Microsoft has emerged as the leading candidate to take over TikTok.

The only reason I hate this is bc 1) Everything MS makes works by accident, not design., 2) MS owns LinkedIn. Need I say more? 3) see #2, the same clowns on that site are going to go to TikTok to spew shit about 'value add' and 'relationship building'.

I don't even use TikTok in any capacity, but let the damn kids have fun without trying to mine their data (as much......) or sell to them.

microsoft owns linkedin? i always wondered how linkedin managed to decline so quickly

i haven’t looked at this and probably won’t, but idt anything can truly emulate tiktok. its interface is so addictive, every time i open the app i do so with the knowledge that i’ll be losing at least an hour of my day

I use it until one of the videos play that tell me I should take a break and then I'm like "oh shit you're right"

That being said yesterday I quit quickly because it got too spyish. So the other day a friend posted a titanic meme about karens on the titanic not wearing life vests and I said "that literally happened" and then yesterday my tiktok was showing me titanic videos and like wtf? Too far tiktok.

I always make the same mistake and check it right before going to sleep and suddenly it's 3 am and I have to force myself to close it, I need help.
