    If you are actually serious about asking, then I’m sure you can find no shortage of articles interviewing doctors regarding the perils of social media on young minds, or news reports linking dozens of teen suicides to the network. That’s a rabbit hole that’s deep enough that some psychologists have dedicated their entire careers to studying it. The problem isn’t unique to TikTok, it just happens to be one of the worst offenders, considering how popular the short video format is, compared to something like Twitter.

    I feel like, judging from the tone of your comment, that you’re not really interested in knowing, so I’m not going to bother linking you anything.

      News reports and interviews aren’t exactly peer reviewed science?

        Peer reviewed science.

        Listen, we both know your mind is made up. You’re not actually interested in the science. Let’s not pretend you are, or that you’re open to changing your mind on the matter.

        Now, I’m not saying you have to admit you just desperately want TikTok to keep being a thing. I’m not saying that, because I don’t have the patience to sit here and waste time arguing with you, so I’m going to block you immediately after writing this. That way, I don’t have to listen to you move the goalposts, and you can get back to doomscrolling through dance videos. We both save time.

        Don’t bother replying.

          My eyes rolled out of my head reading this. Take a massive chill pill. Holy shit.

            You commented on a thread you weren’t a part of, just to tell me you rolled your eyes.

            Thanks for that valuable contribution, but you don’t need to let me know when your body does something.
