Because it lets adult men watch young scantily clad boys and girls jump around for free. That’s the sick part to me. These kids (and they are kids) are basically soft core porn for pedophiles. And Nike and Amazon subsidize it.
For my sins I’ve wasted many an hour on Tiktok and it’s usually funny videos, memes and other mindless content so you’ve obviously not even seen it.
Honestly, people should need a license to comment on the internet nowadays.... Jeez.
The amount of content produced by people in their 30s and (a lot) over is staggering. You can easily spend hours just scrolling the front page and get stuff you like. And you'll never see any one under 20 unless you specifically go look for that stuff and engage with it.
I do see scantily clad people, but they're mostly in their 30s or 40s. =)
The TokTok algorithm is scary good, it makes Youtube and FB suggestion engines look like someone's high-school project...
And that algorithm is very effective. It's like Google in the 2000's: nobody really knows how it works, and so they can't duplicate it.
Many times I've accidentally watched 5-10 seconds of an ad before I figure out it's an actual ad and not user generated content.
