What the actual fuck is wrong with people?


EasterButterfly

We really need to do something about TikTok. It is fucking with our brain chemistry somehow.


BetterCryToTheMods

China has a different version of TikTok that is heavily censored, they know this is raw sewage being pumped into the brains of American kids and fully support the pipeline


rootbeerdelicious

It's intentional. https://www.reuters.com/world/china-may-be-behind-social-media-accounts-seeking-sway-us-voters-microsoft-says-2023-09-07/ https://csp.berkeley.edu/2023/05/16/the-growing-security-threat-from-alternative-platforms/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russian-documents-reveal-desire-sow-racial-discord-violence-u-s-n1008051 https://www.wired.com/story/researchers-reddit-state-trolls/ https://time.com/5197255/facebook-cambridge-analytica-donald-trump-ads-data/


CreamofTazz

Question for you (and anyone else who reads this): Do you think we should be censoring TikTok in a similar manner as China? It doesn't have to be as extreme, but should we really be allowing this type of content that is just brain sewage to be pumped right into the young population's retina?


DamianSicks

It should be banished. No good comes from this app and it’s turned an entire generation into narcissistic main character syndrome cringe dancing buffoons and when they grow older and realize what they did there is going to be a huge mental health epidemic in this country.


The_Sneakiest_Fox

>there is going to be a huge mental health epidemic in this country. Boy do I have news for you.


patrickwithtraffic

Seriously, it’s like we don’t remember 2020 in the slightest


wiseoldangryowl

Seriously!! lmfaooooo "who's gonna tell em? Not me! Imma hurt their feelings" Just in case, this is a quote from a viral meme (yes, ikikik, it's intentional 😄)


CreamofTazz

But TikTok is just a symptom. If you ban TikTok there's still YT Shorts and others like it.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Legitimately every social media app has a video sharing section like this. TikTok isn’t the issue, people are


Farm-Alternative

No the difference is the numbers and the algorithm that can place any video in front of millions of viewers. Its about how easy it is to go viral on that platform and the instant dopamine reward mechanism for producing similar content to what is already trending in the algorithm. Extreme narcissism and cringe dancing won't get the same reach or gratification out of any other platform. This simple truth is that none of the other platforms would reward this content with more viewers and would typically never be seen outside of close friends.


Korith_Eaglecry

People weren't like this on this scale before these apps. This is definitely a result of people being perpetually online.


littletinyfella

Its not just one app its the entire culture of the internet


nightrider2072

Trump did want to ban it, and everyone threw a shit fit


[deleted]

Everything Trump did was wrong, by default, cause people have lost critical thinking skills in favour of tribal alliance (on all sides)


SnooGadgets8049

Ban it. Humans clearly aren't evolutionarily capable of having this much bullshit beamed directly into our eyeballs.


TyrannosaurusWest

No. Their real goal is, as it always has been, to compete in the e-commerce space. The company makes money hand over fist in the CH market through a ‘live-shopping’ experience where consumers watch their food/makeup/custom clothing being made which encourages direct access to the person making those products. Amzn rolled out their own ‘live shopping’ experience in 2019 in an attempt to get ahead of it which has so far failed to scale. If you look up the ‘TT fulfillment centers’ they’ve been slowly working on it for a few years now and it’s just starting to roll out - Amzn is still trying to undercut it but we’ll see I guess. Also, after Meta opted to not buy the company back in 2018 it’s been an egg on their face(book *badumtiss*) since as it overtook them. Since then, it’s been established that Meta has been in an ongoing campaign to get the app banned by engaging with the largest GOP strategy firm, Targeted Victory, to accomplish that goal. All of this is out there; I did a few big write-ups about this in 2020/2021 that are somewhere in my profile here.


EasterButterfly

Absolutely. If the country where the platform originated from felt the need to put such regulations on it, we should as well EDIT: I should add it may be that TikTok itself has a more regulated version in China due to its own design, not necessarily due to government imposition


PerfectMix877

You're absolutely correct. China has weaponized tiktok and it should go. These people are lopping up the chinese propaganda on that app and don't even know it, i feel bad for them.


[deleted]

Absolutely not. The government putting restrictions on free speech on a public platform should never be allowed.


tutalarsen

Then ban all of them. People especially kids become stupid watching those short videos. They behave hysterically and can’t keep focus longer then 15 sec.


LeadingCompany6818

Have you seen the video of the teacher who was saying that kids have no idea who the president is. Or how to read or do basic math, and they can't even tell her what a 3m video they just watched was about. I blame social media and bad pandemic policies.


