Contrary to some other social media, you can train the tiktok algorithm to cut the bullshit and show you things you want to see, which could be positive content only if you want. I opened reddit yesterday and the first post in my feed is a suicide note from what I presume to be a now dead person.

Didn't say it was🖕

It's just not Tik Tok, IG as well. The internal redearch on IG is absolutely awful

Really the only proper answer imho.

Instead of quitting social media, I post positive content that I hope lifts up those around me. It’s been well received by friends and family.

Blaming everything on the Algorithm is being willfully ignorant. And I’m not trying to fully downplay the algorithm, because it is designed to keep us all at each others throats to an extent. Or at least foster disputes.

But we can rise above it. We can be good neighbors and positive members of our community. It is still a choice.

Believing anything less is essentially abdicating responsibility for a better society.

Oh shut up. Like your own existence is well worth the trouble

One less idiot using up precious resources

Everyone thinks they have an adequate assessment of danger and risk. No one really thinks they're risking life and limb.

And most humans are incredibly driven to feel liked and admired. Whether that's through social media; their looks; owning status symbols; being successful; getting upvotes; etc.

All the articles on this headline the $10,,000. If I could only bring back the dead at $10,000 each. The civil suit and the trauma will be way more than the fine. They may even lose a few customers.

Yeah, I shouldn't have clicked through, then googled. Made me cry.

This on struck me as super awful:

Two young men died in the Ural Mountains after they pulled the pin from a live hand grenade to take a selfie. The phone with the picture remained as evidence of the circumstance of their deaths.

Charlie got another one.

Being a narcissistic douche.

Holy shit, that first one. Awful.

He died doing what he loved to do.

Headline Is Confusing

A lot going on here

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths

The list keeps getting longer. Maybe a tiktok video is not exactly a selfie but similar circumstances and outcomes.

Social media is all that is wrong with social media.

Anybody know where to find the video? r/WinStupidPrizes needs more content

Bound to happen at some point, fuck around and find out.

Its pretty sad and completely unnecessary. I just don’t get why people would risk life and limbs just for a few upvotes / likes on social media

It's the people not the app

I'm not sure what side should I be on:

Users of tiktok getting hurt or dying

Or

Creators getting hurt or dying because if there are no more creators, users will also not exist...

Basically tiktok needs to go, either of the two ways above I don't mind
