TikTok has been surrounded by controversy for years now. Much of it comes from unhealthy, even toxic content that can negatively affect users. This is especially worrying for younger audiences since TikTok still lacks strong age restrictions.
Harmful and inappropriate trends have been on TikTok for a long time, not just recently. The problem is the platform can’t fully stop these bad videos from being made and spreading everywhere.
Beyond the content issues, some creators (TikTokers) are getting way too caught up in their own sense of power. Reviewers in particular have stirred up the community with their provocative statements.
Reviewers are supposed to share their honest opinions, whether praise or criticism. That’s totally fine and no one can stop that. But when some TikTokers use their words to spark drama and stir up the whole community, it’s hard for people to accept.
Not long ago, one male TikToker openly declared, “Determined to shut down every restaurant”. This kind of statement worries many about the fake power TikTokers hold, which can seriously hurt food businesses.
Earlier, creators like No Ono and The Bearded Girl grabbed attention for their unacceptable actions and words on TikTok. It’s true that TikTok has made many creators famous and turned them into influential KOLs.
Sadly, some TikTokers get way too carried away with this fake “power” and cause unfortunate drama. Even worse, this group is making the public view TikTok more negatively, a self-destructive move for both the platform and its creators.
