Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.
Now to ban all the rest of them. Let's start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be "helped" off the cliff.
I generally agree with you, but I have to laugh at the fact that this is the first point you make about the danger of TikTok.
I've always wondered if 100 years from now people will look at kids using social media in a similar way to how we look at kids using tobacco products today.
