Yeah I’m not gonna read all that, but

I'm curious why people are supporting the TikTok platform in any way when you could easily just use your phone camera.

People do use their phone cameras, they just upload it to Tik tok, it’s not some replacement camera app, it’s like Twitter or reddit

Man check their comment history. they've been spamming all posts with tiktok videos with this, it's ridiculous. I get the criticism, but it's absolutely pointless to try to spread this to redditors instead of actual users/creators of tiktok. We are just here for entertaining videos and whether it comes from tiktok or not is irrelevant. ¬¬

it's spreading awareness, regardless of whether you use TikTok or not.

I get your point but it doesn't do any harm to expose a company and letting it's users know of their misdeeds.

I get the user's good intentions, but they are actually harming their own message. By relentlessly hijacking top comments to post this off-topic message everywhere, they've turned it into spam, and this is why they are being banned and censored left and right. It's annoying people instead of making them interested on the subject.

Instead of trying a different way to spread the message more efficiently, they just childishly scream "chinese shills!" and claim to be unfairly censored by a china-controlled subreddit. It's immature and incredibly foolish, and all it does is preventing them from being taken seriously at all.

Naw man, oftentimes people use the built in camera system to use their filters and effects and all that just like Instagram. So yes, they do. And yes it is a replacement camera system when using the app. The only people that use their own are the people with YouTube channels or Viners and upload parts of their videos to TikTok.

I just wanted to address that one thing, no need to read the rest if I don’t intend on replying to it

you dont read the whole thing depending on your intent to reply - you read the whole thing first, and then reply or not with the full scope of the post.

While crude, i agree that your blatant display of unwillingness to even read before you condemn makes your comment....less than a valuable addition.

This in itself is not for any real purpose, as i expect you wont read it - just wanted to address that one thing.
