One reason I know we will be perfectly fine without #TikTok is because we were perfectly fine a few years ago without #TikTok.

And we were perfectly fine without #Facebook, #Instagram, #Snapchat, #Twitter (#X), and all the other private companies that walled off the internet into small caged hellholes of people screaming at each other while branding them well-maintained gardens of deeper connection and freedom.

I also don't like independent marketers ("influencers" - lmao), so **shrug**.
