You probably uninstalled it before the algo figured out what really hits your engagement, which is the point at which it becomes addictive.

I don’t understand the hype about TikTok anyway. I installed it few weeks ago, and uninstalled few days later because how boring the app is.
I must be old.

You must be 80 if you can’t understand these very basic concepts that attracts kids.

There are more than “kids” using that app. Plenty of adults and military personnel use it for news. Hilarious but true.
To call them all kids means you’re old too. 😊

The main thing that TikTok had going for it was it was open to both left and right contact and it would show you exactly the content you are interested in due to there algorithm.
It being purchased as caused a lot of issues with that feed being laggy and having issues with mostly left wing content spreading what is happening with Ice and stuff.
But yeah a endless scroll-able system isn't for everyone obviously.

I don’t believe that for a minute. The CCP just had more subtle methods for suppressing content critical of them.

The owner is Singaporean not Chinese. Also yes there was plenty of content that I have been able to find that is critical of the CCP

Zhang Yiming? I could only find him denying he’s Singaporean. Everything says he’s Chinese. It could be bullshit if he’s cozying up to the PRC, but that only proves my point.
