TikTok is terrible and i think this is unironically a good thing, but I'm also not so naive to assume another platform that is identical and probably owned by the same interests, just a step removed, isn't going to take it's place immediately.

I teach so... My comedy take: Making students cry is the only thing that warms my cold, dead heart. My serious take: Short-form content is atomizing attention spans. poo poo like TikTok and ChatGPT are incredibly harmful to student development, and I loving hate that some of my coworkers use the latter to do their job. Like, just loving lock in for an hour or two. It's not going to solve the short-form content problem, though. YouTube Shorts is still there, and I'm sure X and Instagram will poo poo out alternatives.

As I said earlier today, I think social media and influencer culture is stupid, but also think singling out tiktok is stupid.

Sounds like they're throwing away their own golden fash recruitment tool, in the hope everyone will move to their own controlled platforms which the market has already rejected. works for me!
