Whether it was tiktok under China or tiktok under the US I never found myself wanting to use the app and I don't see that changing. I just dislike short form video content sites in general with it being filled with wannabe influencers fighting for attention. In a way its too social for me.

And maybe I'm just a no fun grump, but probably ended up being for the best that it never got its hooks in me.
