This Whole Tiktok Ban Deal Is Indeed Terrifying, But The Takes I'm Seeing Man...

This whole tiktok ban deal is indeed terrifying, but the takes I'm seeing man...

You can be against the ban and still not try to paint tiktok as something wonderful and helpful that the government is trying to stop because it "stops their propaganda" or whatever. The influence and popularity of that app is enshittifying every other platform because they're trying to emulate it. The prevalence of short form content is leading to rather obvious tendencies like the shortening of attention spans. Misinformation runs rampant in short video platforms and a vast majority of the audience doesn't care enough to check facts and sources. And since it's the attention economy, what rises to the top is complete garbage with shock value.

Not gonna stand here and deny there aren't good people and good things happening there but for fucks sake do not whitewash that hellhole.

Im sorry I do this to every fandom im in

Thinking back to a funny interaction I had working at Dollar Tree in Rapid City. They would let us play our music on a speaker. This Mexican guy walks up "You're the one who always plays the spanish canciones, right?" (His words not mine)

"Yes, but I don't speak it well" (Thinking he was gonna try to pull out his fluent motherland spanish)

"It's ok, I just need to know, are any of your canciones Christian?"

"No, no christian. Argentinian"(I think Fito Páez was playing at the time)

"Ah" he says, then walks off.

....I still don't know what that interaction was about lol

and looking back, my response was just funny. Like "No sir, no Christian songs, only sinful Argentinian ones😔"

Ramadan Mubarak!!
