[Thread] Was banning TikTok a masterstroke by us?

It was either a GOATed intellectual move by the government or a fluke that has paid us well. PUBG and TikTok were two cancerous apps that was f'ing with the cultural zeitgeist imo.

@Dihaadi CoDM does not have the same mass appeal as PUBG and Insta reels content is marginally better than reels cringefest. But yes you are sorta right.

Yes, a Bloomberg article will tell you why they really banned it! Spoiler, it has nothing to do with "national security", or China influencing US politics. They want to control the media narrative to keep the populace compliant to US foreign policy (e.g. bombing those folks in a faraway land), and TikTok was standing in the way of that, showing footage the state department does not want the mostly young audience to see.

Good firms genuinely perform well and return money. The ecosystem is not forgiving -- you don't survive very long if you don't create any big wins. It's an extremely high stress ...
