#2Tiktok has been on a crusade of late and removed millions of videos which has severely deteriorated the user experience.

#3TikTok is a strange one - It has some great content, but if you scroll through the home feed, you still stumble on pictures of kids dancing and lipsyncing in... inappropriate ways.
I think this is a pretty limiting barrier to entry for a lot of users.

#4Every time I read "tiktok" I have flashbacks from one of paymoneywubby's video [0]. This platform is at the very least extremely disturbing.
It's mild but I'd tag it as NSFW.

I loaded TikTok to look at it to see if it could be useful to a some of our clients as an adjunct to twitter and Instagram and I found it creepy.
I suspect that both of our clients will not Be Using TikToc

#8I've been suspicious of TikTok since I've heard of it.
So you're making some social media / video sharing app... not that the world needs another one, but fine, whatever.
Why on earth do you need to spend money on advertising? I've seen multiple ads on YouTube. I know I'm not the target audience, so that had to be expensive.
If you've got funny content, then it'll get posted around, and you'll attract viewers to your site and app. Spending millions on advertising seems weird and creepy to me. But maybe it is just that I'm old.

I'm sorry, what? What's supposed to be strange about this? They have a product, why would it be "creepy" that they advertise it?

How do you suggest they get rid of those (without an untenably-large moderation staff)?
