  1. Who? What? TikTok ain’t news. Your nuts. Short form is short form, but don’t give the whole picture of anything? Dis – information can always happen on TicTok too. Mis – information is everywhere.

    1. Don’t confuse yourself.
      Is it believable or not?
      Do you trust it or fall in line?
      Peer pressure is a m@therfu(ker.

  2. Mr. Beast is getting to be huge. I can see where that valuation could be close to what they are worth. I follow 2 of his channels myself.

  3. Mr Beast Burger is like the single most hated restaurant for food quality. Pay 3x as much just to find out you’re eating Red Robin or IHOP when the food is delivered. And who takes all the complaints about it? The delivery drivers who have the actual least amount of control over the situation.

    1. Delivered food is the most disgusting way to enjoy a meal that should be served to you hot and fresh sitting in a restaurant not luke warm and steamed in a box in the back of some dudes car.

  4. The fact that TikTok should be the subject of commentary just because it is Chinese -owned speaks volumes of how the current Western world order limits plurality. Me ? I take ALL social media platforms with a grain of salt.
