TikTok is being banned in the US.
Start celebrating, this might take a bit of a hit on their platform - I get some people just wanna use it, but you cannot deny it’s also a partial cause of a lot of brainrot.
The issue is that apparently TikTok is granting people in the US a huge “Please vote to not ban us” thing. I mean, they even pull bullshit:
"Destroy the livelihoods of countless creators across the country"
Lmao no it won’t, you pay like $20-50 (or $0.04 - Unable to find a source but those are the most common ratios I’ve seen) per 1 million views; Practically lower than my will to live, atleast higher than minimum wage I guess? Meh, I digress. So they are also lying in their own vote to not be banned! How trustworthy!
Plus they (the creators) can just switch platforms and announce that they are moving, sure, they may lose a lot of their fanbase, but atleast they’re moving away from that garbage.
comments (single view)
and hopefully a bit less brainrot as well!
……though now that i think of it the american users that also comment “bro” or other unfunny things will just unfortunately spread to other platforms, so this could be double edged but oh well
(also no i have nothing against americans, its just that gen alpha/z/whatever i dont care about generation stuff is generally cringe and if it just moves to other platfroms that could be a bad thing)
