did kendrick actually save tiktok?

Tiktok just shutdown for me and it’s not even the 19th yet😭

It’s been real yall 🫡

I thought I had until 12am EST 😭

I feel lonely in a way that makes absolutely no sense.

It’s not that I even posted often or had specific mutuals, but it’s like 80% of the world just disappeared. Like, I just got a book off hold at the library and I know ppl on booktok would understand my excitement. Now I don’t know who to share it with now😿

Rate this video?

Not getting over 400 views btw

Wtf is with this “Earn while scrolling” thing.

Okay so I know I’m not the only person to be getting these and I want to know if any of us have any idea as to what the actual hell these are. In case you don’t know what this is, occasionally when scrolling TikTok normally your entire app would be randomly hijacked by a screen saying “Confirm your age”. Going through this whole process always sends you to an app called Playful, not at all owned by Tiktok. I’ve always thought it was maybe some odd ad bypassing TikTok’s in-app browser and somehow opening up a webpage delayed past you accidently swipe on one of those fake swipe ads, but I had just gotten an actual popup which makes be know that this is an official thing from TikTok rather than an ad. Wtf js up with this? Does anybody have any idea?

“What if” simulations everywhere

In the past week, I’ve seen about 20 new accounts on TikTok and Instagram posting videos of animations all in a low poly style with white captions and such. It’s a distinct style and these accounts, which I assume are ran by the same group of people with dummy accounts, clearly don’t own this content. I can’t find the originals anywhere. I have no idea why it isn’t the first result. TikTok really needs to crack down on suspicious new accounts with reposted content. Such scummy people
