It seemed unusually addictive with a lot of stupid games that were nonetheless oddly captivating. Reminded me a lot of addictive (to kids) shit YouTube content. Roblox also had poor parental controls.
Anything that serves up dumb or toxic content that is extremely “engaging” gets banned. YouTube was the worst by far but TikTok and Roblox also meet this criteria.
I forgot to mention Instagram. Kids haven’t seen it but it’s been preemptively banned because it’s full of toxic influencers and other trash. Could say the same about Facebook but kids have zero interest in that so no need to bother. Facebook is where older people go to get their brains sucked out by conspiritainment and political echo chamber groups.
