I'm honestly surprised more content creators on TikTok haven't raised a stink about this from what I've seen. Agree with it or not, for some people this is their livelihood.

IIRC TikTok is rather top heavy in terms of income and this highest tier of influencers is diversified across all media channels anyway.

Regular folk have better luck making money on YouTube and Instagram so TikTok creators are unusual bunch. In my experience (which is very likely shaped by the algorithm) they are a mix of talent show performers, odd personalities and no longer relevant one hit wonders that got lucky. They’re mostly sad about losing that space because it’s so different to alternatives. I don’t think anyone that doesn’t have much money feels in power anymore so what are they going to do?

Yeah, but those affiliate links made people bank, especially during the holidays.

I actually got like half my ideas and my daughters from the tiktok shop. (Then went and bought it on Aliexpress)

Do it. Let the US be a closed censored state like it desperately wants to be.

They'll even put the hashtag #freespeach when they deliver their ban.

Do it. Let the hate flow through you.

Should Facebook be banned in China?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

It already is, and yes.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Already is, but should we compare US and China in terms of censorship?

Don't tell me, a .ml user came here to complain about whataboutism.

Dumn liberals, only tankies get to do concern trolling and whataboutism.

TikTok might start being not shit after this, but I'm not risking exposure until I have confirmation
