Many people like Tiktok & use it. What do you like & dislike about it? I think they are not moderated well & you find so many off the wall videos that are downright dangerous. However, I have watched a few videos from this channel that were informational.

I watch TikTok almost daily during my train ride to work. I prefer TikTok's content opposed to Facebook because I'm not bombarded with ads. TikTok has some kind of advanced algorithm that feeds you content based on what you've marked as liked and have commented on in the past. So while my feed is pretty consistent with people talking about anime, and role playing games, various conspiracy theories, pagan/wiccan/new age spirituality, cooking tips and ADHD topics, I'll get the occasional funny cat video (gotta give the kitty's some love!). Although, I will say that it can be addicting, and I'll have found myself spending the couple of hours it takes me to get to work not really accomplishing much. So perhaps during this next year, I'll try to cut back on my mindless zombie activities. I do have some plans that are needing some attention!
I have seen various people get "shadow banned", and other videos get taken down because they are being moderated, so perhaps in the past TikTok suffered from this problem of a lack of moderation a lot more, however, I haven't seen too much that's dangerous -- however, I have seen some things that can offend you if you can't take a joke.

I had removed it from my phone due to it being Chinese owned. Since that is no longer the case, I need to put it back.

I didn't know that TikTok was sold to a non-Chinese owner.

I think it shows a lot of idiots, I tend to watch some via facebook postings, but I never go to the site directly.

Senkusha, Steve, spice, demonskeith, Galra Keith, I think there's some confusion. TikTok WAS owned then by the Chinese. That's why there was a lot of controversy surrounding it. "In 2021, China's government bought a 1% stake in the main domestic unit of TikTok owner ByteDance. The ownership stake came up in a recent congressional hearing as US lawmakers weigh a TikTok ban." 1% can do damage in the right hands. I'm not against China or the Chinese people, I've met some wonderful people from there but just like in the USA, it's the Government & elite that can do damage even if the rest of the citizens are good.

My spouse like Tiktok, we used to watch tiktoks right before bed but we stopped doing that about a year ago. They still show me tiktoks here and there, they browse it daily though.
