Kind and gentle reminder that no one is immune to propaganda, especially you. Critical thinking is SO important right now, never think you’re above being fooled for the gain of another.
Also never get your news from a single source ESPECIALLY social media where people can just make shit up and be uncorrected. Use multiple sources and articles and truly investigate what you hear and read. Take everything with a grain of salt, and don't think likes = proven
I noticed this recently. I acidentally trained my algorithim to show me wars, true crime and people freaking out about trump (understandable), and it was ruining my mental health. So heads up, if your timelines look like that, you can just click on "not interested" and it will stop showing those things. I know we should be versed in politics and be good people, but ONLY seeing this will ruin your mental health.
true. But what I observed from american reactions to tiktok ban I kinda don't knowwww. ppl act like us propaganda is real bad(it is) but now chinese is wonderland free of propaganda, is kinda insane. and also waht nikki said "what do they gonna do with our silly brainrot information" well if they really get their hand on. it's not that hard to use lol. ppl are underestimating propaganda.
literallyyy i see it all the time online and in person especially politically like guys..... politicians are flawed and most people who get power will make bad choices that affect people negatively. hold them accountable and challenge them regularly, we should not be idolizing and praising candidates. none of them will make the right choices all the time and you need to question them when they inevitably make selfish decisions for money or power
International right wing propaganda is insane honestly. That notification hit every phone in the world with TikTok installed. Not even just US phones. That lie and that action should be illegal.
I never see anyone talk about the fact that TT ISNT ACTUALLY BACK??? it’s still banned in the App Store so now people like me who deleted it can’t get back on. I feel like this is such a huge part of the story that I haven’t seen anyone big touch on yet.
THIS!!! i was trying to redownload it so i could DELETE MY ACCOUNT in protest of the tr*mpification but now i just… can’t. something is very clearly off about this whole situation beyond just the speed of tr*mp’s 180 and it feels like i’m the only one who knows😭
@@jonwoods4590 it’s still banned, and apple and google don’t want to put it back into their stores so they can continue complying with the law. tiktok actually tried getting it back in since updates are needed and the app needs to be in the store for that, but google and apple won’t do it. thats the reason it’s not back. if it gets sold then it’ll be back since it won’t be against the law, but for now it’s still banned and those companies want to comply. bc they’re annoying lmao
as a political analyst, on a political level, tiktok is terrifying. its capacity for propaganda is incredibly risky-and i don't mean foreign propaganda, just the ability to see ONLY what you want to see with their algorithm let me note: I 100% agree with your pros, it's super important that we have access to see the world and things politicians etc don't want us to see. The larger problem though is the algorithm: if you don't want to see Palestine, you won't, so it does little to nothing to change people's minds. I couldn't care less that China owns it, but it's quite literally too OP in its design
I agree. It's scary when things are too catered. Living in an echo chamber is dangerous. Only way to curb this is to seek community but not everyone has that.
I mean, hear me out, what if we don't want to see political stuff on tiktok because we'd rather get it from official news sources, independent or otherwise? Idk just think the political stuff I've seen on tiktok tends to be the most misinformation spreading bs of the bunch :/
22:57 im a teenage girl in sophomore year, and the things i hear girls and guys say about other girls is actually DIABOLICAL. i used to consider myself conventionally attractive until tiktok influenced people my age that they need to look like models, have flat stomachs, or else they are ugly and irredeemable. i genuinely can barley look at myself in the mirror because i have a strong jawline, deepset eyes, and a nose that’s not a round, button nose. the way teenage boys my age describe 14-17 year olds is so fucking sad. no she’s not chopped she’s literally just average height, body type, and weight for someone YOUR AGE. sorry she doesn’t look like adriana lima or zendaya at the age of 16? the way it’s become acceptable to make fun of “ugly” people is insane. the pressure to grow up, look prettier, get into a relationship (or else your really ugly and nobody loves you), but don’t get into too many relationships or your a whore, be confident, but not confident in a way that’s not neurotypical or doesn’t fit into very specific ways we tell you to be confident. it’s so ridiculous it almost makes me want to say “fuck it” and be confident in myself, but i literally don’t feel pretty or happy in my body anymore. i know beauty standards have always been a thing online, but i can tell you, it’s worse than it’s ever been right now.
Baby girl let me give you a piece of advice from a 23 year old woman who for the majority of my life has felt the exact same way as you. Ditch social media. Or at least take a small break. I know it’ll be hard as you’re in school and younger so your social life is very much linked with being online but for the sake of yourself and your mental health and peace, take a break. Go outside, take a look around and then deep deep within. Social media is made to make women feel horribly about themselves because there’s SO much money to be profited from having us be insecure and unhappy with ourselves. The way you feel will get better over time, I promise you. It may not be easy and I spent a long time in therapy but the key component here is taking a step back from your socials. You are beautiful for your soul, the body you live in is just a plus so you can walk/run/fish/sky dive etc. You are so much more than the way you look and FUCK what other people have to say about you. I wish you so much success and love in you life sweet pea I truly hope and know that one day you will come back to loving yourself for who you are
@@PurpleMoonStormI was bullied to the point where kids in my grade had bets on when i’d off myself. I get it. As I mentioned in my reply i went through a lot of therapy to work through it all. It’s not easy, and that’s not what I was implying. Kids are mean, adults get busy and tend to only care about themselves. It’s bittersweet but you eventually find this middle ground of “oh I feel unsure and uncomfortable here but the only way for it to get better is for me to work through it”. you realize that the majority of people are too concerned with themselves and…it’s freeing. It’s something I still have to work through every day but as I said it gets better but it takes work and time and self compassion. Hating myself was the only thing consistent in my life for a very long time and it’s hard to part with that. It can be scary. But it can and will ruin your life if you let it. The hardest part is trying to stop. Anyways, apologies for the long tangent, I still stand by what I said
@@garfieldshauntedmansion420 i'm about to turn 20 and i havent had social media since i was 17; not only do i not hate the way i look anymore, i have also stopped looking for flaws in other people and i've stopped thinking of other people as "ugly". fully agree with you
I can also confirm it WILL get better, people are very judgy but most people grow out of those mindsets and people realise what REALLY matters later in life. Plus people grow into their face/body, so don't think your current teenage self is as good as it gets. Trust me, it gets better 🤍
thank you for helping spread the word about Uyghurs and Palestinians. Social activisim like this in the youth is much needed in these turburlent times ❤
do we NEED it? probably not. however, banning tiktok alone when facebook and google are doing the same shit is alarming and indicative of a surveillance state that just doesn’t want to be surveilled by foreign companies
