As a Chinese citizen what he said is 100% fax. You bearly see anyone doing idotic trends but more educational, fashionable, cool trick(fixing, making, drawing and etc) and more in douyin rather than the american version but that doesn't mean it is all bad. I think it's mainly because of how long school hours is in China and your parents expetations that most teens study after school til the middle of the night to get a good grade hoping to get into a good university in the future.
I immediately thought about the fact that Chinese people are pressuring students to study all day long with douyin too. So as a Chinese person, do you think douyin is more beneficial or harmful to Chinese people?
This is more about our reflection of the US and our freedom of speech that it is about China mainly because China smothered its culture on so early and its existence and flat out lying about it history it’s literature and everything, causing their to be nothing but propaganda so essentially anything and everything that’s being made on their TikTok is either showing scams people getting scammed people watching a scam or propaganda because they have such a death grip on their Internet
As a Indian, at least our government saved us from the cringe of TikTok. Edit: yes yes I know there's like 100 copies of tiktok like moj and Instagram but they aren't as popular as tiktok is, and they do less worse stuff than tiktokers do
Chinese TikTok feed their people with knowledge and protecting their children from trashy content and even having a specific time to go on the app, they are the smart ones
Regular tiktok is basically a country which kills its own citizens but gives them useless things but the citizens like and addective to get more people and kill more by the killers being payed by the government and citizens keep coming unlike china’s modified version of tiktok which is better
As a Chinese, I have to say that I hope Chinese Tiktok is an app full of educational videos like what you said, but it actually isn't. Short videos are the same all over the world.
Chinese tiktok looks better than the us version because CCP banned pornography in China, so that nobody dare doing soft porn in chinese tiktok. I don’t think it’s because of the algorithm.
It's the users that makes the difference...Education is kind of the top priority topic in Chinese people's life before we start to work for a living and we spend a lot of time at school and on homework. So education related contents are relatable for us and easy to get viral. Even a lot of Chinese internet slang and memes are related to our educating experience. The reason why it's hard to imagine twerking vids you have mentioned would exist on Douyin is that we're more conservative when it comes to sexual content. People would definitely report them as unhealthy content. And dont forget that we use tiktok longer than you guys and the commercial model of douyin gets more matured🥰The competition between Tiktokers is not a joke so they need to create more high quality videos to stand out.
As a Chinese this is actually true, China is really different from America. And the reason why there’s really no one doing any trends is bc Chinese parents expect their child to be smart work hard study and be something great when they grow up.
Too bad it's not working for them; I can't imagine what it would be liked to be trapped inside a smog-infested, overcrowded city, with enough people--apparently--who don't have sense enough to limit their population voluntarily to alleviate the problem.
DouYin shows educational content, simply because it is required by Chinese law, and DouYin follows the law. So how about Americans start in the right way and fix their law. Junk content on all platforms.
USA propaganda is saying that tiktok is trying to make them dumber. No its actually much more simple , what people post is tick-tok and it's showing what people had posted.
Why is no one talking about the fact that the American tiktok creators are the ones who upload idiotic and wasteful content while Chinese creators upload stuff that are useful 🙌
I'm not saying you are wrong but there are still educational content on TikTok but its not pushed by the algorithm and not people can found the good content on TikTok.
It all looks like anti-Chinese hysteria. It has long been known that the consumer society leads to this result. In the West, videos up to 8 minutes long are popular on TH-cam, people almost don’t watch anything longer.
Honestly, the content you see just depends on the person. Teenagers in the US do tend to like the idiotic contents more. There are also idiotic contents posted from people living in Asia, but many of us also chose to watch the at least somewhat useful ones. My dad likes to watch the educational videos, even though he doesn’t seem to have a great sense of judgement towards the content he consumes.
as soon as i opened tiktok before signing up, first thing i have to scroll is loads of useless and crazy shts, no educational contents which shows it does not really depend on the user activity from the beginning.
@@infovista192the tiktok algo optimizes for you watching stuff for a longer time. So if you swipe the stupid videos away and stay for the educational stuff, that's what you get. However not sure if the enforcement of time restrictions by Chinas government is true, but if so they are basically doing what every parent should do. I'd argue that tiktok should have an age restriction altogether as the short content really messes with children's brains, educational or not.
