Yes, its because of that trend, but it’s a nothing article just trying to make a nothingburger newsworthy. Likely a little bit of negative press for them courtesy of competitors too.

Maybe they’ll get AI to watch and obversely make the videos in a never ending spiralling loop.

I have a family member who complains their phone gets hot and is slow.

New phone that I just setup for them. Can’t convince 'em it’s from TikTok.

Which is hilarious considering their recruiters are still in my fucking inbox at least once a week on LinkedIn.

New people are cheaper than the people they picked up during the hiring frenzy at the height of the pandemic.
