    This guy was never fit to be a CEO if he abandons ship when things get tough. Also, never looked like he really understood Gen Z to begin with. This is probably a really good thing for TikTok

      Tiktok is and always was an awful app that speeded up the process for children to get ADHD. It should go down.

      Andrew, I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the news, but TikTok is tied up in the corner, gagged, blindfolded and waiting to be shot. The CEO leaving is, if anything, damning.

    Useless insecure app. It deserves to receive more exodus. Wise people avoid BS culture norms way before some governments ban them.

    I guess he is a trump supporter who grew upset after the company started suing trump administration ????

    Tiktok is the dajjal system in foster homes within the United nations and is very vague about how much of the world is going to die from coronavirus

Mayfield has invested more than $3 billion in AI companies, much of it before founders have built a product or even formed a company.