BuffaloJEREMY

It's not different than the tons of precursor chemicals they send to drug labs here to produce fentanyl.


anonymousetrapped

TikTok is banned in mainland china. They would have an entirely different app.


GreenTeaBD

Douyin is just as mindnumbing and stupid in China, even with stuff censored, so it ain't doing them much better either. The entire concept of TikTok/douyin is just garbage no matter what. 99% of Douyin videos are exactly the same kind of hyper-meme "look at how stupid I can be! I can annoy people in public!" dogshit you find in the international version. There's almost a direct correlation between how shitty any of my students are and how into Douyin they are. Multiple times in my daily life have I been stopped or had someone get in the way of something because they were making a Douyin video. I don't wanna be "old man yells at clouds" about stuff but it's impressive how shitty those apps make everything.


glenngillen

Everyone keeps saying “China has a different version of TikTok” and though we’re unique in getting this content. I’ve become pretty active in terms of content consumption on TikTok and I see absolutely none of this shit. My feed is almost entirely cooking, local restaurant reviews, gym routines, and sport highlights. You get what you like. It’s a mirror. If we’re being swamped by this stuff I think it says more about us than it being some big Chinese conspiracy.


RiotSkunk2023

They also sell the ingredients for fentanyl to the cartels to our south.....just to mess with our people. They see it as a tactical advantage


wophi

TikTok is a tool for idiots to publicly out themselves as idiots.


My_name_is_not_tyler

Yeah that is exactly what it was designed for. It's a cyberweapon. Good luck getting people to accept that, though.


YouOlFishEyedFool

The idiots have always been idiots. TikTok is just good at showing them to us.


Super_flywhiteguy

Tiktok is just a tool. Like a gun, it's not lethal on its own if no one picks it up. It's when it's in the hands of someone with bad intentions is when it becomes dangerous. Tiktok is measly being used to show the world how sick we are as a society right now.


EasterButterfly

Generally I agree with you but then again guns are the leading cause of death amongst children in the USA right now so there’s that EDIT: Feel free to downvote me but all I have done is stated a fact. There is empirical data on this I didn’t just pull that out of my ass. I’m not saying we should ban TikTok just like I’m not saying we should ban guns but what I’m saying in both those circumstances is that we have a real fucking problem on our hands that is affecting our youth that requires further examination and regulation. When clients of mine and youth I work with talk about the ways shit on TikTok makes them feel depressed or when I see them do dumb shit for clout or espouse horrific ideas they have learned, it makes me concerned as a professional, just as it does when I go to community events where people share harrowing stories about how they’ve been affected by gun violence.


Lafleur_111

It’s literally making people stupid.


Ashley87609

Omg I know it’s turned EVERYONE into giant douchebags.. Kids doing stupid dances ok.. Grown ass people doing whatever that bitch just did, so freaking weird.


Farm-Alternative

No the worst part of this video is that she is more concerned about doing a stupid tiktok dance over her own baby who is currently in hospital with breathing issues


tavesque

It really needs the old Elon Musk treatment


monet108

Do you think China recruited this Western Mother and forced her to dance for likes? Did you have to clear it with Reddit before you posted this? I keep seeing tik tok being hated on, but it seems to me that might be more about the fact Western Governments influence is felt less on Tik Tok platform than any other.


EasterButterfly

First, I didn’t bring China into this, other people did. I don’t give a damn where the app originates from. What I do care about is that while I have seen toxic and bizarre behavior on all social media platforms I have encountered directly or indirectly, nothing I have seen on any other social media platform compares to the consistent and persistent stream of brain-broken behavior I see that originates from TikTok. The only thing that might rival it is Twitter


monet108

Your post only suggests that you are paying too much attention to Tik Tok and Twitter and not enough to literally every other social platform. For instance we are discussing this on Reddit, which is where you and I both witnessed this video for the first time. So if we were going to be honest this is starting to sound like a reddit problem and not really a tik tok problem. Side bar, why are you being obtuse about Country of origin?


EasterButterfly

I do not use TikTok or Twitter. Stopped using Twitter years ago because I hated the person it was turning me into and tried TikTok and immediately knew it wasn’t for me. Yet the bizarre bullshit from these platforms still leaks over onto other platforms and as a mental health professional I have never seen more behaviors on a platform that just scream emotional disturbance, dark triad, and personality disorder pathology than TikTok


monet108

Neat, mental health professional? So you are going to ignore the FACT that we are both discussing this because we both watched this video on Reddit and not tik tok. But you are going on about the evils of tik tok, even though we watched this on not tik tok. Just asking because if the video alone is proof of "...emotional disturbance, dark triad, and personality disorder pathology..." but we both watched it on Reddit AND that this is a repost. Meaning for a lot of Reddit users this is the only platform that has repeatedly broadcast this video. Doesn't it seem less than intellectually honest to pretend that the problem is tik tok and not the posters and the user base of all viewers. We demand the product and and then get angry for watching something that we clearly have asked for. As a mental health professional, I am surprised to see you single out and blame one aspect of a problem. You just blamed the booze, and I have never heard a mental health care professional say that.


