What I just found out is there are 2-versions of TikTok. The Chinese version called Douyin which shows science experiments that kids can do at there home. They show museum exhibits, and educational videos. Plus, children are limited to 40 minutes per day on the platform. Now, compare that to American children and how they use TikTok. Hours and hours dedicated to watching mind numbing addictive short clips of the most stupid shit.
I believe the Chinese know what they are doing. Erode the values in the West. Especially in America. Make TikTok so addictive that it starts to influence American culture negatively. Then, watch America implode internally. While the Chinese are producing the next scientist, America will suffer from a popultion that is unable to focus and is self centered. Quite clever.
