Of course TikTok makes money from advertisers so I'm sure they will catch up soon and start deprioritising this stuff in their algorithms.

I don't think anyone is that advanced. As long as people watch it, they don't care.

I regret reading this "article". 58000 views on one video, a tag that has 158 million views, and a whole lot of tempest in a teapot. I learned nothing of value from this.

People hating consumerism is not new. Just like nothing in this article is.