"a surveillance state that just doesn’t want to be surveilled by foreign companies" it's not about that. it's about back-end encryption. NSA can't access bytedance userbase info the way it can on american/rest of 'western' world platforms. why do you think the nefarious tech bros running this country have tried buying the algorithm, and shou is forbidden to sell it?
Not only do Facebook and Google do it...they also get defense contracts from the US government. Hell, Palantir and Andurel are probably spying on Americans just as much if not more. I don't want companies that make bombs and drones and "defense software" sucking up my data. Good Lord living in the US is terrifying...
you're not wrong! the biggest difference is the algorithm targeting- google and meta are not as good at keeping you in your own bubble (though they are still too good at it)
28:28 my mother literally became a published self help author with mostly ai tools purely based on the narcissist trend it’s making me go crazy. She has no expertise or training whatsoever besides the fact that she was a CYW 18 years ago and is adamant that the men in our family are narcissists and not just generationally traumatized undiagnosed autistics help me
I don't use tik Tok personally but I've heard ever since it's been back up they've been blocking a lot of content especially pro Palestine content is getting flagged as against community guidelines
My entire fyp is political content, breaking news and liberals vs leftists. I started searching “funny videos” and it still gives me depressing content
Opposite for me, for the past year I haven't seen any Palestinian content despite always interacting with the videos, since the ban I'm suddenly getting flooded with pro-Palestinian ads and content. I feel like a lot of our algorithms are messed up
this has already been happening. way too many ppl are spreading misinformation about the app newly censoring things when those said things were already censored. such as trying to search hitler or genocide… those things were already very much “not okay” to search given what they are. they’ve never been “okay” in tiktok terms. they also have to legally announce if they’re changing algorithms, or flagging new content and so on. you can actually find what they flag in their terms or something. there’s a guy On tiktok that works with stuff like this and he reads terms and services to show ppl what they say and if there’s changes, and nothing was actually changed yet. once it’s sold though then yes it’ll obviously end up being meta/x 2.0 sadly
"bird test" it's called "emotional bids" 😭😭😭 and it shouldn't be used as a test for someone. The point of the theory is that happier couples express interest in each others' bids for attention/affection more often than unhappy couples. Don't just test your partner on stuff, like the orange peel thing too. It's actually about saying "do you see me?" "yes I see you", not some big test of whether your relationship will fail 😭
1 hour agooo woooo!! no but it's so weird (coming from germany) to have seen people in a discord server freaking out about tiktok disappearing. i was lowkey just thinking that i would FINALLY have an excuse to not use tiktok anymore (since updates wouldn't be made anymore) that i was kind of disappointed when tiktok was back. but, this is all an absolute nightmare either way, ESPECIALLY that court interaction.
How did you literally fit an entire RUclips video's worth of content into the first 8 minutes. Here I was after my meal thinking, "Oh well, the video's gonna end soon," and then I find out there's an hour and 16 minutes left.
No real cus I’d literally lose my mind if i was doing that shit all the time, it’d make me feel like a monster man. I can barely throw out old clothes without feeling like a pos😭
The US mods on the Minecraft servers are 1000% selling our data. At least they did with mine. I am a native european and always had several email addresses for different occasions and wouldn’t even give out my phone number to coworkers. I have never received any sort of weird messages or spam. I married my husband and the US Minecraft Army needed my data in order for me to put my bed next to my husbands. Since the mails i would get from them were very important i used an extra email address. Note that i have NEVER used this mail for anything else. On top of that I gave them my number which I have had for at least 6 years prior. And almost instantly, like a week later i would get strange messages and phone calls from unknown and foreign numbers (this has never happened before) and my mail inbox started filling up with spam. The change was so noteable that this couldn’t be a coincidence at all. Ive seen my husband deal with spamcalls and odd messages all the time and was confused how these things could even happen. But there you have it. The minecraft army is 100% selling ppls data
It wasn't just that the American government was afraid of Chinese propaganda but also the ADL was mad that so much aniti Isreal talk was flourishing on TikTok.
21:38 Can I say something quick too? I HATE THE SKINCARE and Kbeauty TIKTOKS, everyone is a dermatologist and expert, even the dermatologists are out here recommending products which people blindly follow. Everyone be recommending retinol, salicylic acid, AHA BHA RARELY MENTIONING PURGING, there is a high chance people are going to break out like mad for a month which is… fun fact not so fun or worth it for clear skin, or the worst that could happen to the majority is a broken skin barrier and there goes clear skin. I literally just use a cleanser, the snail mucin and a moisturizer now. 😪
what you’re saying is really true however as someone who has had eczema for my entire life i believe people thought of themselves as dermatologists looong before tiktok unfortunately, but tiktok definitely made it worst. ngl ever since i was a child every adult i ever met saw my skin and gave me some unsolicited advices and recommended products that would probably burn my skin off
@@vilerat-m8tHaha been there, had eczema on my ear and scalp, and every shampoo and cream only made it worse, maybe I was sensitive to stuff? Eventually stopped everything, got homeopathic medicine, took maybe 6 months, had to stop meat, seafood, tomato and eggplant for a while and thank god that phase is over 😭
My problem with the skincare is that no one mentions how to layer properly or what actives to use together. You cannot just slap stuff on your face and hope for the best, I mean you can but you will damage your skin barrier. The other part is you have to take in consideration your skin type and your environment. Finding your skin type is actually pretty difficult, it’s not clear cut you may need to see a dermatologist in person to get an idea.
“the bird test” DOES have some basis, it’s called bids for attention. married couples that stay together respond to those “little things” more than married couples who end up getting divorced. those who stayed together responded 86% of the time, vs 33% for couples who divorced. so even happily married couples don’t respond ALL the time, reducing that down to a one time “test” is ridiculous.
on Uyghur censorship, i literally remember finding out about it on TikTok in 2020 and then I started posting about it on Instagram which made hella people trying to gaslight me that it was a xenophobic lie and psy-op. i actually felt a little embarassed for believing it and i haven’t thought about it much since i got that backlash. i’m just a random person and yet people online were dragging me for trying to speak about it…
and obviously this is similar to how people treat me being pro-Palestinian, pro-Black on the internet but i specifically recall how when i spoke about the treatment of the Uyghur muslims in China, folks would come out of the woodworks to tell me that I was being racist/xenophobic for “spreading the lie.” these comments were also largely from other American users and it was also at a time where people still said that anti-zionism is anti-semitic…. people want to act like genocide is just a debatable topic and not a verifiable reality…
Idk why people think it's a lie, we literally have satellite images of the camps, survivors in the diaspora talk about it, and China just says they're "re-education camps", which... is basically an admission lol. Like it's not a coincidence that China wiped out hundreds of thousands of Christians and has cracked down on religious expression, communism as a sociopolitical/philosophical ideology is inherently anti-religion.
