Why the fuck does this dude care so much about one social media platform being available here? Is he perving on dancing teenagers?
tiktok is used by genz and alpha alot, it helps that they would be the next generation of a dying GOP voters which are primarily boomers, Xers, and some milleneals.
Because it’s been an incredibly successful propoganda vector for the youth vote.
Huh. Is that good or bad?
I don’t pay attention to TikTok. I’m not on there.
Bad, it’s why so many of them are magattes.
Very obviously bad. You want educated voters, not propagandized ones.
so basically taxpayers will be paying china for an app that only 2% of the country uses
TikTok’s valuation remains contested, with estimates varying from US$20 billion ($31.8 billion) to more than US$300 billion, depending on whether its algorithm is factored in.
The algorithm increases the price by more than $280 billion. And what kind of algorithm? One that changes its high based on how you interact with it, to always try and get your dopamine flowing to keep you interacting longer. If it were a real substance, it would be the most addictive drug to ever exist.
You could argue if xai paid xitter 45 billion in their latest
money laundering operationacquisition, then TikTok is worth at least ten xittersWtf, do proprietary algorithms actually cost this much?
I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?
He is really so dumb
Oh thank God, I thought the economy was about to collapse or something.
Honestly, I don’t who would be the better owner of Tik Tok at this point…
lmao
