In my country the app is said that it's a target for lower educated people who have no real talents but want attention. They would do anything to get views and likes from like-minded people.
As same as other social media. Feathers flock together. Users can choose who would be their "friends". That's why we can see how narrow a social cycle is. Ones who are interested in the same things get aligned. Ones who have certain values and morals stick together and support each other even though it's not a right thing to do. Thus, other friends that are against those acts, pointing out the flaws are the ones who eventually leave.
I'm terrified how people these days are so sick and lack moral compass. There was a woman (she's my age!) who cheered up another woman to steal a boyfriend of someone else. She commented on the woman's post on FB, "You're on the right path." I think she really needs a psychiatrist. What disturbed me the most was they got lots of likes. What the hell.

These people have always existed, now they just have a platform where they can showcase themselves. Which, unfortunately, makes it seem like a new phenomenon, when it really isn't. It has just taken another shape.
I'm not very familiar how "TikTok" is used in Western countries, because I use the original/Chinese version of it called 抖音 (Douyin) and to be perfectly honest, I only use it to study the fashion trends in East Asia.
I'm not completely sold on the idea that fashion trends cause "cultural degeneration".
For me, I just want to see what other people are wearing and just as importantly HOW they're wearing it and carrying it off.
See what people are wearing on the streets of various Chinese cities below.
I think Douyin / TikTok is like any other tool, like say a kitchen knife: it all depends on how people are using it. You wouldn't throw away the kitchen knife in your kitchen, claiming that people could use it to kills others now would you?
Social media as a whole is the degeneration of the human race. also in real live streaming is a big issue.
facebook, instgram, twitter, snapchat, tik tok, etc.
to many people would rather try to be internet stars these days. instead of trying to learn something useful to better themselves and their families.
part of why the American work force is suffering and big business. are sending most of the lobby jobs over seas.

No, lack of parenting, lack of religious values, and the ceaseless promotion of vice is making people degenerate
TikTok just helped expose how young people are.
They will follow whatever trend the plutocrats tell them to follow
Return to traditionGeorge floyd challenge? Wtf i really doubt there doing it to make a good statement on death penalty. So it's pretty fucked up. And not really people have always done this. Just tic tok supports pedophiles been on there. And don't do anything to ban them.
It makes young women such as Charlie D'amelio famous for dancing in sexually explicit clothing, in a sexually explicit manner, to often times, sexually explicit music. If that is the kind of behaviour it promotes in the culture, then the answer to your question is yes.
It provides you a platform to showcase the talent as every social media its on users how they use I know people get influenced by it but everyone is for themselves as to choose yet tiktok is more visual so it hits quicker and is no different from fb or insta
Yes, TikTok more than others but it’s not just tiktok.
You’ll find tiktok feeds new users, specifically teens, fake followers to get them invested in the platform. It’s creepy and sad. They get their whole life wrapped up in 10000 fake followers. They perform and present on camera all day for no one, and brag to their friends about their follower count, which gets their real life friends into it as well. Meanwhile China is scooping up all their data.I haven't been on it, but have seen a lot of dumb videos from it and have heard lots of stories about predators lurking on there (though I'm sure it happens with lots of social media sites, I've heard a lot about it on there). Plus, aren't there rumors about it being Chinese Spyware and potentially going to be banned in the US?
I guess we always thought our generation couldn't get any worse in terms of superficiality, diminishing attention spans and being glued to a virtual reality that doesn't actually yield you anything when you turn your computer off at the end of the day - or wank yourself into oblivion.
Guess we we proven wrong.
Having said that, Amelia Gething is remarkably aesthetic and nice to look at.No it’s causing information very sensitive in nature to be recorded in the background, without you knowing. That information. Is data. Cameras can be enabled any time, and microphones can be recorded anytime. That’s on the worse end of it.
If there is a key logger, anything you type is recorded.
Facebook, Instagram, etc. they all do it. Be aware.The problem isn't Tiktok is how fast is technology can connect people and doesn't matter if they have positive things to share or not. When a person doesn't have their own criteria and doesn't analyze that type of thing are the result.
No. Tiktok is an easy platform for artists to showcase their work and people can give share experiences and words of wisdom in a quickly distributed way. Sure, not everything is great on there, but I got a long way following mental health accounts and going to their sources.
Tiktok isn't culturally degenerating. The people on there who seem like they cause it has always existed.I don't think it's causing it, I think it's just amplifying it. What causes it is a huge lack of education in the first place.
The decline of society started with the creation of social media. It's all Mark Zuckerberg's fault, lol.
God damn, that "george floyd challenge", if it's even legit, just set the black lives matter movement back a bit.
TikTok and its predecessors, starting with Facebook, haven't caused cultural degradation, per se, but have definitely encouraged it. The penchant for this behaviour was always there, it's just that the popularity of these apps have normalized it. And the proliferation of smart phones has certainly added gasoline to the social media fire.TikTok is all about getting shock value reactions (just like how modern teen pop culture is in the USA).
Yes, some posts do cross the line into tastelessness.Ah, the coronavirus challenge by licking the toilet bowl.
The wirst people are the ones who become fans of these tiktokers.. bloody hell they copy dialogues from movies and act like its their creativity... dumb fools
What the help is Tik Tok? I've been told that whatever the help it is, if you have the app installed on your phone, you no longer have privacy. Apparently it gets hacked easily and hackers can actually watch you through your camera.
Those are mostly kids and kids do stupid shit. We have adults doing those things on Facebook (old people Instagram).
The "George Floyd challenge" and "Coronavirus challenge" are two of the most disgusting challenges to make their appearance on that godforsaken platform.
it definitely is a contributing factor, but they're not even doing it right. for the george floyd challenge you're supposed to be high on lethal amounts of drugs and have an arrest record longer than Santa's naughty list first. #georgefloydisnotmyhero
