I love how tiktuk is so stupid, people actually believe that this is a TREND, when in reality nobody even knows anyone did this (if its even real, which its probably not) this just reminded me of the "set yourself on fire challenge" which supposedly was VERY trend on tiktak. I asked my friends that use the dumpster and no one knew what I was saying.

Apparently Tiktok has like 2 BILLION(!!) users. As crazy as that is, if even 0.01% of users is doing some dumb crazy thing, thats pptentially 200 000 kids injuring themselves or whatever when they wouldn't otherwise. Its not a trend among the majority of users, but it is a trend that was spread by tiktok.

Isn't it a Chinese company? They probably make up the majority of the demographic.

Well yeah but thats a lot of people globally. My point is just that something doesnt have to be widespread on tiktok for it to stull reach a significant amount of people.

There's many different sides of tiktok, and there's a chance that your friends just haven't seen it (not saying it's real).

For example, I'm sure they haven't seen fur suit construction videos.

True, tiktok is amazingly good at creating bubbles. Once you're classified you'll never know there are other bubbles out there, there's very little overlap.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar 6 points 1 day ago

Unless you click on one single video outside of your bubble, then that's all you see

I love how tiktuk is so stupid, you didn't realize this was obvious satire

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ehm, somewhere in my comment, that was exactly my point. Upon re-reading it however, I realize, I haven't articulated myself very well.

In that case, I'm sorry for the snark!
