    When people send me tiktok videos i just answer “remember that i don’t have tiktok so i can’t see it?” And after a while, they download it for me

      What do you mean they download it for you?

      It’s not a matter of lazyness, there are quite a few work rounds described even under this post. It’s a matter of principle. The harder companies make it to watch it’s content without a user, the less I’m going to use it. Not jump through hoops to still watch it’s content. Social media has become a cancer and should be avoided like the disease it is. It should be treated with utter contempt.

      Remain strong to your stance. All my friends know theres no point to send any videos as most no longer work without an app and are complete eyesore to watch in browser mode and i absolutely refuse to defile my phone with tiktok. So if they actually want to show me a good video, they have to physically come to me and show it from their phone. That kinda guarantees that the video is good enough.

        That’s why i tell them to dowload the video for me and send in chat instead of sending of expecting me to use tiktok
