I’m pretty blown away by how ... vibrant TikTok is. There’s so many interesting niches. Photography, film making, philosophy, humor. I love seeing random accounts with 300 likes and then they’re million-plus a few weeks later. Like the guy who asks people with fancy cars what they do for a living.

Every niche except moderate or conservative politics. They are incredibly aggressive with censorship, along the same lines (progressive views) as the other platforms, but with even less transparency. It’s hard for me to feel comfortable with their success in garnering massive network effects when they suppress some ideologies and are okay with others.

Doesn't it get tiring constructing some imaginary victimization conspiracy? If they're getting banned for "conservative politics," they're probably not talking about small government or lower taxes. We all know what they're talking about.

Why are you dismissing what I have observed as a “victimization conspiracy”?

> We all know what they're talking about.

What am I talking about?