I dont say this to defend censorship or china (they censor any kind of political conspiracies on the chinese internet) but the primary sources for the claims about ethnic cleansing specificially are adrian zenz and the victims of communism foundation, which are both sponsered by the US state department, also multiple international bodies who have talked about other genocides like palestine have looked into it and refuse to declare it a genocide with there being a lot of evidence backing up the claims that the "camps" were just propagadistic trade schools meant to quell supposed terrorist activity, which is fucked up, but it is not ethnic cleansing, theres a ton of info about this topic on the chinese and english internet so i really encourage people to look into this topic and make sure to read your sources, and also like look into if those sources are far right or not 😭
It's so funny how it just got banned for 14 hours, just to return with a thank message to Trump. But those 14 hours were very, very calm as an European. Kinda miss it
Many black creators were making sad posts on how peaceful it was when it got banned and how there was less racist videos/comments, and then when it got unbanned HUNDREDS of americans were harassing the creators, so yeah, i miss it too😭😭
@jordan-my2vl yes? im talking about how most Americans wouldve been asleep during the ban... you understand THAT right? mb i didnt clarity enough though
It's crazy to me that the government was trying to blame social media at all for this change in public attitudes to war, instead of accepting it as a change in attitudes due to the education we were given. At least here in the UK (not sure how different it is in America) but most of our history lessons were centred around some form of war/ or conflict. It was learning about peacemakers and pacifists during those lessons, and ya know the millions of innocent people who were murdered due to the power and greed of rich elites that formed my anti-war stance, seeing the fallout of the Palestine genoc*de only solidified it. The holocaust is something that was drilled into our memories, there was usually at least a module a semester covering it, they really think after hearing about all the pain the last war caused for our formative years would make any of us want to go and fight again? No. Nobody wants to go to war, and its crazy they think people wouldn't care that it's happening again. Edit: I'll also add, maybe controversially that I never saw any of the soldiers fighting as heroes either, they were victims too. I know America has a real "soldiers are heroes" complex, that the UK has to an extent too - but I've always hated that. People have either been killed or killed others in senseless conflict, there's nothing herotic about it. They're murders, or victims, if not both. I just wanted to rant about this, because this whole ban being pinned on tiktok - as if it's not a literal shift in generational perspectives is ridiculous.
Also from the UK and I'd like to add that a case study in geography covered how Shell absoloutely fucked over the Niger Delta area and I honestly doubt America would teach the same thing
Not to mention instagram auto following trump, vance, and melania 😭 Im just so over this country- I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again this is a hypocrisy not a democracy
i used to use tik tok to have conversations about politics with like minded people and get unbiased news but ever since i saw that “thanks trump” ass message when they came back online i knew id never log in again and deleted my account 😭 it’s now super censored and idk how anybody ever uses it everyday anymore
i gotta say, the overconsumption really gets me. i mean, i could prooooobably even understand that someone who does makeup for a living has an unreasonable amount of cosmetics, but then picturing it as a dream and thus normalising having HALF OF SEPHORA'S MONTHLY SUPPLY in your drawer?? and we have all the ppl in the comments saying stuff like "omg im jealus" or "damn, that amount of blushes is my dream", and no one wants to acknowledge that it's neither normal nor healthy
The part with Rednote at the end was super sweet and this video was incredibly well researched! Love your work Nikki it made me not wanna lose hope in humanity after all
I work in the AI field and trust me when I say that all the companies that are coming up with AI machines for various purposes has data 99% taken from customers who have no idea. Telemarketing calls, emails, a lot of stuff with sensitive information is used to train the machine, and here’s the shocker, almost all these companies HQ is in Tel Aviv. So technically, Israel has the US government by the hair, and it explains why US keeps backing them up, cause one wrong move and everything will be out there.
I have no clue how this part of the video (17:50) got messed up… maybe the creature hacked it themself. Here’s the unlisted version so you can see it the way we actually intended-no paranormal feline interference lol: ruclips.net/video/QdEKE_MX-eE/видео.html
55:00 - not only does COD work with the US Govt recently Activision had employed Fran Townsend, United States Homeland Security Advisor under Bush Jr who worked on Abu Ghraib, and like one of the deputy directors of the CIA under Trump one lol - and America's Army was meant to be pretty good and influential in its own way on the military sim genre
21:00 this trend is so annoying. so many people stink so bad in the other direction now, and I get to randomly have asthma attacks when I go into public spaces due to atomic levels of fragrance
I actually have an example for the misinformation part. So in November 2024 Romania had the president elections and here there are political parties candidates and independent candidates. Before the election, like 2-3 weeks before, there was one independent candidate that would pop up on my for you page all the time, Calin Georgescu. No other type of propaganda, only tik tok, and guess what, he WON the first election. It was actually such a big scandal here in Romania that the first round of elections was cancelled, he is truly an awful guy.
sooooo you're telling me that I was fkn right about meta AI and not allowing it to activate in my phone, while all my friends called me paranoid for not enabling it
I'm only 25 min in and I hope you cover the whole algorithm change since after the ban. My feed was so messed up because I didn't see anyone I followed until I blocked facebook and instagram. Now my feed is fine. HOW DOES THAT WORK I NEED TO KNOW I AM SO CONFUSED!!! I saw a video and I didn't think it would actually work, but now I'm seeing all my favorites again.
If there is one person I trust to consistently speak up about what is going on in the world, its you Nikki! Thank you so much for making these videos and always mentioning Palestine and how intertwined zionism is with current news issues! As silly as the tiktok ban is, it makes the world of difference for Palestinians trying to be heard all across the globe!! Again thank you and lots of love 🫶
I haven’t finished the video yet so if you mention this sorry, but I’ve been noticing how short they made the ban. If they made the ban longer, people would realize how much better their life is without it. They not only wanted to “ban” then “save” the app, they want to make sure the user base doesn’t leave when they do “save” it. I haven’t used the app since it was “banned” and my life is 100x better
Maybe it’s a good thing that something like this happened. People don’t pay attention to politics unless it affects them. With tik tok being taken away lots of people have realized that not being involved in politics or at least aware of them actively hurts you as a citizen.
The Red Note stuff is so wholesome. When I was in junior high or high school I had a Chinese pen pal. They were nice and the paper they wrote on was so cool.
I would also like to point out that there was a time when we all made jokes about the NSA listening in our phones ???? Like we KNEW our biggest data breach was our OWN GOVERNMENT AND WEVE BEEN KNOWING THAT 😭😭
i deleted tiktok on my main phone but i have it on my old phone. its like having a bad relationship with my ex and i only text him on that old broken phone to keep myself from relapsing
Book recommendations! Works of Play and Fun, Taste, & Games (both by John Sharp). They take an analytic look at video games through an artistic lens and go into CoD a bit. Origins in being used as military simulators before video games like that existed for the public. Similar to internet

