Whoa Things are getting weird!

If you are a regular TikTok user, I bet you have noticed this yourself, things have gotten really weird. Well I should say this only pertains to those in the US. There is a prevailing feeling sweeping the platform that Meta has purchased TikTok. First the CEO of TikTok removed the title of CEO from his name on his profile. Secondly Facebook has an account that is accredited and that appeared overnight during the ban. There now seems to be more integration as far as sharing your TikTok content with your Facebook and Instagram. Plus it all seems kind of coincidental with Mark Zuckerberg's mea culpa appearance just last week on Joe Rogan's podcast where he said Meta would do away with fact checkers.

Yet above all those bits of evidence, the most strong indication is that the amp just feels different. In other words the user experience has changed and I would suggest that is due to a different algorithm being employed now, because remember TikTok was adamant that they would not sell their algorithm to the new purchaser.

All I can say is I hope for Meta’s sake that Mark Zuckerberg did not pay much for TikTok because from what I am seeing from the majority of the users is that they are mad as hell and not planning on continuing to use the service.

First they fuss because it is gone and then they fuss because it is back with some changes.

I don't know if there was any real threat to it being the way it was before, but if there was any chance of any part of it being used mainly for spying, then it needed to be changed somehow.

If not.... well.... welcome to continued reality..... right??
