Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Yep. Their ubiquitousness is always off-putting to me. There's always a gimmick. And the growth of this TikTok Shop's popularity is also concerning to me. There could be quite a bit of potential to induce a terrible cycle of addictive shopping fueled by a slurry of short-form videos.

I feel like the shopping fueled by videos is already a thing.