Hey, if anyone wants to really question wth the Us gov is doing, go ahead and look into what they have been doing in Australia, my own country. In my home territory, they took native land away to make a military (spy) base to get information on this side of the earth they can't reach from the us (aka china and every Asian/Oceania country). Not to mention how much of our land is a Us army/navy base... we see them almost everyday. Plz send help and take them home...

OMG THE RUFUS NACHO GAME, you just unlocked an old ass memory lol, love ya :D I want to mention that it's not exactly true that students were being attacked by the government in Tiananmen, it's actually more propaganda. There's evidence that americans were trying to lie about it. There's a video by RUclipsr Hakim on this.
24:56 yes please I would love a video discussing the unrealistic beauty standard problems of social media. I entered my teenage years as instagram became a thing and its ruined my life I swear
You cooked with this one Nikki, great video. As an european I was only acutely aware of everything that was going on so this was not only educational in that field but the history segements, and ""fun facts"" abt USA government.... gyat damn. The short brainrot clips was just the icing on the cake.
The word propaganda always makes me think of someone saying it with an accent and going “take a propa ganda at me nutz!” Which the minecraft gov can do instead of taking proper ganders at miners Like why do they get the diamond pickaxe and leave all us with wooden pickaxes when we are the ones doing all the work! Can’t keep working when my hunger and health bar are so low
Personally what kind of ticks me off is when people love to use the excuse but “TikTok is important for small creators and business owners “ like OK that’s not my problem go to a different app don’t put all your eggs in one basket
You’re not gonna hear anyone disagreeing with you because anything that can be construed as anti China rhetoric is suppressed across the board. Maybe that’s one of the reasons TikTok is banned in China. I’m tryna understand but only finding like half the story because they do literally have a hold on our people. This has been transformed from a national security issue to a free speech issue. Who does that benefit and how did that happen? Ive questions galore 😕 😖
Nikki! Thank you for making this video! It is so important, and made me realize how much I don't actually know about the situation. We need this information out and accessible. You're an amazing youtuber, and made this all digestible.
The crazy thing is that “bird test” is based on a real psychological study BUT they didn’t just test the subjects once, they monitored them for like an entire day and counted how many times their partner validated them in small ways, then followed up with those couples later to see if they were still together. So yeah, asking your partner ONE TIME isn’t a good indicator. It’s more like if you’re dating someone who consistently doesn’t take an interest in the things you say.
i deleted Tik tok 2 years ago and it was such a good decision. i’ve noticed people who doom scroll always end up thinking in similar ways and it’s usually misinformation or someone making them buy something. it’s kinda scary

