I don't think we need the "China's doing it to us" conspiracy theories, humans have been doing this to themselves forever.
I once got a good deal on a house because a significant number of people in the 21st century still believe in ghosts.
- reactordev 3y agoI never mentioned China. It could be ByteDance, it could be “The Algorithm”, it’s definitely humans. I would have only passed on the deal of the house if it was across from a cemetery. Haunted AND on location? I don’t believe in ghosts but that’s just bad juju. Anywhere else and I’d sign those papers.
- notjoemama 3y agoI’d pass on the house too but not for spiritual or karmic reasons. I’ve seen enough social media to know the cemetery would regularly draw content creators and I wouldn’t want to deal with it. One Logan Paul video and every cemetery is overrun with attention seekers holding their phones at arm’s length.
- notjoemama 3y agoChinese officials have made public statements in support of US accelerationism. There’s also a well documented history of Bytedance in China. It is not a conspiracy theory that China used TikTok to further erode US society. I wish I could recommend a specific YouTube video to link, but there are many now that cover the reality of China and TikTok. I’d recommend watching a couple.
