One thing to watch out for will be the treatment of divisive topics. It's eaten up so much of classic social media players because divisive content does well in terms of raw engagement, but it's not been my experience on TikTok. I wonder if there is explicit anti-divisiveness bias in the consumption experience.
- romwell 5y agoI really like the comment you made, as it's constructive: "I wonder what makes TikTok different from other social networks regarding divisiveness" is an interesting question that adds value to the discussion. It's an invitation to ponder, research, and share perspectives. It differs from the ones before it: "You like it now, but give it time, it will be bad just like the rest" is not a statement of the same kind. It's little more than dull cynicism.
- freedomben 5y agoI'm in agreement with your perspective, but: > See, you just made a constructive comment! Came off as very patronizing, and even infantilizing. GP is not even part of the disagreement above. They just made a good comment. It seems like you are lumping them together with the others that you are bothered by. If you just removed the quoted section then you're reply is otherwise great.
- romwell 5y agoPoint taken, comment fixed, thanks for the feedback!
- freedomben 5y agoYou're welcome! Thanks for sharing your perspective :-)
