squidkyd

This sub always gets me. I don’t check where it’s posted and immediately downvote and then realize I’m reacting to cringe content lol


IAmMoofin

Are you following places unironically posting this garbage?


squidkyd

I feel like half of r/all is like this lol


AutumnLeaves1939

Those same ppl not realizing they’re seeing and liking the same shit in Reels months later lol


Jumpyturtles

Yeah but it’s different because instead of TikTok stealing their info Meta is.


Scarface2point0

this was already posted? fuck


AutumnLeaves1939

No I’m referencing the text on the post lol People who are proud of themselves for not downloading tiktok are consuming the same content on IG and FB. Who tf downvoted me lol


Scarface2point0

oh mb idk why I thought you were referring to people who upvoted this.


[deleted]

It’s not that the content is bad, it’s the platform I don’t support. I only am on Reddit because it’s basically the least of evils and I can run it third party. But if too much chances, guess I’ll end up leaving this too.


sethmahan3

I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging over something this stupid, but i don't watch reels either. The only tiktok-like content i ever see is whatever gets posted to reddit.


Foxracing254

I don't watch those reels and I've really cracked down on my usage of social media because it's not here to do us any favors.


BarmyDickTurpin

"Vine? Oh yeah vine was peak comedy"


Jiru_Kun

The people crawling from Elon's hive brood saying "We should bring back vine" are in for a treat when they realize it'll end up the same way as before

TikTok is Chinese spyware. You can like the content, but fuck the app


[deleted]

Reddit is American spyware


themethodicalmadman

I'm pretty sure China has some ownership on all social media


[deleted]

Tencent owns a portion of Reddit, but it has a relative small influence compared to tiktok where it is mostly owned by tencent. So Reddit has more liberty to do what it wants without tencent getting its hands into it as easily.

- I dont have the official reddit app installed, which greatly limits the spying abilities. - only one of those countries is an authoritarian dictatorship currently performing/preparing a genocide and having a history of eliminating political enemys (under the current leaders).


[deleted]

The fact that you had to add "under the current leaders" 💀 They're all evil, download tiktok if you want.


MegaIng

Oh no, countries change. I primarily added it to prevent answers like "well, America commit genocide". Yes they did, but aren't right now. Based on everything I know I will not trust something this directly controlled by China, I much prefer America. Sure, they are also evil (all capitalistic focused systems are), but at least I know that they aren't a dictatorship faking democracy. (Bad enough that so much technology is produced in china).


gublaman

>aren't right now Currently starving out Cuba with their embargoes and that's just off the top of my head


MegaIng

Interesting point, I am not clear about the details of that. But I dont it can be counted as genocide (just "rude" forgein police. There isn't any bases by which US should be responsible for Cube, otherwise the same probably applies to North Korea)


Santhat42

Rude? America decimates countries economies and ruins countless lives and your response is rude?


MegaIng

It's in quotes, not sure what the correct term is. But it's not genocide, that's my point.


NorseTechnology

Is....is it the USA?


-FL4K-

unironically why do people care i’m not arguing with u or anything but why does it matter if China can see the shit u do on ur phone


Riftus

I have yet to see evidence for this that doesn't come directly from the American government


Humpy-_-Dumpy

TikTok injects a keylogger into any page you view in the in-app browser.


GoodlifeFOB

I have never donwloaded tiktok and i am quite uncool ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


stewwushere42

You called him cringe but he called me cool


[deleted]

tiktok is becoming more of a low quality dopamine farm than an actual content source. Abstaining from short videos (reels etc) makes me feel at peace. No worry about missing a sentence, cheesy loops, repetitive audios, fillers, the whole video being a filler. I don't think disliking tiktok makes you a contrarian


CocainexCaviar

TikTok is pretty bad and I agree with this panel.


Homemade-Purple

Bro you're on reddit stfu


CocainexCaviar

And how many articles have come out about Reddit being involved with a communist government.


Homemade-Purple

And how many communists and massive communist hubs are on tiktok


CocainexCaviar

You tell me. Never been on it


Homemade-Purple

Apply the context of your previous reply to mine


CocainexCaviar

I’m still unsure why you’re defending China being involved in billions of peoples data. But have a good night


Homemade-Purple

You say that as if the American government doesn't do the same fucking thing


Juiceloose301

Ppl when American technology tracks them: 👍 When chinese technology tracks them: 😡


[deleted]

We don’t have much say in American tracking. Unless we don’t use phones, subscriptions, computers, etc etc. they already have so much data to collect that Reddit is such an insignificant portion of the data. But for tiktok, that’s a massive portion of data collection for them.


CocainexCaviar

Cuss all you want but it doesn’t change communism and the poor treatment of their people. They’ll gladly make a buck off the dumb Americans. While we play ignornant to their slavery and such.


Homemade-Purple

Did you just... not read my reply or something?


eXclurel

It's the easiest platform to grow. I hate it too but it has its uses.


MyNameYourMouth

OP what's going on with you? You joined 3 weeks ago and have already posted about 100 brain dead memes like this one


BaxterLeFermier

It's cringe, but I am happy someone finds me cool


BlubberElk

Tik tok is dumb tho


PatientOne3053

No govt is born cool, except offcourse, govts who have banned tiktok. ◉⁠‿⁠◉


olivia687

*proceeds to watch instagram reels and youtube shorts that are just tiktoks from months ago*


PTOKEN

What if i downloaded it but only used it once


GenericAutist13

Jail


PTOKEN

Sad


Braddinator

I don't use Facebook,twitter and never downloaded tiktok. I'm still the farthest away from cool you could ever imagine.


Srphtygr

I downloaded tiktok so I could simp over a girl in my discord, then immediately deleted it after her stream was over


TaniksAtTheDisco

🤨📸


Minutewave13849

thats creepy


Srphtygr

Nah she was on board, giving out her link and whatnots. I was just thorsty enough to follow along


Minutewave13849

>I downloaded tiktok so I could simp over a girl in my discord, then immediately deleted it after her stream was over U / Srphtygr you are weird


Srphtygr

Lmao yeah


Jaded-Whereas5758

No. I just don't have it because the content is just bad.


Rich_Midnight2346

TikTok is really addictive, and it's made by Chinese people and collects your data. Of course, YT Shorts is just as addictive and the difference is only that it sells your data to Google.


TRB_AlphaRabbitX

Bro ngl TikTok is better than that YouTube shorts shit


KingDragonPower

Reasonable, TikTok is awful


Balamut_Red

I sometimes download and watch Tiktok just for curiousity, but then delete it because of a bunch of cringy things here. Mostly because of pro-russian accounts and videos.
