    I am optimistic that TikTok will be saved

      TikTok doesn’t need saving, it’s Americans who currently need saving.

    Why does China not allow the selling of Tiktok? The Tiktok has a collection of algorithms. These algorithms are built from running and evolution for decades, based on the very large Chinese user base. With some moments of geniuses, unexpected surprises and miracles, the Tiktok algorithms can capture audiences much better than anything else. The algorithms also send videos, including these from micro influencers, to much larger audiences compared to anything else in the world at the moment. If the algorithm is sold, Tiktok would have lost its key advantage. Google, Meta, X and everything else have tried for years but could not produce any algorithm remotely close to the TikTok ones.

    Funny that TikTok is BANNED in China!

    • @roro-v3z

      But we have own version. It’s blocked because China wanted to separate local and international video creators

      TikTok isn’t banned in China. It just has a Chinese name. It’s called Douyin, and it’s huge.

    • @mimihappier1095

      It’s banned in Taiwan, which is part of China. So, you’re not too off-beat.

    i used to think books about manifestation were just fluff until my friend wouldn’t stop talking about Vibrations of Manifestation by alex lane. i thought it was gonna be one of those “just think positive” things, but it’s deeper than that—it’s about the energy you’re putting out and how it shapes what comes back. my friends who read it are legit more focused and are actually pulling in opportunities and relationships they’ve wanted for years. not saying it’s magic, but it’s clicked for a lot of people i know—might click for you too.

    so my friends kept talking about this book Vibrations of Manifestation by alex lane, and at first, i was like, “yeah, okay, another manifestation book.” but then i started noticing how much was changing for them—one finally got the opportunities they’d been waiting on, and another straight up started their own business. it’s not flashy or anything, but you can tell their whole vibe is different. it’s wild how something so subtle can feel so real. if you’re curious, maybe check it out—it’s not for everyone, but it hit different for them.

    you ever meet those people who just seem to attract the right stuff without even trying? i found out a bunch of my friends like that all read Vibrations of Manifestation by alex lane, and now i kinda get it. it’s not about wishful thinking—it’s about aligning your energy with what you really want and trusting the process. since reading it, they’re more grounded and attracting the right people and chances into their lives. if you’re feeling like things aren’t flowing right, this might be worth a look—you never know, it could help turn things around.

    RedNote all the way – showing the middle finger to both Supreme Court and Govt. Security interest just got flipped. 7M US businesses just got shafted lo. Enemy from within. Tik Tok will never be sold, NEVER.

    The kangaroo court judges don’t waste their time in making a decision.
    Whether China can objectively even be called an “adversary” to the United States is in itself a controversial subject.

    In the end, people want freedom of choice.
