I had a hunch TikTok users weren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but now I know for certain.
according to this from Pew Research, a third of adults in the US use TikTok (based on a poll they conducted, because TikTok doesn't release user numbers publicly, and I doubt people would trust them if they did)
if your reaction to this is "oh all 100+ million of those people are idiots"...I dunno, congrats on thinking you're smarter than most people. have a gold star. go brag about your IQ and cranium volume on Twitter or something. this is just a relentlessly lazy and stupid take.
(and for the record, I don't use TikTok, or RedNote, so this isn't me taking it personally)
