[TikTok in China versus the United States | 60 Minutes]
This was around the time I decided that I didn't care what happened to TikTok.

I have a 1st grader and one day she said she wants to be youtuber when she grows up. She learned this from her peers.
Prior to this answer, she wanted to be a doctor.
I asked her what happened to being a doctor, and she says, she can be both (thank goodness, probably the best answer I can wish for).
When I was growing up I remember some said they wanted to be Barbie, or GI Joe.
Cultural influence will always be a “thing” as it were. Doesn’t mean it stays a primarily thing or wha t have you. I don’t think it says anything meaningful about someone’s future per se
I'm begging of you please let me login.
Douyin, Douyin, Douyin, Douyin,

Your algorithm's like TLC,
the cable channel, how it used to be,
serving education, not cheap junk vids.

As someone who grew up in the edutainment 90s, I'm starting to think that there might actually have been something to the CTA et al. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulations_on_children%27s_te... )
It seems as if the regulations have just been weakened over the years, and they're of course nonexistent with streaming and cable. Maybe that should change. Tiktok is just one of the starker examples of a company that COULD be using its algorithmic power for good and choosing to use it for greed, the well-being of users be damned.