Honestly that content moderation is good. Atleast in tiktok. Would really love to see something like tiktok China. Only nice and wholesome things with no useless twerking and cringe trends which even leads to people's death
Waging warfare in the silliest but most effective way is an art unique only to masters of warfare. The Americans should not have backed the colonial powers, the grand plan to white wash every colony and force them under a singular doctrine backfired. What the alpha males avoided, the video game era, backfired heavily as in reality it was the birth of a new type of predator, the cyber warlords. Now through extreme competition, even the most frail can easily access the mates of the alpha's or even both if they're into this type of fetish. This art of warfare, gaze at it, as this sword is one of the most beautiful in existence.
Man, it is just the difference in environment Asia is just way more competitive when it comes to education I am from India I am studying for the medical entrance exam so I go to a prep school for it named Aakash Institute thousands of students come there to study and they all watch youtube shorts, they have instagram, snapchat and everything else US has except tiktok but we still study and produce more doctors and engineers than any other country. We don't watch all that educational stuff like you showed earlier we just study after watching all that because if we don't our parents will hit us with a badminton racket
I am a thirty year old student in China,In China ,most of students often uses Douyin(tik tok),and the goverment want to get command of but they can't do it.why am i say that?Because I am also a victim of Tiktok addiction.
Interesting.In fact,all are based on self-preference due to algorithm.Even TikTok China has many videos not good for kids.And child pattern is not forced to open because there is no requirement of ID card.Besides,this pattern is a national policy,not originally from the company,so you can also advocate or suggest your government for that
While I think Agon makes great videos typically, this one is a bit off. The “chinese TikTok” vids he shows are only a small part of the vids on there, and there is still a large amount of useless garbage on there. Some of the studying videos are not in fact promoting studying, but are just videos that complain about studying and the workload of students in China. There are also useless trends in China, where there is this thing called “红眼” (meaning “red eye”), where when someone roasts another person, they get a glowing “red eye” edited on one of their eyes, which appears kinda like a laser beam coming from the eye. Pretty useless and noneducational, if you ask me. Also, there are many videos that conform with foreign trends, as well as videos that create content even more meaningless than the foreign TikTok content. So no, douyin is really no better than TikTok, and I certainly would say that instead of watching useless vids on TikTok or douyin, we could be learning stuff - just like how we all are watching Agon now. This is not an insult to Agon’s research or his credibility, but I find it important that we get the real facts.
Lmao he makes it very clear in the video that he wanted to sound less Anti-China. He's disingenuously praising China in every way possible by inaccurately representing the Chinese Tik Tok community using a small minority of great educational Tik Tok content to bury the bad ones underneath. That's like saying Cuba is a rich country just because you managed to find 1 or 2 millionaires there.
It's not that simple. The more the algorithm feeds people with dumb and addictive content, the more people will be hooked onto it. So why not blame both?
@@mehlanie13 The algorithm shows you what people within your area, state or country are interested in, it's fully automatic (obviously, because it's too much work), so what you see is the common interest in your area
Also it's the content creators they plan to make highly "addictive " content to get people hooked. In order for that to happen they have to edit their videos severely, which is why they are not on TH-cam.
@@mehlanie13 Then say the other countries who uses tiktok, why blame China when Chinese people aren't even using it. If a feed is a popular one in an app then it would be common for it to appear on others device, since its interest caught people's eyes. Say the one who started uploading those feeds instead of those who created the app for you to enjoy.
No nightfam, Chinese are disciplined than us cause their using social as useful and not doing some stuff that are nonsense. Blame the US creators and others that who post nonsense and Indiscipline manners. CHINA DOESNT TOYING AND MAKING US DUMB (ITS US THAT MAKING OURSELVES DUMB) while watching this video I got Cultured Shock
That's true, Americans uses TikTok in bad ways such as being a influencer, Corny Jokes, dumb humors etc. while Chinese uses TikTok in Good ways like Creatively, Educationally and very discipline ways than what we ever think.
TikTok’s algorithm rewards American creators for making dumb content, by feeding said dumb content to viewers. It also creates echo chambers for divisive political views by feeding people content that reinforces people’s views, and gradually showing them less content that challenges their opinion. It’s 100% being used as a PsyOp.
As being a Chinese I can say this is so true, my freaking dad only sees some good life hacks on tiktok and so is my device and when I ever go on other peoples device they will have some dumb twerking videos and all those not-Chinese related stuff.