Hi Athena :D
Same. Broke my heart but same.
International right wing propaganda is insane honestly. That notification hit every phone in the world with TikTok installed. Not even just US phones. That lie and that action should be illegal.

I talk about this all of the time as well
Boosting this bc I agree! Other sm platforms are p bad as well, but hopefully we're able to make a well-meaning platform, ad free, oligarchy free 🙏
I mean, hear me out, what if we don't want to see political stuff on tiktok because we'd rather get it from official news sources, independent or otherwise? Idk just think the political stuff I've seen on tiktok tends to be the most misinformation spreading bs of the bunch :/

22:57 im a teenage girl in sophomore year, and the things i hear girls and guys say about other girls is actually DIABOLICAL. i used to consider myself conventionally attractive until tiktok influenced people my age that they need to look like models, have flat stomachs, or else they are ugly and irredeemable. i genuinely can barley look at myself in the mirror because i have a strong jawline, deepset eyes, and a nose that’s not a round, button nose. the way teenage boys my age describe 14-17 year olds is so fucking sad. no she’s not chopped she’s literally just average height, body type, and weight for someone YOUR AGE. sorry she doesn’t look like adriana lima or zendaya at the age of 16? the way it’s become acceptable to make fun of “ugly” people is insane. the pressure to grow up, look prettier, get into a relationship (or else your really ugly and nobody loves you), but don’t get into too many relationships or your a whore, be confident, but not confident in a way that’s not neurotypical or doesn’t fit into very specific ways we tell you to be confident. it’s so ridiculous it almost makes me want to say “fuck it” and be confident in myself, but i literally don’t feel pretty or happy in my body anymore. i know beauty standards have always been a thing online, but i can tell you, it’s worse than it’s ever been right now.
Baby girl let me give you a piece of advice from a 23 year old woman who for the majority of my life has felt the exact same way as you. Ditch social media. Or at least take a small break. I know it’ll be hard as you’re in school and younger so your social life is very much linked with being online but for the sake of yourself and your mental health and peace, take a break. Go outside, take a look around and then deep deep within. Social media is made to make women feel horribly about themselves because there’s SO much money to be profited from having us be insecure and unhappy with ourselves. The way you feel will get better over time, I promise you. It may not be easy and I spent a long time in therapy but the key component here is taking a step back from your socials. You are beautiful for your soul, the body you live in is just a plus so you can walk/run/fish/sky dive etc. You are so much more than the way you look and FUCK what other people have to say about you. I wish you so much success and love in you life sweet pea I truly hope and know that one day you will come back to loving yourself for who you are
Sending you a virtual hug ❤
@@PurpleMoonStormI was bullied to the point where kids in my grade had bets on when i’d off myself. I get it. As I mentioned in my reply i went through a lot of therapy to work through it all. It’s not easy, and that’s not what I was implying. Kids are mean, adults get busy and tend to only care about themselves. It’s bittersweet but you eventually find this middle ground of “oh I feel unsure and uncomfortable here but the only way for it to get better is for me to work through it”. you realize that the majority of people are too concerned with themselves and…it’s freeing. It’s something I still have to work through every day but as I said it gets better but it takes work and time and self compassion. Hating myself was the only thing consistent in my life for a very long time and it’s hard to part with that. It can be scary. But it can and will ruin your life if you let it. The hardest part is trying to stop. Anyways, apologies for the long tangent, I still stand by what I said
@@garfieldshauntedmansion420 i'm about to turn 20 and i havent had social media since i was 17; not only do i not hate the way i look anymore, i have also stopped looking for flaws in other people and i've stopped thinking of other people as "ugly". fully agree with you
I can also confirm it WILL get better, people are very judgy but most people grow out of those mindsets and people realise what REALLY matters later in life. Plus people grow into their face/body, so don't think your current teenage self is as good as it gets. Trust me, it gets better 🤍

thank you for helping spread the word about Uyghurs and Palestinians. Social activisim like this in the youth is much needed in these turburlent times ❤
do we NEED it? probably not. however, banning tiktok alone when facebook and google are doing the same shit is alarming and indicative of a surveillance state that just doesn’t want to be surveilled by foreign companies
Preach
"a surveillance state that just doesn’t want to be surveilled by foreign companies" it's not about that. it's about back-end encryption. NSA can't access bytedance userbase info the way it can on american/rest of 'western' world platforms. why do you think the nefarious tech bros running this country have tried buying the algorithm, and shou is forbidden to sell it?
Not only do Facebook and Google do it...they also get defense contracts from the US government. Hell, Palantir and Andurel are probably spying on Americans just as much if not more. I don't want companies that make bombs and drones and "defense software" sucking up my data. Good Lord living in the US is terrifying...
you're not wrong! the biggest difference is the algorithm targeting- google and meta are not as good at keeping you in your own bubble (though they are still too good at it)

