The fuck are they on about? The gaming community is centered around discord and twitch, maybe with YouTube and Reddit in smaller amounts. tiktok's death wouldn't even be noticed.
Something filmed originally in 16:9 or 16:10 but pasted in portrait mode, using only 1/3 of the screen. Even if you flip your phone sideways, the video is even smaller. GAHHHHHHHH.
Lol, I feel like many communities will become better if tiktok dies. It is the repercussions on specific freedoms that take a hit and it sets a dangerous legal precedent. But everything communitywise should be a net gain.
This reads more like the panic of an addict who thinks they're about to be cut off and less like a coherent take on the issue.
In reality, even if this passes the Senate, TikTok will be sold to a US-based holding company. Little will change for the end user. It isn't going to shut down. And even if it did shut down (which it won't ), this article really cheapens the meaning of "tragedy."
They'll just be some people whining about it on YouTube and Twitch for about a month and a half and then forget about it when Lethal Company 2 or something comes out. Not only is that not uncommon, it's not even newsworthy at this point.