I’m so glad I deleted TikTok I was able to finally do more than scroll, I was able to start writing a book, drawing and going outside, etc My sister is on TikTok and I should show this too her
Even though some of this is definitely true and many of Project Nightfall's other videos are great, this video did judge all this too partially and came to conclusions way too quickly. First of all, anyone who has ever been on douyin knows it's not just entirely educational, and the majority of Tiktok videos aren't actually idiotic. Plus, it's very unlikely that China would control these apps with pure evil intention for other countries, as it does no good. Now people just have an overdramatic view of what's actually going on in China, when most places in China are quite nice and function normally. So, I think this video Is generally correct but also incredibly one-sided, and I think it's very unnecessary to just say "China is waging a secret war", come on guys.
100% agree. This is one of the few project nightfall videos i found more one sided in a way. I agree with everything he's saying and I do acknowledge that it feels tiktok is dumbing our generation, but it definitely isn't necessary to say that China is waging a secret war on us.
Agreed, I’m not Chinese but I don’t even see those type of “idiotic” content. I follow artist who make art tutorials and stuff like that, so I only get art videos recommended to me. The video is extremely biased :/ Edit: The “China is waging a secret war” part is extremely insensitive and cringe, I don’t know why Project Nightfall said that when his channel is about spreading positivity.
@@WalesRebel It's because Chinese communist party can't be trusted if you have been watching him for a while or know more than average about politics CCP does not have the best intentions.
ummm As someone who wasnt like other people.. my parents were EXTREMELY strict when it came to using devices. they had a specific time for me to watch which was only 1 hour a day. They always were aware of what I was watching but this was only until I was 16.. Now I'm 16 1/2 anyways, ngl, I'm quite happy for that. My friends who were obssessed over tiktoks and IG, they failed many classes, had expreinced traumas n whatnot. at first I thought they were weird and bad but now I know, that it was good for me. Now I think tiktok is useless, insta is trash and snap is nothing. I do hv acc on them but I'm lietrally BARELY present .. like once in 2 months prbly. So parents out there, please stop your kids from watching those trash contents! only allow then kids ver of youtube n thats it. they'll understand one day themselves or you can explain them that once they are mature enough. I dont compare myself to trash influencers. I dont do stupid dance twerk shits like most girls I dont show my body (absolutly never) I respect my body, I love it, I love myself becz of my strict parents!!!
They ain't extremely strict, they try their best to keep away from those horrible social media from you. I know it's wrong since I'm also from the strict parents, but I'm grateful enough to not let myself absorbed while maintaining my social online interaction. Both of my parents neglected protecting me on social media which is really unfortunate but after realizing that they will do the same thing to their grandchildren, I immediately got so irritated by their lack of knowledge. I feel sorry to my little siblings who had to deal with that
I have to disagree. It's not trash content - it's a sign of freedom to express oneself regardless of what others' think. A lot of people are tired with overly judgmental people and just need an outlet to express how they feel. Sometimes people just want to have fun, be a bit silly, let themselves loose and not be all serious all the time because it takes away the joys and pleasures of life. I say the right to twerking is the pinnacle achievement of human freedom. Humanity has been oppressed for so long...
@@VOLightPortal people do forget how to unleash their emotion throughout their life.. workout, travel, talk and express their emotion to their parents or qualified friends. They literally lost this value. As a generation who was born at the start of the internet era... This concerns me. They forgot that expressing feelings, emotion and ideas on the internet is worse than expressing it in front of a community meeting.
I wish my tiktok page is full of wholesome stuff and educational but instead I get weirdest stuff with some stuff that I don't like... I honestly like how China's tiktok post are only educational and good content.
Me and my friends were talking about the same topic that students teenagers are getting distracted by these Tik toks, Reels , and on other hand the country which owns tik tok are having better content than others and yes they are doing good , as in India now a days parents want their children to be famous on internet by becoming influencers
The same with South Africa ..I was just telling my little brother that the Tik Tok we have here its dumbing us down plus the influence of American culture. I think we really need to be conscious of what we are consuming not stupid celebrity culture, men vs women b s., feminine vs masculine ..*though I watch it when I'm bored lol*..
This is the real dangerous thing about social media that one can be famous be liked and followed by young people for doing things that are absolutely worthless for society!
I think, the tiktok's algorithm different because the users preference. Since more US costumer like content dancing, music, another "unique" influencer, etc, the algorithm give them that. I personally like content education, art, comedy, travelling, etc, in my wall I get contents like that. It happen too when you use TH-cam. Since chinese goverment can control their medias, they can make rules for their people. The question is why american people, the influencer and costumers don't chose to make and consume more education content?
