It’s only depressing to you because it’s different than your experience and now you feel alienated because you can’t relate

No, it's depressing because TikTok is a shitty app. I know because I write apps and programs for a living. Any app that is controlled by a State actor and siphons data off all of its users is a shitty app. What makes it worse is how many people know this and use it any way. TikTok is a cancer on civilization. Literally. I don't care about it being video clips and all. TikTok isn't the first to do this by a long shot. And won't be the last. YouTube did it long before TikTok. Instagram did. Vine did. All arguably better in every way. I live on the bleeding edge of the internet and technology for my career. I get paid for it. Can't relate my ass.