what the FREAK bro, this is actually crazy. I’m so sorry dude
I don't use tik Tok personally but I've heard ever since it's been back up they've been blocking a lot of content especially pro Palestine content is getting flagged as against community guidelines
My entire fyp is political content, breaking news and liberals vs leftists. I started searching “funny videos” and it still gives me depressing content
Opposite for me, for the past year I haven't seen any Palestinian content despite always interacting with the videos, since the ban I'm suddenly getting flooded with pro-Palestinian ads and content. I feel like a lot of our algorithms are messed up
this has already been happening. way too many ppl are spreading misinformation about the app newly censoring things when those said things were already censored. such as trying to search hitler or genocide… those things were already very much “not okay” to search given what they are. they’ve never been “okay” in tiktok terms. they also have to legally announce if they’re changing algorithms, or flagging new content and so on. you can actually find what they flag in their terms or something. there’s a guy On tiktok that works with stuff like this and he reads terms and services to show ppl what they say and if there’s changes, and nothing was actually changed yet. once it’s sold though then yes it’ll obviously end up being meta/x 2.0 sadly
They clearly sat down with some government spook who told them the changes to make to keep the app available. Gross.

"bird test" it's called "emotional bids" 😭😭😭 and it shouldn't be used as a test for someone. The point of the theory is that happier couples express interest in each others' bids for attention/affection more often than unhappy couples. Don't just test your partner on stuff, like the orange peel thing too. It's actually about saying "do you see me?" "yes I see you", not some big test of whether your relationship will fail 😭
Thank youuu! I am baffled at how she got so far away from what gottman was actually trying to say … she didn’t even use the word bids 🙃

no but it's so weird (coming from germany) to have seen people in a discord server freaking out about tiktok disappearing. i was lowkey just thinking that i would FINALLY have an excuse to not use tiktok anymore (since updates wouldn't be made anymore) that i was kind of disappointed when tiktok was back. but, this is all an absolute nightmare either way, ESPECIALLY that court interaction.
How did you literally fit an entire RUclips video's worth of content into the first 8 minutes. Here I was after my meal thinking, "Oh well, the video's gonna end soon," and then I find out there's an hour and 16 minutes left.

The US mods on the Minecraft servers are 1000% selling our data. At least they did with mine. I am a native european and always had several email addresses for different occasions and wouldn’t even give out my phone number to coworkers. I have never received any sort of weird messages or spam. I married my husband and the US Minecraft Army needed my data in order for me to put my bed next to my husbands. Since the mails i would get from them were very important i used an extra email address. Note that i have NEVER used this mail for anything else. On top of that I gave them my number which I have had for at least 6 years prior. And almost instantly, like a week later i would get strange messages and phone calls from unknown and foreign numbers (this has never happened before) and my mail inbox started filling up with spam. The change was so noteable that this couldn’t be a coincidence at all. Ive seen my husband deal with spamcalls and odd messages all the time and was confused how these things could even happen. But there you have it. The minecraft army is 100% selling ppls data
It wasn't just that the American government was afraid of Chinese propaganda but also the ADL was mad that so much aniti Isreal talk was flourishing on TikTok.
THIS. z*onists wanted this platform shit down. too bad for them - the truth is out and cannot be unseen.
21:38 Can I say something quick too? I HATE THE SKINCARE and
Kbeauty TIKTOKS, everyone is a dermatologist and expert, even the dermatologists are out here recommending products which people blindly follow.
Everyone be recommending retinol, salicylic acid, AHA BHA RARELY MENTIONING PURGING, there is a high chance people are going to break out like mad for a month which is… fun fact not so fun or worth it for clear skin, or the worst that could happen to the majority is a broken skin barrier and there goes clear skin.
I literally just use a cleanser, the snail mucin and a moisturizer now. 😪
what you’re saying is really true however as someone who has had eczema for my entire life i believe people thought of themselves as dermatologists looong before tiktok unfortunately, but tiktok definitely made it worst. ngl ever since i was a child every adult i ever met saw my skin and gave me some unsolicited advices and recommended products that would probably burn my skin off
Plus Koreans have a different skin type lol. My Chinese friend thinks it’s wild
@@vilerat-m8tHaha been there, had eczema on my ear and scalp, and every shampoo and cream only made it worse, maybe I was sensitive to stuff? Eventually stopped everything, got homeopathic medicine, took maybe 6 months, had to stop meat, seafood, tomato and eggplant for a while and thank god that phase is over 😭
@@frostyantiromantic7910 i’m glad you got better! did you find out if you had maybe some food allergies or something that was causing it?
My problem with the skincare is that no one mentions how to layer properly or what actives to use together. You cannot just slap stuff on your face and hope for the best, I mean you can but you will damage your skin barrier. The other part is you have to take in consideration your skin type and your environment. Finding your skin type is actually pretty difficult, it’s not clear cut you may need to see a dermatologist in person to get an idea.
Nooo, not them sharing my search history “bl romance with Mark and Elon 😢
“the bird test” DOES have some basis, it’s called bids for attention. married couples that stay together respond to those “little things” more than married couples who end up getting divorced. those who stayed together responded 86% of the time, vs 33% for couples who divorced. so even happily married couples don’t respond ALL the time, reducing that down to a one time “test” is ridiculous.
loving the makeup its giving barn owl (in the best way) with the eye shaping :0 idk why i describe things this way but it makes sense to me
I had a tiktok account with 10k followers that I grew for 3-4 years, yet deleting that app was the best decision I ever made
I don't know what it is, but I love your profile picture.
on Uyghur censorship, i literally remember finding out about it on TikTok in 2020 and then I started posting about it on Instagram which made hella people trying to gaslight me that it was a xenophobic lie and psy-op. i actually felt a little embarassed for believing it and i haven’t thought about it much since i got that backlash. i’m just a random person and yet people online were dragging me for trying to speak about it…
and obviously this is similar to how people treat me being pro-Palestinian, pro-Black on the internet but i specifically recall how when i spoke about the treatment of the Uyghur muslims in China, folks would come out of the woodworks to tell me that I was being racist/xenophobic for “spreading the lie.” these comments were also largely from other American users and it was also at a time where people still said that anti-zionism is anti-semitic…. people want to act like genocide is just a debatable topic and not a verifiable reality…
Idk why people think it's a lie, we literally have satellite images of the camps, survivors in the diaspora talk about it, and China just says they're "re-education camps", which... is basically an admission lol. Like it's not a coincidence that China wiped out hundreds of thousands of Christians and has cracked down on religious expression, communism as a sociopolitical/philosophical ideology is inherently anti-religion.
I dont say this to defend censorship or china (they censor any kind of political conspiracies on the chinese internet) but the primary sources for the claims about ethnic cleansing specificially are adrian zenz and the victims of communism foundation, which are both sponsered by the US state department, also multiple international bodies who have talked about other genocides like palestine have looked into it and refuse to declare it a genocide with there being a lot of evidence backing up the claims that the "camps" were just propagadistic trade schools meant to quell supposed terrorist activity, which is fucked up, but it is not ethnic cleansing, theres a ton of info about this topic on the chinese and english internet so i really encourage people to look into this topic and make sure to read your sources, and also like look into if those sources are far right or not 😭
It's so funny how it just got banned for 14 hours, just to return with a thank message to Trump. But those 14 hours were very, very calm as an European. Kinda miss it
Many black creators were making sad posts on how peaceful it was when it got banned and how there was less racist videos/comments, and then when it got unbanned HUNDREDS of americans were harassing the creators, so yeah, i miss it too😭😭

