  • You can’t fault her for her education program she attended failing her. That was stuff we learned in elementary school

    I absolutely can, we have excellent schools, and there is like a very big chance she had to plant and describe the growth of a seed.

    YOUR algorithm, it becomes 90% only what YOU want to see

    I fully understand that (it’s not a difficult concept) and it’s precisely what I don’t want.

    And ofc any platform can have good content, nobody is objecting that.
    “TikTok bad” is bcs its not open and federated, thats all there is to it from my pov.

    Dumb people post on YouTube, but no one talks about how stupid that is.

    I can’t believe you have never heard it before, but YouTube is stupid - not as a core idea of having videos on a site, but who owns it and what they are doing with it.

    No hate, as like I said, I was once someone like you.

    I feel like we have very different reasons.
    I’m not saying TikTok & co (Twatter, Insta, YT, BlueTwatter, etc) don’t work or don’t offer interesting content, I just don’t wanna support such shitty industries on moral grounds.

    I’m not equating this to you personally but here is my experience (I have never used TokTik myself):
    my coworker in her just about 50s said the same thing you did - “just how much life hacks” she has learned and immediately proceeded to explain if I knew that if I buy some seeds and put them in some water or moist soil it just “starts to grow” and you can then proceed to plant those “things” in pots and it will eventually grow you “fruits” and you only need to water it “like a (house) plant”.

    I still have not recovered from this and it’s has been a year. It really shook me to my core.
    I’m still speechless about it, I don’t even know how to comment it, where to ever start thinking about it.
    Just so much wow.

    Oh, but I agree with you abut money-train issue, foss communities are still learning how to donate to devs/creators. But it’s a process, a cultural movement & development which I am sure will lead us to a better society.
