TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.
The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.
the issues with tiktok started when it was first announced. It’s sad that it got “heroified” through the gaza events
Which issues are you talking about? That it collects as much data as Insta and Snapchat?
But you don’t hear shit about those two, because 1. They’re owned by US companies who handed user data to the US from day 1 and 2. They were never used for organizing against the regime.
The issues I’m talking about is that the US was influencing the algorithm.
well, yes most people dont know that about instagram and snapchat, but I do, main reasons why I was refusing both since years. I think tiktok is worse. I still hear people admitting it is much more addictive than facebook’s platforms. that they are surprised how quickly it learns your “interests”. and part of the app’s functionality in code when it is opened? it is changing how it works when it detects a debugger? it behaved like malware from the beginning. it was spreading surprisingly fast too, I can’t believe it was organic growth. at some point it was preinstalled bloatware on all new phones, besidss the ranks of facebook and twitter, maybe still is.
