What I love about Tiktok is everyone remembers Vine, everyone remembers Vine failing, and nobody connects the dots between "failing under a free market" and "runaway success when bankrolled by the Communist Party of China."

It's great. Take a platform for children, shape the content to only represent what you can sell, and then use a black box algorithm to massively inflate stuff that enforces your values. Load it up with malware so you can track people who step out of line.
