    The need for untalented young people to get attention and gratification from others is impossible to stop and endless. Tiktok is an evolution of snap and YouTube.
    Now that you can monetize , people are addicted for the quick fame. Especially the young.
    They doing dangerous challenges and stunts to get that attention.

    as the one dimensional and non tech aware D&D compared it to television shows because they only talk about really one thing, technology and truth fly over their heads

    No, Faux News is ACTIVELY trying to make their readers and watchers dumber. Their website is race-baiting (cherry-picking to highlight criminal activities by minorities, while down-playing crimes of whites and Trump’s demographic supporters). The comments section on the website is basically a white supremacy hangout.

    Cable news networks and tiktok are not similar

    that’s like saying soccer and bass fishing is the same

    but I understand it’s just people here wanting only one topic like this is North Korea

    actually this place is ruled by one party

    What Is TikTok’s Primary Product and Source of Revenue?
    TikTok is an app that allows users to create and share short videos. It comes with an extraordinarily wide range of features that users can employ, from music clips to famous TV show moments to other TikTok videos.

    If that overall description of TikTok sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because it’s somewhat reminiscent of the app Vine, which was all the rage in 2013. Due at least in part to the popularity of Vine, video as a method of expression — and generating revenue — exploded in the mid-2010s, popularized still further with the explosive growth of Snapchat, Instagram (owned by Facebook) and YouTube.

    ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, reportedly generated $17.2 billion in revenue in 2019 alone. About 2/3 of this amount was from domestic ads on the Chinese version of TikTok, dubbed Douyin. Additional revenue came in the form of live streaming, games and ecommerce.

    You're right, none of you are right

    1. CABLE NEWS = COMPANY CREATED CONTENT

    2. SOCIAL MEDIA = USER CREATED CONTENT
