TikTok is actually mind poison. Burn it with the fires of hell.

I read a breakdown of the terms and conditions you agree to when you download that shit. You literally grant access to nearly your entire device.

It's marketing to Gen Z, you're gonna see 100 videos of a day in the life of before you see "what it's like being on PIP" on that platform .It's delusional.

I don't. I try to avoid going down the tiktok rabbit hole. 
It probably is overglamorized just like everything else on the internet. People make something into their whole identity and reason for living.

I stick with redneck tiktok and not sales tiktok. I don't need more sales influencers that don't know what they're talking about appearing in my life. I see enough of that garbage on LinkedIn

I stay away from TikTok - there's enough inanity that competes for my attention without it.

Ditto braintank's comment - I don't use Tiktok.  

If there's one though that demonstrates this, I would love seeing - post the URL

I would love to see some 60 Minutes special in a year about people who got into software sales from Tik Tok and lost their fucking minds because they don't have the spine.

TikToks algorithm is insanely personalized. I don’t even want to think about what data they’re collecting but if you’re getting tech sales videos it’s likely that they’re being targeted to you.

I see tech (all depts) getting glamorized due to most roles being remote. I can't say I've seen tik toks only focusing on software sales.

Reminds me of the days where pharmaceutical reps were considered the posh selling position. Selling is selling…..

I don’t think I’ve made it to the software sales side of TikTok. Still stuck on cat videos and not mad abt it.

It’s usually golf, smoking meat and for some reason swingers or only fans accounts. Not complaining
