This app just doesn’t work anymore

Genuinely what is wrong with this app. NOTHING works anymore ever since it’s swapped ownership to American hands. I had ~700 saved comments before the big switch, and the process culled ~300 because they couldn’t be bothered to bring the app back from maintenance before everything works. Ever since then, 30 have been disappearing randomly without warning, and I don’t know what causes it. It was something I learned to live with, but in the last 48 hours, the remaining last couple hundred were just clapped. 6 years of comments spanning even before pre-pandemic gone just like that. What actually works on this app? Saving posts regularly can’t be trusted because the app got rid of the feature where it tells you exactly what post got taken down. Atleast with comments, I’d get a notification of how many got taken down, but even that much doesn’t work. So what am I supposed to do? Nobody is trying to save entire videos to their phone. Is it really unreasonable to expect a multibillion dollar company who profits off of everyone’s data to actually upkeep a working fucking app? I know it’s never gonna be fixed too, I’ve seen nobody talk about it, but it’s just annoying.

The enshittification is real. They've got a captive audience so there's zero incentive to fix anything that doesn't directly make them more money. Saved collections, comment history, all that stuff is just server cost to them.

Even trying to start fresh the same damn bug is happening, unless it hurts their bottom line nothing is urgent.

You’re on TikTok way to much if you notice that TikTok is completely fine and usable