I'm glad that I never installed Tiktok in my phone and this gives me more reason why I should never. I only use Google and TH-cam and only subscribed to youtubers with educational contents.
As a 100% Chinese person living in Australia what he said is true I see tiktoks like this on my mum’s phone and unlike cringe Chinese tiktok is ACTUALLY good and EDUCATIONAL and it makes SENSE There are never IDIOTIC and CRINGE AND TERRIBLE food wasting,pranks,dances and oh god how I say this twer- 💀 On Chinese side of tiktok Chinese side is full of education , sports , and fashion!a
I never trusted TikTok from the day it launched, I didn’t know it was from China but I got one of THE worst feelings in my entire life from my gut upon seeing it, most of my friends got it but I stayed clear and I still have. I don’t tell my friends this however since I don’t think they will believe me.
Good for you if you are also off Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, there are no better and they collect data on your that is shared not only with advertisers but the US government as well.
It's not China who is the problem. "China" (as in the government) has literally zero influence over the tiktok version that is run in the West by western CEOs. And it's YOUR American/European/Western Users who create and watch crappy content. It's also YOUR government and CEOs who refuse to regulate western social media platforms (including western Tiktok).
China has nothing to do with making the world dumber, is because the company let the app to be free since some countries believe in freedom and entertainment, after all it depends on how the user use it
Tik tok in any country is different content. It depends on your country, your society. The tik tok of the fallen country is of course fallen. progressive country. tik tok is healthy. African TIK TOK is also different from that of the United States.
People who are watching the app use social media not to waste your time, try to make it productive. Always remember that the time you waste won't come back.
Bruh, I had a long comment but I lost it. Here’s a summary, it’s mainly because of a few of the first videos and trends, sure things can change over time, but tictok haven’t changed, its rewarding more and more bad content but in china, there is this stigma around expressing yourself. This means that more creative content (I’m not saying americas tictok is more creative) is pushed down and more “useful” content is shown. This also means that if people start to post more creative content that isent education based, it won’t do well.
As a douyin user I can tell you the reason why we can’t and don’t use tik tok is because it is banned in our country for china the tik tok app was different tik tok had a tracker the Chinese government found in 2021 so they banned it and we use douyin and what he’s saying is not entirely true you just have to search what u wanna see and after using it for a while they will find out what you like and show you that
The ‘dumb’ videos were created by Americans, thus the Americans see more of those videos. It’s the algorithm. TikTok shows videos depending on your location and preferred language
As a Chinese I have to say the video you see on Douyin depends on your own preference just like TikTok, and there are lot more videos that are not related to education on it
But it isn't the Chinese that are posting these idiotic, promiscuous and stupid content, we are . If there's anyone to blame it's us. Everyone wants to make it buh no one wants to work thus the videos (hoping they'll do sth stupid that trends and catapult them into the "influencer realm".) That's all that really matters coz companies and brands would wanna work with them.
TikTok should be friendly, educational, fact full and normal. And what we see here is just random people posting cringe, racist, homophobic stuff. We should not use technology or an app like instagram and TikTok for the sake of it and mess around creating 15+ content
tbh i don't think china is doing that on purpose cuz tiktok also has alot of education things it's just that people don't watch that alot they watch the things he said in the vid. P.S if i remember project nightfall did a vid saying that Chinese young woman would attract men on 抖音( Chinese tiktok) to give money (no hate pls❤)
No, all they want is money. China has a whole entire industry chain in social media. They have actual social media company and teams. They’re not just playing around like the US TikTok they are actually trying make a business.
You can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge you can't escape the knowledge :[-* +]*+
Tiktok algorithm are based on your preference just like TH-cam algorithm, in my case, i deliberately NEVER watch those stupid dance, pranks, or useless trends, in the end my FYP is full of science and educational videos. Meanwhile in China, they deliberately censor those "idiot videos" that makes people only watch educational content in Douyin (Chinese Tiktok), by censoring stupid dance videos, less and less Chinese people making stupid content and encourage Chinese people to make an educational videos.
TikTok not good, you can see changing behavior in TikTok user teenagers. TikTok cause lack of focus, raising anxiety and depression in long term user. the shorts are free but you may pay high price if you get addicted to it
I'm not a TikTok user, but i feel so ashames with the trends in the international version. TikTok in general should endorse meaningful content, and the Chinese version does just that.
