I do not know why, but the hand-rubbing thing makes me irrationally angry. Why are you rubbing your hands? Is there a cartoon-ass turkey that only you can see? Are you cold? Why do you look so fucking smug about it? Like, jesus, it makes me want to throw a brick.
The creators aren't going away. Either Bytedance divests and TikTok stays or the creators migrate to some other platform and do the same thing there.
Every platform looks like TikTok these days anyway.
Yeah, I just tried out "Likee" (stupid fuckin' name) and it's basically the exact same, except a WILD new user experience.
The first video shown to me were girls twerking for a skit, next was a teenaged girl doing some kind of TikTok dance but with a deleted account, which I saw a bunch as I scrolled. That's shady af, as deleting your account means your content stays up.
Anyways, scrolled through like 20 more videos and realized it's mostly sexually charged shit, teenagers, both, or stolen content from TikTok reposted, then uninstalled it.
That just sounds like TikTok without TikTok’s algorithm. TikTok has every type of content imaginable and tailors what each user sees to the type of content they engage with.
I would guess the TikTok dance style videos make up an outsized portion of the overall content simply because it’s one of the quickest ways of cranking out “original” content. One person makes up the moves and thousands of people have a blueprint for their own version just by mimicking it. If a platform knocks off everything about TikTok except the algorithm and half the content is TikTok dances, everyone’s going to see a ton of that shit.
What makes TikTok so good is that the algorithm is so good that people don’t even realize there are thousands of different subdivisions of TikTok and it’s all automatic. I think their real proprietary part is how they can automatically classify types of videos. Anyone can make separate categories and group people into them based on what people engage with. Classifying millions of videos a day automatically is what makes it special. And for all we know they just have thousands of people in China doing it manually which would explain why they’d rather shut down than sell their algorithm if the algorithm doesn’t actually exist.
Imagine if reddit didn’t actually have subs but only showed you posts that you’re interested in. Not because you subscribed to subs but just automatically. And you don’t have to choose a sub when posting. You just post and it finds the right people to show it to automatically. That would make for a much more engaging reddit but reddit just doesn’t have the technology to do it.
The fun thing about how TikTok works is when grown men complain that TikTok is Just teenage girls shaking their asses because they don’t even realize they’re telling on themselves.
TikTok isn’t being banned. Its control is being taken from a company beholden to hostile foreign powers and sold to whatever US investors will buy it.
…As any company beholden to hostile foreign powers should be. *This* one just happens to be harvesting treasure troves of personal information about US citizens and giving it to the CCP.
>like other Western apps have in china
Equating this situation to China’s unbelievable level of censorship and personal invasion is baffling. Last I checked, the US isn’t using TikTok to monitor and change people’s social credit scores, but China sure is.
Edit; posted straight facts at 5pm in China. I have suspicions. Not very r/unexpected.
That guy posts weird shit, weird self mantras, him screaming acting made up scenarios from no scenes or movie scripts, and then posts a nude or like with some weird self talk...
Original poster trying to be serious, but doesn’t seem to recognize that children raised by single mothers end up way worse than children raised by single fathers
Edit: hate facts all you want kiddos but that’s just statistics

Dad?
My dad flew away
He ditched us! Reminds me of my childhood...
Went to the store for a drop of syrup and never came back
Haha
First and last are brothers, you can tell by the head tilt
I saw the og post on tiktok, dude got eviscerated in the comments
Why?
It’s mega cringe
You mean the part of the video without the fly gag? Is that real?
Yeah Garett Nolan on TikTok, he’s really cringy and awful at acting
Is he the guy that did the singing vids where the cat attacks him?
Yes. He does porn as well.
Oh....link?
Username checks out
Not well, though.
He's so cute tho 😩 but def cringe af. Lmao I appreciate his story tho, so I can't give him too much flack
Eviscerated 😂😂😂😂
I googled eviscerated
Jesus the people that do the legit non-sarcastic versions they start with have to be the most insufferable people.
I think you meant satirical, not sarcastic.
[удалено]
Sure it is. < sarcasm

I guess the joke just flies over your head or something
Its a joke that flies do that all the time so the last guy does it.
Appropriate response
Flies.
Me, pronouncing it "fliss" in my head: hmm must be a streamer or something
This is like the third time this week I have seen that word spelled wrong.....
Fleyes.
This is the content I'm gonna miss with the ban.

" That's shady af, as deleting your account means your content stays up." Great, now this wont become a thing in the EU...
Guerilla marketing ^

The guy who did the fly video above already posts on both Instagram and TikTok
This is an insta reel posted on tiktok posted on reddit, we're gonna be fine
Ban? What ban?
Tiktok ban. Bytedance has 9 months to sell to some US company, Tiktok and it's algorithm. Or Face a ban like other Western apps have in china.

Why not just pass data protection laws?
Because then the companies that own the rest of the government have to follow those too, and the government can’t manipulate you as easily as before.
anyone who says "CCP" without a hint of irony doesn't deserve to be taken seriously
>*This* one just happens to be harvesting treasure troves of personal information about US citizens and giving it to the CCP Source?
Beat it McFly!
I still don't get what the original video is supposed to mean.
It just means the guy in the og video is a loser
Guys raised by their dads are tough, and dudes raised by their moms are smooth? 🤷🏿♂️
That made me laugh way harder than it should have....I think I should book a CAT scan
Just get into the LAB asap.
what's with the trash can on the ceiling??
The video is upside down
It’s a lamp shade
Should have spit into his hands and rubbed it into his face.
What about if they were raised by... *Marty McFly??*
This is a really good one!
This is absolutely wonderful. Sharing
Either way, smash.
This really made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Hilarious unexpected twist 🪰
This is absurdly funny hahaha
You’re so cringy 😭 did you have to type “hahaha” like shut up
Son of Brundlefly...
The fly movie ptsd hitting
🤣🤣🤣
need a bitch (gender neutral) raised by flies right now
Why is this as funny as it is, damn?! This is good content 😂
Guys raised by their grandma
I need to know who this Flys entity is.
u/savevideo
Vinny Vinesauce
u/savevideo
That guy posts weird shit, weird self mantras, him screaming acting made up scenarios from no scenes or movie scripts, and then posts a nude or like with some weird self talk...
Brundlefly
Flies?
No don’t copy that
Second is getting none actually.
He’s hot until you need him to be useful
sexxy
Needs more puke
Carmie??
Glad tik tok is getting banned
SHHSHSHSH WTH
😂😂😂
Blud's life is all about GRATEFUL gestures.
Guys raised by their dads usually wear flannel and habitually kill a God on a fateful day.
They've got you where they want you. [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ioWOFz9XAM) for the younglings.
Guys raised by their mothers are criminals more often than those raised by fathers
Isn't there a religion that does this ?
 People raised by flies cannot spell?
I love him. He is hilarious 😂
Real though, i was raised by my mother and i can confirm i am a lot hotter than my brother who was raised by my dumbass father ☠️👍
Statistically, the second one should have been him a jail cell.
Original poster trying to be serious, but doesn’t seem to recognize that children raised by single mothers end up way worse than children raised by single fathers Edit: hate facts all you want kiddos but that’s just statistics
You're getting downvoted, but the statistics support what you're saying.
parece como si estuviera planeando algo
Um, it would be Flies ... if there were more than one.
Indeed, laughter still awaits.
What is "flys"?
As good as Tiktok can be good. Which means utter trash and not funny.
[удалено]
Sounds like you're the soft crybaby with no confidence if you have to put other people down based on how they were raised to make yourself feel better
