> It was just that for the past months every time someone forwarded me a stupid video I was supposed to like, it had a TikTok logo on it. So in my view this became the source of "stupid videos people bother me with". Not exactly a charming quality. This quote comes to mind: > I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV0wTtiJygY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV0wTtiJygY

I never liked TikTok or this kind of random videos or pics people share. No matter where they came from (it used to be a site called "Dumpert" in the Netherlands before which is also on my "highly annoying" list). I'm just too polite to tell them to piss off with their videos :P That's really the core problem here. But TikTok associates itself by putting their logo on the videos which is something I haven't seen before.

  > But TikTok associates itself by putting their logo on the videos which is something I haven't seen before. It's just content watermarking. Watermarking is essential to preserve your brand online. I assume you remember eBaumsWorld - and how they put their watermark and footer on all image-content that they rehosted: because those images would appear verbatim in FW:FW:FW... chain emails and shared over AIM,YIM,MSN,IRC, etc. Back in the day, eBaumsWorld and others were criticized for putting their watermark on content that they rehosted, especially when they didn't own, produce, or commission that content. At least the vast majority of the content on TikTok was directly uploaded to it, and TikTok's watermark includes the username of the relevant account. Their animated logo is obnoxious and distracting - but when I compare it to the DOGs on American TV news channels it isn't so bad, it's actually unobtrusive in comparison.
