I’ll just say it:
Selling useless shit that kills the planet by keeping billions of people addicted to wasting their finite lives is morally wrong.
Nobody involved, whether it’s the company, influencers, or viewers will look back it from their deathbeds and see any good in it whatsoever.
Nah, plenty of these people will look back fondly on their sports cars, cocaine and lush homes.
who. fucking. cares.
This “article” is straight astroturfing.
Like, there isnt like 90% of ShitTok / YT is just a paid mess of advertisment, sponsorships and self advertisments for their “Prime” flavored drink that gets you cancer if you arent subscribed.
gets you cancer if you arent subscribed
No no, the cancer is a Patreon-exclusive benefit.
Non-Patreons only get lead poisoning and holes in their brain.
Using a billion dollar company app and you want to complain about ads? Don’t fucking use it.
Just the thumbnail of greasy slobs shoveling trash into their mouths is pissing me off.
I honestly don’t get it, but my SO is all over that nonsense. I honestly don’t know why I’d ever want to watch someone else eat.
What does your SO say about it? My SO is into TikTok and sometimes I see her watching odd stuff too. She can’t/hasn’t tried to really articulate why.
They’re just really into food. We watched a Korean cooking competition last night (Culinary Class Wars, basically Michelin star chefs vs other well-respected chefs), and it had a lot of that “watch other people eat” bits, but with some actual entertainment (i.e. descriptions of how dishes are prepared). My SO liked the descriptions of the food (mouth feel and whatnot), whereas I was more interested in the ingredients and cooking process.
I don’t really understand it (food isn’t particularly important to me), and they probably don’t understand my weird fascination with other things (e.g. watching personal finance videos that I strongly disagree with), so I guess we just accept that we’re into different things.
Wasn’t tiktok getting banned? Is that still happening?
