“We got rid of the brain cancer. Here, have leukemia instead”

The way I see this is that it’s not TikTok that’s the issue. It’s short form videos.

Short-form vertical video social platforms are here to stay.

We are not going to turn back the clock. I say this as someone who doesn’t use TikTok.

The only semi-realistic (and I use this term very casually) option would be some sort of radical, never-seen-before change in our global societal and socioeconomic models. The dynamics of short form video social media will be the least of our concerns in such a scenario.

The real issue is that these companies are purely for profit and couldn’t give a flying fuck about any negative social implications of their product. Every Le bad thing about any service is just down streamed from this reality of society.
