I mean, I agree that in an ideal world, people would just not use TikTok, and let it die. But they use it, because it hijacks their dopamine response, it uses pavlovian and skinnerian conditioning to trap people into cycles of behavioral control, and they don't know or care enough to stop using it. It's literally the same thing a drug like weed does to your dopamine receptors.

And you could say "just don't use it yourself", the problem is this mass compliance leaks onto every other platform. Stories/shorts were a Snapchat issue, now they're an internet issue. Everyone is getting brainwashed, and as a result, we get shit software spilling over from their shit platforms.

Maybe I got a little too doomer with this one, but how could I not, when taking about modern day social media...
