    These headlines are ass.

    It’s meant to evoke a sensationalist response in people who won’t bother clicking on these articles and only rely on metadata, comments and headlines.

    The “Libs of TikTok” account is doxxing… would’ve made it hell of a lot clearer but nah, the confusion is the point.

      It says Libs of TikTok, most people know what that is. I know sensationalism is a valid criticism sometimes, doesn’t meant it is anytime.

        I understand what you’re trying to say, but “most” people don’t actually have TikTok or Twitter or proper comprehension when it comes to stuff they’re not intimately familiar with.
