Good point. So TikTok only adds that junk when you download a video? I don’t use the app, so I didn’t know for sure, but it makes sense.
Besides, every video site lets you download their videos if you’re clever enough, and it’s a very low bar. Just use yt-dlp.
So there. That’s what I’m expecting from you. Download any TikTok video you want to share using that program so it doesn’t have the annoying tags and ad built into it. Or don’t. I really don’t care.
I was only answering your questions. I’m not the original commenter, and I would never have posted an original comment saying anything like that. But as a person clicking links on social media, I do find Tik Tok videos are annoying. Plus it bothered me that you were equating criticism of Tik Tok with criticism of the woman who made the video. It seems (to me!) like you were saying that to make the original commenter feel bad about their comment. And that made me feel bad. It wasn’t a fair thing to say. So that’s why I spoke up at all.
JOIN TIKTOK. THIS USER IS ON TIK TOK. GET ON THE PILE. JOIN THE BLOB!
This is what I hear every time I watch a Tik Tok video. Lemmy is the only social media I use because the rest is all brain rot or worse. Hell, so is Lemmy half the time.
You have chosen to rant under my post. It wasn’t clear if you were expecting something from me.
Which other platforms let you download videos?
