Just like how the world is also addicted to Instagram and Facebook before that?
- j_maffe 2y agoTo be fair the world is still as addicted to IG and FB as before, it's just been normalized at this point and FB is having an aging demographic.
- blitzar 2y agoDon't forget MySpace, people loved that site.

- clbrmbr 2y agoThat’s a problem for Europe but not so much the USA. We should not have a Chinese company controlling our information infrastructure to this degree. It’s divestiture or ban, not just a ban.
- thomassmith65 2y agoYes, it's wise to be aware of how fickle the public's attention can be. TikTok will not be around forever, and likely won't be prominent enough to bother discussing a decade from now. The parent comment also has a point, though, because stale trends generally manage to limp along around 60 years or so. Ideas tend really to win out conclusively once the opposing side has died off. So the "culture" that, at Facebook's height of popularity, Facebook fostered, in fact will live on in a certain generation. And all the nonsense that TikTok seems to foster today will, sadly, affect the world for decades after TikTok turns into a nonentity.