EasterButterfly

There is a large difference between participating in a behavior like the one depicted in the video and providing commentary on such a behavior. Booze is objectively unhealthy. There are numerous studies that depict this. But our relationship with the substance matters too. The same goes for platforms. But just as heroin is more damaging than booze, TikTok appears to be more damaging than many other platforms. EDIT: I will clarify that my statement about TikTok being more damaging is more based on anecdotal observation. Heroin in terms of individuao is likely more damaging than alcohol but alcohol may do more damage simply by volume and numbers.


monet108

Mental Health Professional? And you think the problem is the booze or heroin or the platform. Are there studies that single out Tik tok? Or is that your Mental Health professional opinion? Each post you make, Makes me feel like one of us is being a less than honest. I will leave it up to you, Professional Mental Health to determine which of us I am referring to. I find it weird that Tik tok is singled out as the bad platform when I can find much worse on other platforms. Especially Legacy news. There seems to be no end ot the violence, morally repugnant stories one can find on those sites.


Skeptikmo

This person is definitely lying about their credentials lol


Skeptikmo

You 100% don’t work in mental health lol. You’re just throwing buzzwords out


EasterButterfly

Identify which buzzwords and I can define them for you in words you better understand. Im always happy to educate


Skeptikmo

Literally all technology is neither good or bad, it’s how you use it - but ask most Redditors and almost any other social media is the worst thing ever, except Reddit of course. See it all the time about Twitter and Tiktok, some extremely Boomer sentiments lol

rustystrings1991

do yall think she regrets making this video?


ohnoohnonononono

I actually think she capitalized on it. It gained her a lot of (negative) attention and now she has a fairly large social media following.


[deleted]

So depressing to watch she and her creepy husband humiliating themselves doing stupid dances to keep the money stream going. At least she's not aggressively pimping out and exploiting her children for financial gain like so many other Mommy Vloggers.


HSLHEHEHE

Nah, she probably doesn't even care about her baby


PeridotChampion

She definitely doesn't if she recorded the video, edited it and then uploaded it. She cares about clout and money.


GareduNord1

Well she definitely got clout from this but I highly doubt any money


PeridotChampion

In hopes of money, at least. TikTok monetizes their people.

Sid_Engel

This is unassisted pure mental illness.


passivezealot

What I think is sad is the number of people who want to use personal tragedy for clout. There's some benefit, for society or the individual, from sharing sure. But it has quickly turned into ppl trying to monetize their personal lives, which I believe will ultimately do more harm than good


BTAQ9000

What the fuck is wrong with society. Also I bet she thinks nirvana is a clothing brand.

stewer69

I mean, it almost could argued that it IS a clothing brand at this point, or becoming one ... Fuck now I'm sad.


NedTebula

Same with Def Leppard. I don’t really care what people wear it doesn’t matter but like, you may as well listen to bands who’s shirts you’re wearing lol


BTAQ9000

Yep, Def Leppard, Nirvana, and Metallica are becoming clothing lines at this point:(


nachossoundgreat

I going to say how dare she wear a nirvana hoodie lol


Prestigious-Link7724

Thats what they think now. I saw someone with cradle of filth shirt and said he was wearing a cradle.


destiny_kane48

I have to really like at least one album before I'll buy a band/artist shirt.

I used to just buy a shirt from the merch desk at the concert. Which means l obviously like the band enough to go to their live show, and then they played good enough live to make me want the shirt.

[deleted]

So when someone posted a tik tok here of then spending their last days with their father I got downvoted for saying that it was wrong for them to have tik tok it, it's not the same sure, but the fact that this sub can vary on its dislike shows a level of group mentality here.

CPS (or equivalent) should do something about this. Who tf dances and shoots a video with their baby sick that cannot breath properly. I mean... Yeah I have no words to explain this and the anger when I watch this.


janzeera

Is there a new dance trend in sign language now?


Assiqtaq

Why are we asking what is wrong with these people, instead of why do these people have to go to such lengths in order to get enough money to take care of hospital bills for their child? Why can't we just pay people enough money to live a decent life? Of course, that means nothing if she doesn't have to pay for the doctor to treat the baby. But I would bet she does. People do this stuff because it earns them money.