It's almost as if autocracy in the government is the solution to crack down on societal issues that plague the people at large. China, I would assume, regulates their Tiktok to show the best it's country has to offer. This in turn, makes people feel proud and promote national pride.
That's what agon just said, the algorithm in china vs the world is different, china's recommendation page is full of educational contents while in the world(mainly USA) the algorithm is full of cringe and dumb shorts where the educational contents get outshined. And China is the one who controls the tiktok's algorithm.
That's the main point, recommendations is different and the algorithm is also different! I didn't have those US badly recommendation but I got anime media instead 😂
just cuz its a chinese firm yall thinking its china doing this. sure it is true chinese tiktok has wholesome and educational content, but they also have various funny skits and goofy videos. the reason why they recommend differing videos is most likely due to cultural differences.
In the Philippines they use Tiktok Videos but we need to balance like we're watching Tiktok in USA or some other countries like that. Philippines is still respect from other countries!!
I was never allowed to have TikTok. A while back I would watch entire documentaries about why TikTok is harmful...I'm thankful that this channel is posting things that may help people in the future.
Chinese Tiktok also has lots of influencers for a fact. Well not usually of this awful sort its more like makeup influencers, practical tricks and tips or tools, but also the dreadful mukbang videos and such things.
wow, China is very wise on tiktok and doing educational stuff.. While Americans are doing idiotic trends. I wish America can be like China, to getting an award of money for doing a idiotic trend and edits, to make trends that are addicting, inspiring, and encouraging to not destroy our minds on something useless. and yet help people, and earn something.
It's funny that Americans are jealous of China. Actually they should envy all of Asia because our culture is better than those stupid teenagers in America. Our Asian tiktok wins in the dance and transformation trend of the Americans, even though they are the best at it, it's only for them. We also know how to shake our hips and show off our sexy bodies but it's never offensive. I am Vietnamese. In fact, the Vietnamese tiktok is similar to that of China, but the percentage of useful videos is lower. However, it still contains countless good and addictive content that is a hundred times more addictive than that of the United States, where there is a lot of garbage.:)))
Despite all of that, limited time on tiktok or not having limited on tiktok is still basically the same. Before my innocent mind was corrupted around the age of 11 years old, I only search for anime and hobbies mainly, causing me to be more creative than I was. Meanwhile, regarding the other people who focus so much on twerking and explicit stuff, I guess everyone's algorithm is different compared to mine, which is why I don't watch some dumb, immature adults and shitty politics in the first place. I stop using TikTok because I was bored with it, so I deleted them. Not until my 13th age that I came back for reminiscing about the good old times when I simp cosplayers with good makeup and professional people, I dream to do that once I got my cosplay from my favorite anime series. Due to that, I only consume anime media, not the other way around. Although it did suck out my energy to do my hobbies but not completely. I still love to write and sing like those successful japanese people But I had to delete it again cause I keep seeing that tiktok is clearly bad for my generation and it's brainwashing people entirely, even my family! I was so disappointed that I eventually choose TH-cam instead, old times is the best than sticking to the trends after all. Remember, the algorithm is different in most of our favorite fields, if you like food or nature, the algorithm might change into weird stuff, especially nature (I don't know if that's possible because nature would be someone hiking, etc etc.) In my opinion, it's all up to us whether to keep using or stop feeding our immature egos. Similar to "becoming dumber but staying on the app to satisfy that tiny brain of yours while still thinking if you're smart with a short duration of time", it's foolish. Whether the app is making you a genius or not, knowledge is the power to fight against it. I trust you, more knowledgeable, fewer egos. Not enough knowledge, more egos. Now that I've thought about it, I do truly wish if Vines never existed. They are indeed my childhood since I'm 06 teen, but I'm not so obsessed with them anymore, so I rather have them as a memory for now. Vines are the main reason why TikTok exists Thank you for listening to my ted talk
watches anime then deletes it, monologue on why its bad. Chooses youtube and algorithm stuff, now another short monolgue why u dum butt u dink u no dum big brain god smol bran bad
I don't know why people are so addicted to TikTok. For me, it just a normal social media like the other. I have TikTok account and rarely use it. I only use it for education purposes and assignment only because yeah my course involving a social media too.
Tiktok's algorithm shows you videos based on your follows, likes, searches, time spent watching, location, etc. I watch and follow a lot of videos on exercise, martial arts, comedy sketches, etc, and that's the type of content I tend to get on the app...

