    idk if y’all ever get glimpses into the culture of 16-27 year old men on your tiktok but it’s incredibly bleak

    all of the content creators they watch are very anti-social. They use poor people as entertainment - shitty annoying pranks, paying people to be a zoo animal in some degrading gameshow, humiliating them in interviews or other crap, constantly reacting to “abnormal” people by bullying them for laughs

    They teach men how to become a fuckboi and drown by being manipulative and vapid (appearing to have high social status, flexing wealth) instead of just being a good person

      I used tiktok for like a month and all i had was rez guys getting excited about grocery store fried chicken and making fun of some of the clapped out cars you would see in driveways. Thankfully, the app is too annoying and too fast for my mind.

      Yup, as someone in that age range I can attest to that.

      Even the whole “flex culture” from 2017-2018 prevailed where I come from. Also a ton of content creators here freely advertise gambling to kids.

      Not like lootboxes, but actual gambling.
