it absolutely doesn’t man that is not how statistics work it’s absurd to even make that claim

Look at the trend in suicide rates

TikTok didn’t even exist in 2017 and only became popular around lockdown last year

Teen suicide rates spiked the last year, TikTok definitely has something to do with that bro.

And I'm not arguing against that. Everyone can be toxic on social media, TikTok is just the absolute bare worst of it.

Cause the billboard was great before?

Like I said - this is what happens with algorithm driven social media

because of social media lmao
if anything TikTok is less damaging because it doesn’t actively cause you to compare yourself to people you know since it’s more like YouTube or vine w creators you don’t know personally

No s*** it’s social media lol

It’s just ridiculous to say that TikTok is causing a spike in the suicide rate

As far as I can tell 2020 suicide rates are not even released so I got no idea where you even got that from

most of the congressional hearings about facebook was about the 2016 election and how the russians used it to sway the election moreso than facebook itself (again, not defending facebook f*** them too)

and billboard was never perfect, but i don’t think it never as much talentless “artists” (and im using artists very loosely) as much in the tik tok era.

and nobody is saying the algorithms on other media in terms of race are good lol, again it’s just tik tok is the worst
