Yes, but doesn't Instagram by natural vote (based on views) also punish ugly people?
Mainstream social networks no longer connect people.

Whataboutism doesn't help the conversation Edit in response to commenter: Whataboutism is a Meme? It a logical failure and when used it should be dismissed since it highjacks the conversation which is about what tiktok did (which is different from what insta and friends do).

The whole point about whataboutism and how it got used politically is not that it's false. It's just used to distract and redirect conversation.

"tiktok didn't say it, because..." is a counterexample. "Yes. Also at Instagram" is extra information. "Yes, but doesn't Instagram also ..." is still whataboutism.

Only pointing out that finger pointing “whataboutism” isn’t popular here.

A better analog is television, where such practices are completely ingrained in the system. This is also broadly true of their guidelines on political and sexual content as well, making it seem like TikTok was trying to become something like CBS.

Are you responding to the wrong person? I don’t have a horse in this fight. Only pointing out that finger pointing “whataboutism” isn’t popular here.

Not sure about that. Rednecks, hoarders, botched plastic surgery, fat people failing to lose weight, popping pimples and abscess. This is pretty much 1/3 of Discovery Channel lineup. Rest is pseudo history, alien abductions and gun shows.
