I tried it a couple of times, and found most content stupid. 90% was girls trying to be cute. Some DIY ones were OK, but I'd rather watch 40 minutes of Tech Ingredients on YT.



+1 Tech Ingredients. This is why we created the internet.


> 90% was girls trying to be cute

And 90% of those girls have an OnlyFans account. For an app that was first / still is targeted towards children and teenagers I find that extremely predatory and dangerous.


Is it really that big of a deal if a teen sees boobies?

And parents need to be the ones deciding if their kid gets to use an app or not by vetting it themselves. Parental controls are an assistive device, not a panacea.

Calling self-employed sex workers "predatory and dangerous" isn't right, though.


Tricking horny teenagers into using their mommy's credit card is not predatory?

Also I am sure I don't need to tell how porn sets a whole set of unrealistic expectations about sex and intimacy, especially since a young age.


Wait, so you think that sex workers shouldn’t be allowed to use TikTok, because you can’t trust your teenager not to defraud you?

That’s a you problem, not the woman in the bikini’s.
