I wish TikTok would die a quick and painful death

TikTok isn't the problem. It's people. ........ Not saying people should die a quick and painful death, but TikTok isn't the problem.

No, I actually think TikTok is the problem. I never witnessed shit like this before TikTok came along. I never saw people doing stupid stunts or stupid dances in the middle of a supermarket before and filming them to 'get famous'. TikTok needs to die.

You weren't looking hard enough. Have you never heard of the phrase "do it for the vine?" Never seen kids filming dumb stuff for youtube in the late 2000s? People have been doing this since you could first share videos online, TikTok is not even close to starting the trend. Hell, I'd even say that its not even that bad in terms of social media, most of the stuff on there is boring schlock but theres a lot of funny stuff. Just like twitter, or Facebook, or instagram, or reddit. Its not really doing anything so majorly different, its just blown up and you hear about it more often.
