A warning

I am posting this here as a warning to anyone else looking to redownload the app. I never deleted it, and I wish I had sooner. When the app was no longer banned, I found it to be heavily censored, with live and shop being removed. I also noticed my feed was replaced entirely with political talk, negativity, and worse. So here is my warning: if you redownload it, be ready for a lot of uncomfortable videos or videos you just don’t want to watch get forced into your feed. Also, be prepared for a LOT of ads. If doom scrolling or political talk is what you like, then go for it. But if you want to avoid it, I recommend keeping it uninstalled. There are other options to replace it with(look for the one you like best. I’ve found one I enjoy quite a bit). Just remember: if you redownload, be careful.

Tiktok has already been political and heavily censored since before the ban. Also Apple and google play dont have it available to redownload.

I deleted it the moment they started licking trumps taint. It’s going to be owned by Meta or First Lady Elon Musk so it’s not even worth revisiting.

I deleted it AND I’m a small business owner on Tik Tok. I don’t give af.. I will not support Trump, musk or his cronies.. EVER. I’m literally about to throw my dreams and family life vision away just because I hate this mf so much and being a lawyer is the only way to actually be in a position to change things.

Its just you honestly. All my friends and I's for you page and everything else has returned to normal. I get like 1 ad every 200-500 videos. Why are you seeing so many ads? The political content was because trump just got into office. What do you mean there wont be news about politics? Cause reddit sure as hell is all about trump news right now. 10x more than tiktok. It's Jan 23 and the algorithms moved on to the newer cali fires, lively and baldoni gossip, and etc.

Do yourself a favor and delete the app if its not what you like.

my FYP is the same few people over and over. No one i follow, no content i follow. The ONLY people who are on it i do follow are really super big creators. I can not block any accounts. The lives are all the fake lives of pre-recorded videos, the same thing over and over. It is all 100% political now. I did not follow politics before. I went out of my way to block them. Many creators are now getting community guidelines violations for things like a gay pride flag in their profile picture.

For the first time EVER, my husband had corn pop up on his. Hard core.