@@VidTDM_XD It's not probably because people go to tiktok to entertain themselves and not learn
It all looks like anti-Chinese hysteria. It has long been known that the consumer society leads to this result. In the West, videos up to 8 minutes long are popular on TH-cam, people almost don’t watch anything longer.
Honestly, the content you see just depends on the person.
Teenagers in the US do tend to like the idiotic contents more.
There are also idiotic contents posted from people living in Asia, but many of us also chose to watch the at least somewhat useful ones.
My dad likes to watch the educational videos, even though he doesn’t seem to have a great sense of judgement towards the content he consumes.
Finally a normal comment. How they tgink tiktok will understand that an video is stupid or educational? It is a depictions of 2 societies
The big problem here are those influenciable children growing up watching TikTok. Not all parents care that much about their children.
as soon as i opened tiktok before signing up, first thing i have to scroll is loads of useless and crazy shts, no educational contents which shows it does not really depend on the user activity from the beginning.
@@infovista192the tiktok algo optimizes for you watching stuff for a longer time. So if you swipe the stupid videos away and stay for the educational stuff, that's what you get. However not sure if the enforcement of time restrictions by Chinas government is true, but if so they are basically doing what every parent should do. I'd argue that tiktok should have an age restriction altogether as the short content really messes with children's brains, educational or not.
What you don’t understand is, they have higher standers while we have none.
Well, that’s why they call it “planet China”

You defeat us by simply standing on the sidelines and watching us punch ourselves in the face over and over again until we knock ourselves out.
Waging warfare in the silliest but most effective way is an art unique only to masters of warfare.
The Americans should not have backed the colonial powers, the grand plan to white wash every colony and force them under a singular doctrine backfired.
What the alpha males avoided, the video game era, backfired heavily as in reality it was the birth of a new type of predator, the cyber warlords.

Interesting.In fact,all are based on self-preference due to algorithm.Even TikTok China has many videos not good for kids.And child pattern is not forced to open because there is no requirement of ID card.Besides,this pattern is a national policy,not originally from the company,so you can also advocate or suggest your government for that
The best thing about this Channel I like is they explain things in a very common way like a person who is not good in English can also be understood
*Dont_Read_My_Names* ....

While I think Agon makes great videos typically, this one is a bit off. The “chinese TikTok” vids he shows are only a small part of the vids on there, and there is still a large amount of useless garbage on there. Some of the studying videos are not in fact promoting studying, but are just videos that complain about studying and the workload of students in China. There are also useless trends in China, where there is this thing called “红眼” (meaning “red eye”), where when someone roasts another person, they get a glowing “red eye” edited on one of their eyes, which appears kinda like a laser beam coming from the eye. Pretty useless and noneducational, if you ask me. Also, there are many videos that conform with foreign trends, as well as videos that create content even more meaningless than the foreign TikTok content. So no, douyin is really no better than TikTok, and I certainly would say that instead of watching useless vids on TikTok or douyin, we could be learning stuff - just like how we all are watching Agon now. This is not an insult to Agon’s research or his credibility, but I find it important that we get the real facts.
Lmao he makes it very clear in the video that he wanted to sound less Anti-China. He's disingenuously praising China in every way possible by inaccurately representing the Chinese Tik Tok community using a small minority of great educational Tik Tok content to bury the bad ones underneath. That's like saying Cuba is a rich country just because you managed to find 1 or 2 millionaires there.

It's not that simple. The more the algorithm feeds people with dumb and addictive content, the more people will be hooked onto it. So why not blame both?
@@mehlanie13 The algorithm shows you what people within your area, state or country are interested in, it's fully automatic (obviously, because it's too much work), so what you see is the common interest in your area
Also it's the content creators they plan to make highly "addictive " content to get people hooked. In order for that to happen they have to edit their videos severely, which is why they are not on TH-cam.
The U.S. is not the only country that uses tiktok.
@@mehlanie13 Then say the other countries who uses tiktok, why blame China when Chinese people aren't even using it. If a feed is a popular one in an app then it would be common for it to appear on others device, since its interest caught people's eyes.

TikTok’s algorithm rewards American creators for making dumb content, by feeding said dumb content to viewers.
It also creates echo chambers for divisive political views by feeding people content that reinforces people’s views, and gradually showing them less content that challenges their opinion.

