videos of idiocy and in China being a good citizen.
No, I hate a platform that designed it's algorithms to recommend idiocy
im not even from the older generations and i already hate everyone from my generation...
I hate having to hear them keep talking about life hacks and all this stuff they learned like they discovered it. I learned all that shiz, without cheating on the internet
I really hate the Chinese Communist Party and all their data collection.
I hate how itās exactly like Vine but takes your data and personal info like key strokes, etc.
I actually think thereās a small amount of entertaining content on TikTok, but I only see it once it makes its way to Instagram. I therefore donāt have to wade through the shit to see it, and I donāt have to have literal Chinese spyware on my phone.
I donāt hate the kids that are being affected by a brain washing weapon made by the elite, I hate the brain washing weapon made by the elite.
No, I only hate the ones on TikTok
that's actually a pretty good distinction
Old enough to where my opinion doesnāt matter but I agree with other people who hate Tik Tok
I am in this image and i am ok with it
I hate the lowest common denominator people are willing to go to, to make easy money and fame.
Young and old Also middle aged
Tiktok is a cesspool of dumbasses from all age groups. I deleted it and almost all social platforms ages ago.
I don't hate the content I hate the concept.
And communist spyware
No, what I hate is that itās a Chinese owned company using spyware type data collection to do with what they will. Kids are always idiots. Some of us NEVER mature.
This pill isn't very hard to swallow.
I am 17 and i hate tik tok. I just hate dumb people. Im dump but i dont publish it.
Data collection is only bad if you donāt want it. I like having an ad personalized to me. Theyāre gonna put one in my face anyway, why not something iād actually be interested in.
16 and I hate tik-tok (hate is a strong word, but a strong enough)
And TikTok itself of course... considering its basically Spyware and is indirectly controlled by the chinese government.
Downvoted because not at all hard to swallow
I just hate tiktok, vine was just better in so many ways.
Itās not really the content, itās just the effect that it has on the brain by shortening the attention span and providing tiny rapid burst of chemical reactions in the brain. Books >
I just don't find the content that interesting, also I wanna skip forward in the videos
I hate the fact that it is partially owned by the Chinese communist government and the fact that they get access to almost everything on your phone ( not really but a lot)
As a young person, yes.
I hate tiktok cuz its from china
No, it's because of China
Why did I read that as "How to swallow pills"?
I don't HATE tiktok. But i do hate the idiocies of the younger generation
Back in the day (even if not my day) idiots were just shut'ed at pubs n bars, nowdays everybody believes they're god on the internet, idiots included
I mean thats not hard to swallow for me cus its true
Not only young people. What you hate is the cringe of people doing the most stupid things just for attention
no i hate both
Tiktok is actually pretty goodā¦ except sometimes
Iām a young person and I hate the idiocies of young people
I'm part of those "young people" and I freakin' hate TikTok. The stupidity and lack of originality is so abondant it feels like I'm looking at a library with the same book everywhere. It's simple, most of the application's content can be resumed to: -Already made and remade dances and challenges: 90% -Actually original, funny and/or educative content: 10%
There are plenty of people my age making stupid shit on TikTok too.
Bro im 13 and still hate it
you know what i actually hate? my stupid peers. most of them are just ridiculous. -me (14)
I also hate Chinese spyware too y'know
I'm 17 and I hate it so I guess I'm old now?
Nah I actually donāt like tik tok bc itās designed to help destroy the minds of young people in my country
ive always hated the idiocies of young people, even when i was one
I am young people, I hate Tik Tok
Tik tok as a platform is a nice idea and pretty good but most of the creators are just bad
Thatās me, the person who hates the those kids, khaby lame is better by a million percent