@@crepejello... u do know that there are different time zones right?
@jordan-my2vl yes? im talking about how most Americans wouldve been asleep during the ban... you understand THAT right? mb i didnt clarity enough though
It's crazy to me that the government was trying to blame social media at all for this change in public attitudes to war, instead of accepting it as a change in attitudes due to the education we were given. At least here in the UK (not sure how different it is in America) but most of our history lessons were centred around some form of war/ or conflict. It was learning about peacemakers and pacifists during those lessons, and ya know the millions of innocent people who were murdered due to the power and greed of rich elites that formed my anti-war stance, seeing the fallout of the Palestine genoc*de only solidified it. The holocaust is something that was drilled into our memories, there was usually at least a module a semester covering it, they really think after hearing about all the pain the last war caused for our formative years would make any of us want to go and fight again? No. Nobody wants to go to war, and its crazy they think people wouldn't care that it's happening again.
Edit: I'll also add, maybe controversially that I never saw any of the soldiers fighting as heroes either, they were victims too. I know America has a real "soldiers are heroes" complex, that the UK has to an extent too - but I've always hated that. People have either been killed or killed others in senseless conflict, there's nothing herotic about it. They're murders, or victims, if not both.
I just wanted to rant about this, because this whole ban being pinned on tiktok - as if it's not a literal shift in generational perspectives is ridiculous.
Also from the UK and I'd like to add that a case study in geography covered how Shell absoloutely fucked over the Niger Delta area and I honestly doubt America would teach the same thing
Not to mention instagram auto following trump, vance, and melania 😭 Im just so over this country- I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again this is a hypocrisy not a democracy
i used to use tik tok to have conversations about politics with like minded people and get unbiased news but ever since i saw that “thanks trump” ass message when they came back online i knew id never log in again and deleted my account 😭 it’s now super censored and idk how anybody ever uses it everyday anymore
i gotta say, the overconsumption really gets me. i mean, i could prooooobably even understand that someone who does makeup for a living has an unreasonable amount of cosmetics, but then picturing it as a dream and thus normalising having HALF OF SEPHORA'S MONTHLY SUPPLY in your drawer?? and we have all the ppl in the comments saying stuff like "omg im jealus" or "damn, that amount of blushes is my dream", and no one wants to acknowledge that it's neither normal nor healthy

The part with Rednote at the end was super sweet and this video was incredibly well researched! Love your work Nikki it made me not wanna lose hope in humanity after all
I work in the AI field and trust me when I say that all the companies that are coming up with AI machines for various purposes has data 99% taken from customers who have no idea.
Telemarketing calls, emails, a lot of stuff with sensitive information is used to train the machine, and here’s the shocker, almost all these companies HQ is in Tel Aviv.
So technically, Israel has the US government by the hair, and it explains why US keeps backing them up, cause one wrong move and everything will be out there.
Trump being the equivalent to Jeffree Star is too real
I have no clue how this part of the video (17:50) got messed up… maybe the creature hacked it themself. Here’s the unlisted version so you can see it the way we actually intended-no paranormal feline interference lol: ruclips.net/video/QdEKE_MX-eE/видео.html