Even though some of this is definitely true and many of Project Nightfall's other videos are great, this video did judge all this too partially and came to conclusions way too quickly. First of all, anyone who has ever been on douyin knows it's not just entirely educational, and the majority of Tiktok videos aren't actually idiotic. Plus, it's very unlikely that China would control these apps with pure evil intention for other countries, as it does no good. Now people just have an overdramatic view of what's actually going on in China, when most places in China are quite nice and function normally. So, I think this video Is generally correct but also incredibly one-sided, and I think it's very unnecessary to just say "China is waging a secret war", come on guys.
100% agree. This is one of the few project nightfall videos i found more one sided in a way. I agree with everything he's saying and I do acknowledge that it feels tiktok is dumbing our generation, but it definitely isn't necessary to say that China is waging a secret war on us.
Agreed, I’m not Chinese but I don’t even see those type of “idiotic” content. I follow artist who make art tutorials and stuff like that, so I only get art videos recommended to me. The video is extremely biased :/

ummm As someone who wasnt like other people..
my parents were EXTREMELY strict when it came to using devices.
they had a specific time for me to watch which was only 1 hour a day.
They always were aware of what I was watching
but this was only until I was 16.. Now I'm 16 1/2
anyways, ngl, I'm quite happy for that.
My friends who were obssessed over tiktoks and IG, they failed many classes, had expreinced traumas n whatnot.
at first I thought they were weird and bad but now I know, that it was good for me.
Now I think tiktok is useless, insta is trash and snap is nothing.
I do hv acc on them but I'm lietrally BARELY present .. like once in 2 months prbly.
So parents out there, please stop your kids from watching those trash contents! only allow then kids ver of youtube n thats it.
they'll understand one day themselves or you can explain them that once they are mature enough.
I dont compare myself to trash influencers.
I dont do stupid dance twerk shits like most girls
I dont show my body (absolutly never)
I respect my body, I love it, I love myself becz of my strict parents!!!
They ain't extremely strict, they try their best to keep away from those horrible social media from you. I know it's wrong since I'm also from the strict parents, but I'm grateful enough to not let myself absorbed while maintaining my social online interaction.
Both of my parents neglected protecting me on social media which is really unfortunate but after realizing that they will do the same thing to their grandchildren, I immediately got so irritated by their lack of knowledge. I feel sorry to my little siblings who had to deal with that
I have to disagree. It's not trash content - it's a sign of freedom to express oneself regardless of what others' think. A lot of people are tired with overly judgmental people and just need an outlet to express how they feel. Sometimes people just want to have fun, be a bit silly, let themselves loose and not be all serious all the time because it takes away the joys and pleasures of life. I say the right to twerking is the pinnacle achievement of human freedom. Humanity has been oppressed for so long...
@@VOLightPortal people do forget how to unleash their emotion throughout their life.. workout, travel, talk and express their emotion to their parents or qualified friends.

I think, the tiktok's algorithm different because the users preference. Since more US costumer like content dancing, music, another "unique" influencer, etc, the algorithm give them that.
I personally like content education, art, comedy, travelling, etc, in my wall I get contents like that. It happen too when you use TH-cam.
Since chinese goverment can control their medias, they can make rules for their people. The question is why american people, the influencer and costumers don't chose to make and consume more education content?
I'm glad that I never installed Tiktok in my phone and this gives me more reason why I should never. I only use Google and TH-cam and only subscribed to youtubers with educational contents.

People who are watching the app use social media not to waste your time, try to make it productive. Always remember that the time you waste won't come back.
Bruh, I had a long comment but I lost it. Here’s a summary, it’s mainly because of a few of the first videos and trends, sure things can change over time, but tictok haven’t changed, its rewarding more and more bad content but in china, there is this stigma around expressing yourself. This means that more creative content (I’m not saying americas tictok is more creative) is pushed down and more “useful” content is shown. This also means that if people start to post more creative content that isent education based, it won’t do well.
As a douyin user I can tell you the reason why we can’t and don’t use tik tok is because it is banned in our country for china the tik tok app was different tik tok had a tracker the Chinese government found in 2021 so they banned it and we use douyin and what he’s saying is not entirely true you just have to search what u wanna see and after using it for a while they will find out what you like and show you that
The ‘dumb’ videos were created by Americans, thus the Americans see more of those videos. It’s the algorithm. TikTok shows videos depending on your location and preferred language

Meanwhile in China, they deliberately censor those "idiot videos" that makes people only watch educational content in Douyin (Chinese Tiktok), by censoring stupid dance videos, less and less Chinese people making stupid content and encourage Chinese people to make an educational videos.
