who what where and why? :
I think if this is applied as a generalization to social media it holds true, I think tiktok stands alone (or at least it did before it changed hands) the algorithms at the time when tiktok was on its upswing could not predict what someone was going to say and how it would resonate with people... for me, tiktok has always felt like Speaker's corner of the modern age, you just hit the button, record one minute of video and then see if it gets any traction, there is an inherent value in the fact that a thought planted in 6 minds, through 6 degrees of separation can technically can never be erased... these thoughts we plant like seeds into the minds of the few, May propagate and spread with or without our awareness of the ripples... there is an inherent power in that for the collective if the ripples are ripples of growth... the thing a lot of people don't remember about 2023 and tiktok being called to Congress, well actually it's a lot of things that people don't remember about that time... a few weeks before Biden called tiktok to Congress, a bunch of tiktokers got together and arranged a letter writing campaign, in a matter of just a few weeks, users of tiktok sent 2.5 million letters to Congress demanding that they listen to indigenous alaskans and not push a pipeline... that is when Biden decided to take Zuckerberg up on his discrediting campaign against tiktok, I don't think it had anything to do with what was sold to the public, but rather the threat of collectivism that was coming off of this app.... and at some point people got so busy playing into the popularity contest MLM and getting their bags, they even without the sale of the app, after 2023, the collectivism was the government's Target... that's why they started sending in paid actors to use parasocial familiarity to convince people that they were on the same team... and this is also mirrored in Canada... and there was this massive push for every one to fight evil by voting for lesser evil... And what wasn't disclosed is that the people who were pushing these narratives were hanging out together behind closed doors on discord and getting paid to tell the general public how to vote...
