    I like how you still point out some of the issues with TikTok without exaggerating it or sounding paranoid. I personally deleted TiTtok because it was addicting and greatly shortened my attention span. I don't really like how much people exaggerate the security concerns of tiktok, but I do find it kind of sketchy, and I think you did a good job with not exaggerating, and telling the truth.

The first time my kid showed me a TikTok video also turned out to be the first time I was happy to hear "I found it on Tumblr." Kiddo still avoids TikTok.

    Out of all the dangerous challenges, the benadryl challenge was the darkest and saddest. It involves taking a shit ton of benadryl which acts as a unique and rare sub-class of hallucinogen known as a "deliriant". Unlike psychedelics, it causes hallucinations that are nearly indistinguishable from reality combined with full blown delirium. These hallucinations, to the person experiencing them, are so convincing and their mindset is so fucked up that they legitimately think it's real, even if it wouldn't ever make sense in reality. Worse, these are almost always of a dark and sinister nature.
    These high doses quickly become physically dangerous too, being liked to cardiovascular problems, seizures, brain damage, and much more. Several deaths resulted from the challenge, likely one of the worst ways to go. Slowly dying while delirious and seeing horrific delusions.

Maybe it's changing, and that's great. But these short addicting videos that waste time are always going to have some negative effect. We don't need them. Because some people can't use it properly.

    I think one important aspect of the TikTok algorithm is that basically the whole app is algorithmic! It's not like other social media apps where you can sort by likes, by views, or basically at all. You don't control what you see, it's just served to you when you swipe, and if you're looking for something specific it's almost impossible to find, so you just see what the algorithm wants you to see, all the time. It's not like reddit or youtube where you can look for something and judge it before you click.
