I grew up in a time where you couldn't loiter, I had no money to spend, and social media didn't exist. I still managed to have a lot of fun. Why are people acting like TikTok is some kind of life necessity that they'll die without?

And I'm certain that if TikTok is banned, an American-based competitor will pop right up.

Some of them are paid to act that way, the others are just following the trend. It's how marketing works now, especially if you have zero ethics.
