    This reads like a paid ad (the irony!). I’m sure spending 70% of their free time on TikTok algos has some niche corner of the internet “Chinamaxxing”, and turning off the constant dopamine stream made people upset, but the reasoning in the article seems dodgey at best.

    I personally don’t see issues of authoritarianism and censorship and go “woawww, a society that has that baked in is so much better”

    Funny fucking hat though, I just might have to pick one up
