For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

Once is a hero, but serial is a super hero.

I have no problem with TikTok, their owners, or the company beyond my usual concerns with corporate platforms. They're as bad (maybe even a little less) as American corporate media.

I just stay away from it because I don't think short form doom scrolling videos would be good for my productivity or attention span

Helping humans. I genuinely think it's a terrible idea the long run and there are way way better versions of life on earth.
Do it anyway because of brainwashing.