Trump was the dude who wanted to ban TikTok in the first place.
It was a supreme court decision and 6 out of 9 justices are republican like ???
I actually have an example for the misinformation part. So in November 2024 Romania had the president elections and here there are political parties candidates and independent candidates. Before the election, like 2-3 weeks before, there was one independent candidate that would pop up on my for you page all the time, Calin Georgescu. No other type of propaganda, only tik tok, and guess what, he WON the first election.
It was actually such a big scandal here in Romania that the first round of elections was cancelled, he is truly an awful guy.
sooooo you're telling me that I was fkn right about meta AI and not allowing it to activate in my phone, while all my friends called me paranoid for not enabling it
This was such a great video. As a French viewer I didn’t really knew what was happening and it’s actually even more terrifying than I thought😬
I think "diners, drive-ins, and DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!" with a clip of some military guy in a helicoptor yelling behind it would have been a great line
I'm only 25 min in and I hope you cover the whole algorithm change since after the ban. My feed was so messed up because I didn't see anyone I followed until I blocked facebook and instagram. Now my feed is fine. HOW DOES THAT WORK I NEED TO KNOW I AM SO CONFUSED!!! I saw a video and I didn't think it would actually work, but now I'm seeing all my favorites again.
I feel horrible for the Uyghurs. It's just, horrible...
If there is one person I trust to consistently speak up about what is going on in the world, its you Nikki! Thank you so much for making these videos and always mentioning Palestine and how intertwined zionism is with current news issues! As silly as the tiktok ban is, it makes the world of difference for Palestinians trying to be heard all across the globe!! Again thank you and lots of love 🫶
I haven’t finished the video yet so if you mention this sorry, but I’ve been noticing how short they made the ban. If they made the ban longer, people would realize how much better their life is without it. They not only wanted to “ban” then “save” the app, they want to make sure the user base doesn’t leave when they do “save” it. I haven’t used the app since it was “banned” and my life is 100x better
Maybe it’s a good thing that something like this happened. People don’t pay attention to politics unless it affects them. With tik tok being taken away lots of people have realized that not being involved in politics or at least aware of them actively hurts you as a citizen.
1:10:48 loopholes that was already happening so whenever I comment on meta or x or yt or TikTok i intentionally misspell it as palstne
I'm suprised you didn't bring up Captain America during the propaganda segment. Yeah, us Marvel fans aren't too proud of those films😓
The Red Note stuff is so wholesome. When I was in junior high or high school I had a Chinese pen pal. They were nice and the paper they wrote on was so cool.
i panicked when u brought up the isi and pal situation cause i love your videos sm but thank god we stand on the same side 🥹

Hey, if anyone wants to really question wth the Us gov is doing, go ahead and look into what they have been doing in Australia, my own country. In my home territory, they took native land away to make a military (spy) base to get information on this side of the earth they can't reach from the us (aka china and every Asian/Oceania country). Not to mention how much of our land is a Us army/navy base... we see them almost everyday. Plz send help and take them home...

AHA Don’tttt think I didn’t notice you changing the title of the video lolol
You cooked with this one Nikki, great video. As an european I was only acutely aware of everything that was going on so this was not only educational in that field but the history segements, and ""fun facts"" abt USA government.... gyat damn. The short brainrot clips was just the icing on the cake.
The word propaganda always makes me think of someone saying it with an accent and going “take a propa ganda at me nutz!” Which the minecraft gov can do instead of taking proper ganders at miners
Like why do they get the diamond pickaxe and leave all us with wooden pickaxes when we are the ones doing all the work! Can’t keep working when my hunger and health bar are so low
Trump really pulled a “I’m gonna cause a problem then fix it to look cool”
I don't use tiktok. I genuinely thought everyone was just ridiculously beautiful and i was too ugly to touch the app 💀
Personally what kind of ticks me off is when people love to use the excuse but “TikTok is important for small creators and business owners “ like OK that’s not my problem go to a different app don’t put all your eggs in one basket
55:41 also the early avengers movies laid it on thickkkkkk
THE EDITING IS SO GOOD AAHHH!!!!
Nikki really captures my attention and makes it longer
one of my favorite things from this is how the us is like "noooo we can't have them steal your data, that's our jobbbb!"
You’re not gonna hear anyone disagreeing with you because anything that can be construed as anti China rhetoric is suppressed across the board. Maybe that’s one of the reasons TikTok is banned in China. I’m tryna understand but only finding like half the story because they do literally have a hold on our people. This has been transformed from a national security issue to a free speech issue. Who does that benefit and how did that happen? Ive questions galore 😕 😖
Nikki! Thank you for making this video! It is so important, and made me realize how much I don't actually know about the situation. We need this information out and accessible. You're an amazing youtuber, and made this all digestible.
The crazy thing is that “bird test” is based on a real psychological study BUT they didn’t just test the subjects once, they monitored them for like an entire day and counted how many times their partner validated them in small ways, then followed up with those couples later to see if they were still together. So yeah, asking your partner ONE TIME isn’t a good indicator. It’s more like if you’re dating someone who consistently doesn’t take an interest in the things you say.
i deleted Tik tok 2 years ago and it was such a good decision. i’ve noticed people who doom scroll always end up thinking in similar ways and it’s usually misinformation or someone making them buy something. it’s kinda scary
A late night Nikki upload???? Hell yes.
My insomnia thanks you 🫡💜
