Every time I see a slideshow on Tik Tok, it seems like it ends with a freaking Temu ad saying some BS about how they partnered with some bigger company like Fornite or Amazon. One of the ones that really gets me is when they have an anti-capitalist slideshow which they end with an advertisement for buying stuff from Temu at a discount. 💀

The app is littered with these bots! I’m certain these are illegal and I can’t believe the app hasn’t cracked down on these yet.

    I don’t think anyone is really going to substantively crack down on a Chinese media company unless it can fit into whatever culture wars are currently afoot in your country… or maybe if China invades Taiwan. But thankfully the enshitification of TikTok is well underway so maybe you won’t have to worry about it much longer.

      If only. TikTok was enshittified from the start, yet people still flocked to it.

        Yeah, but there have already been 2 rounds of creator exoduses and engagement is down, which ups the likelihood of more creators leaving. It’s starting to Tumblr.
