Can we also lump Twitter and Tiktok with it? Is it me or there is a double-standard on HN where FB gets all the heat, but others don't.

- Wiseacre 5y agoI brought up Facebook because they own Instagram, but yes this applies to Twitter and TikTok.
- systemvoltage 5y agoAh, cool. Snapchat too. I think all these are terrible and bad for society. Toxic and unhealthy for kids and adults alike.

- detaro 5y agoLots of criticism in that thread.
- systemvoltage 5y agoTop comment: > I'm a huge fan of TikTok because after years of content stagnation and dullness, the internet is fun again.
- detaro 5y agoSo the "double-standard on HN" is that not literally everybody hates TikTok, and the existence of positive comments counts as TikTok and Twitter not getting criticized, despite there being many comments criticizing them? really? Just for contrast, this is how the second-highest top-level comment starts: > I like to think of TikTok as the crack cocaine of addictive social media. I used to think my dopamine receptors were burned out by the constant barrage of memes I received from reddit, Facebook and Twitter but TikTok proves they can refine that product to make it even more potent. But evil HN is always only criticizing Facebook and letting TikTok get away with everything, sure.
- kingcharles 5y agoLOL TikTok is worse. It lets you login with just a phone number and no password. I can actually log into the TikTok account of the previous owner of my phone number.
