    Yes, but that describes all social media with engagement algorithms.

    The only discernible difference between TikTok and Reels is foreign ownership, and the article is truncated before it substantiates its claim about the ban protecting free speech.

      The shorts format specifically is extra dangerous, it’s sort of the fentanyl to youtube’s heroin. Their specific algorithm is also unusually effective.

      It’s true that any other social media that successfully copies tiktok’s methods would become just as bad from a health perspective.
