    For me, this is the real news:

    a shocking number of ads, rivaling network TV.

    Everyone being so shocked at Tiktok ads while they have been watching as many or even more ads via their daily TV sessions… for decades, and no one bats an eye at that?

      Wtf are you talking about? Arguably the rise of streaming and TV recording is purely due to the disgusting amounts of advertising on TV. Streamers start adding ads to their paid services and everyone goes “this is why we stopped watching live TV, are you stupid, Netflix?” Nobody bats an eye at TV ads? I literally haven’t watched live TV for over a decade. What planet have you been living on?

        I said that no one seems to be shocked by the amount of ads on tv, while they are so shocked by the same amount on tiktok. Which I think is rather peculiar (or hypocritical). If that was not clear, then please accept my apologies.
