    Really not trying to be rude.

    I don’t have TikTok and don’t want one. I want to be a part of online stuff such as this story you’re telling. But.

    TikTok is fucking cancer on a phone/device that doesn’t have an account and doesn’t (therefore) have the app installed.

    Popups of all forms. Just like sketchy websites. It’s just a red flag. That’s all.

    These experiences really reinforce my decision to NOT have a TikTok.

      100% agree. Fucking hate tiktok. Even beyond the data they collect and shit, how skeezy they are about watching the videos makes them so shitty.

      That said, open it in a browser and then set to desktop site it you’re on mobile. It allows it to play without the popups. Mobile browser tiktok feels like a late 90s porn site with the popups
