Reply to comment by [deleted] in TikTok video saves struggling Vietnamese pho restaurant by ssigea

I've always been so curious and eager to get one, but I'll be damned if I willingly download Spyware on my phone. I know Google isn't that much better, but Tiktok is basically a direct pipeline to China.

You see half the content on other socials anyway tbh

Reddit is a great filter-- instead of gargling a fire hose of raw sewage (TikTok or 4chan), I get purified sips of their best content, with most of the scum scraped off.

When I downloaded the app one of the days in the first week I was on the app I was on it until 5am, just mindless scrolling. Probably was about 7 hours of solid scrolling. And the people on there are so toxic. I deleted it after two months.

Lol. Calling tiktok toxic in reddit. The irony.

I haven't seen the negative comments on here as worse than on TikTok.
