So you have your nose so far up in their business you know exactly what app they're watching and what type of materials they're consuming? I'm going to wager none of the things that you just claimed you've ever witnessed

I know that advertisers love that TikTok knows when a user desires your product. I wonder why they can target you so well? All state sponsored social media, X and Meta and company as well as TikTok, should be avoided if you don't want corporations and capitalists and authoritarians having that much information about you. If you hate corporations trying to sell you things, maybe don't use a dopamine and social habit tracking app that's designed to sell ads to play on your fears

I have never received targeted advertising on tiktok. I can't remember the last time I had seen an ad on there.

oh bless your heart 😌

Apologies for the southern passive aggressiveness, but I believe you may not notice how much content is an ad

I'm doubting you've ever been on there

Why, don't you know there's a thing called observation?

Looks like where your heart truly belong is Mao's China or Stalin's Russia. You've commented quite a lot of things.