TikTok not good, you can see changing behavior in TikTok user teenagers. TikTok cause lack of focus, raising anxiety and depression in long term user. the shorts are free but you may pay high price if you get addicted to it
I'm not a TikTok user, but i feel so ashames with the trends in the international version. TikTok in general should endorse meaningful content, and the Chinese version does just that.

It's almost as if autocracy in the government is the solution to crack down on societal issues that plague the people at large. China, I would assume, regulates their Tiktok to show the best it's country has to offer. This in turn, makes people feel proud and promote national pride.
Maybe not all content in tiktok in US is dumb, sometimes the recommendations is just so random at times

In the Philippines they use Tiktok Videos but we need to balance like we're watching Tiktok in USA or some other countries like that. Philippines is still respect from other countries!!
In fact also the Age distriction for the Children too
I was never allowed to have TikTok. A while back I would watch entire documentaries about why TikTok is harmful...I'm thankful that this channel is posting things that may help people in the future.
Chinese Tiktok also has lots of influencers for a fact. Well not usually of this awful sort its more like makeup influencers, practical tricks and tips or tools, but also the dreadful mukbang videos and such things.
wow, China is very wise on tiktok and doing educational stuff.. While Americans are doing idiotic trends. I wish America can be like China, to getting an award of money for doing a idiotic trend and edits, to make trends that are addicting, inspiring, and encouraging to not destroy our minds on something useless. and yet help people, and earn something.
It's funny that Americans are jealous of China. Actually they should envy all of Asia because our culture is better than those stupid teenagers in America. Our Asian tiktok wins in the dance and transformation trend of the Americans, even though they are the best at it, it's only for them. We also know how to shake our hips and show off our sexy bodies but it's never offensive. I am Vietnamese. In fact, the Vietnamese tiktok is similar to that of China, but the percentage of useful videos is lower. However, it still contains countless good and addictive content that is a hundred times more addictive than that of the United States, where there is a lot of garbage.:)))
Don't forget Asian rap too
It has become better than American rap
Despite all of that, limited time on tiktok or not having limited on tiktok is still basically the same. Before my innocent mind was corrupted around the age of 11 years old, I only search for anime and hobbies mainly, causing me to be more creative than I was. Meanwhile, regarding the other people who focus so much on twerking and explicit stuff, I guess everyone's algorithm is different compared to mine, which is why I don't watch some dumb, immature adults and shitty politics in the first place.
I stop using TikTok because I was bored with it, so I deleted them. Not until my 13th age that I came back for reminiscing about the good old times when I simp cosplayers with good makeup and professional people, I dream to do that once I got my cosplay from my favorite anime series. Due to that, I only consume anime media, not the other way around. Although it did suck out my energy to do my hobbies but not completely. I still love to write and sing like those successful japanese people
But I had to delete it again cause I keep seeing that tiktok is clearly bad for my generation and it's brainwashing people entirely, even my family! I was so disappointed that I eventually choose TH-cam instead, old times is the best than sticking to the trends after all.
Remember, the algorithm is different in most of our favorite fields, if you like food or nature, the algorithm might change into weird stuff, especially nature (I don't know if that's possible because nature would be someone hiking, etc etc.)
In my opinion, it's all up to us whether to keep using or stop feeding our immature egos. Similar to "becoming dumber but staying on the app to satisfy that tiny brain of yours while still thinking if you're smart with a short duration of time", it's foolish. Whether the app is making you a genius or not, knowledge is the power to fight against it. I trust you, more knowledgeable, fewer egos. Not enough knowledge, more egos.
Now that I've thought about it, I do truly wish if Vines never existed. They are indeed my childhood since I'm 06 teen, but I'm not so obsessed with them anymore, so I rather have them as a memory for now. Vines are the main reason why TikTok exists
Thank you for listening to my ted talk

I don't know why people are so addicted to TikTok. For me, it just a normal social media like the other. I have TikTok account and rarely use it. I only use it for education purposes and assignment only because yeah my course involving a social media too.
Tiktok's algorithm shows you videos based on your follows, likes, searches, time spent watching, location, etc. I watch and follow a lot of videos on exercise, martial arts, comedy sketches, etc, and that's the type of content I tend to get on the app...
