"Let me put this into words you can understand..."

Looking forward to it!

We were only fooling ourselves...

Quousins.

I'm no professional, but I'll tell him.

But if you ask it, it'll tell you it formed itself by it's own bootstraps...

Have you considered having a nice bowl of soup?

The whole things a psy-op. Your government is fucking you all about. Everyone on tiktok should stop paying taxes.

This is an unproductive conversation. You don't get it, and I'm not gunna convince you of how reductive your rhetoric is. This is a big blow against freedom of expression, and people who're already struggling are gunna feel the hit, but I can't make you care, so... Bye.

I do know enough to know that 7 million people losing a stream of income is going to have a noticeable effect on your economy, though, if not completely bone it.

They're people, man.

Many. I also get how business works (kind of). I also don't really care. I sympathise with the creators and small businesses enough to know that "Oh, well, easy come, easy go. Diversify or die." Isn't very helpful, isn't remotely sympathetic and, frankly, it's kinda gross.

I don't think you get how TikTok, the creator fund or the algorithm works. A lot of these creators and small businesses have other means and create a lot of content elsewhere, but they don't generate nearly the same amount of revenue or, crucially, build audiences the same way. They will struggle.

No sympathy at all for the 7 Million Americans that earn money through TikTok, either via the creator fund or through using it as a platform to advertise their business? The artists and musicians who were able to find an audience and get their careers going in a way that reels and shorts couldn't?

They weren't. I would watch the whole video, at the end he provides sources that you can look into.
