My mission is to spread awareness about the Dangers of the Internet. 💻 Discord Community! discord.gg/fxdu2jnUpg P.S. I’m not against having a discord. I just need to make sure we’re safe. 👌 Share this video with your friends on all platforms! Let's make the world a better place! 🌎
I cant believe im writing for the third time, but (and ik it sounds unbelievable bc i wrote two incidents already) my friends that attend another school than mine told me that someone tried the skullbreaker challenge on his friend. The kid ended up in a coma (dk how long) and the two kids got expelled
On the faking illness part: I developed tics from a rare side effect of my meds. My own doctor was hesitant to believe me and I had to see another psychiatrist + neurologist just for him to believe they were real due to the amount of kids faking them. They're fucking up my life and it's infuriating to see people make cutesy "tics."
People faked having autism, (I’m autistic btw) they made videos of stimming together (stimming is a minor movement we do to cope with noise usually). People don’t stim fr just to seem QuIrKy. It’s a natural response and those dumbos were making their bodies have seizures just to say they’re ‘stimming’ Also people don’t stim together that’s just weird.
THANK YOU for not calling minors "women." It makes it sound much less terrible. Referring to them as the children they are is so impactful in your video.
It’s funny, I always see grown women being referred to as “girls” and it always annoyed me. Then when it comes to serious topics, the actual girls are referred to as young women lol. It’s so backwards.
as a disabled person it genuinely stresses me out seeing tiktokers faking it. Thanks you for spreading awareness on it. Autism isn't quirky, it's ruining my life and people faking it makes it worse.
If a Tik Tok video appears on UA-cam meanwhile making my videos (Which I Still haven't created a youtube video before) I Will censored it, Tik Tok can scare me, But I'm not afraid of them, Tik Tok should be afraid of ME. In 2021 December 1st (My Birthday) It worked my propaganda rule: No Tik Tok day after NNN Because if someone uses on my birthday, I'll Ban them including their accounts with no mercy
@@banhammer3904 i meant, i face enough discrimination already. Fakers spreading false info and making it seem easy isn't okay. People don't have to take it seriously 100 percent, but it's getting out of hand.
Here's my experience: I used to be on TikTok before I quit it on the spot a year and a half ago. Not only it was addicting, but it was also terrible for my mental health as it made me mentally unstable. I was stressed as heck over all the content that has been thrown at me. And the addiction did not help with anything at all. There were communities I was interested in but I couldn't care anymore than I did at the start. The fun that I had was only temporary. It may be just me, but I am glad I made my decision to turn away from TikTok and never get back to it again.
The fake illnesses thing really just disgusts me. I grew up with Aspergers and Chemical Depression. The things it did to my mind and life are hard to explain, and seeing people fake stuff that goes past even the real disabilities is inexcusable. My heart goes out to any of the people who felt invalidated or taken advantage of by TikTok. I have never, and will never use that app simply because of its truly manipulative and destructive nature.
Its infuriating. I personally have Asperger's but its mostly helped with medication that you might've heard of before, Trileptal and Atarax. And I'm also in the same boat with your mentality about TikTok. I avoid that app like my life depends on it.
@@luviam0001 Its getting to the point of your life 100% depending on avoiding it, if you ask me. Got friends who have been trying to convince me even after we graduated HS last year, while I'm trying to tell them what they are losing being in there (Mental, attention span, "social likes" dependence, Extended violation of privacy, etc.). I've given up, I just tell them I'm not interested the same as they are.
A few days ago my husband started receiving "annoying TikTok notifications" and asked me how to remove this, he has 0 presence on social medias and has no interest in it, has never used TikTok, turned out the app was installed on his phone without his knowledge or consent, I had to completely remove it from his phone, it was weird
What’s the phone brand? Might wanna avoid that. Samsung for example also has an automatic installer for Facebook that can’t be uninstalled without breaking the system. With every system update, Facebook gets reinstalled.
@@ordinarypigeon6918 It could be a free phone given because you have health care or something. my mom got one of those and it had pre installed everything from tiktok to wish to cashapp.
People choosing to fake autism is just sickening. I'm actually on the spectrum (diagnosed when i was in elementary school) and seeing people faking autism is just honestly horrible and sad, especially as an autistic adult.
I haven’t finished the video yet so idk if he mentions these, but tourettes too - there was a reported increase after tiktok came out, from doctors in girls coming in claiming they had tourettes syndrome but it’s more common in males. I’ve also seen people fake multiple personality disorder. claiming their other personalities had gender problems and “switching” between 15 personalities in 1 second… it’s just gross
I don't know if I'm autistic or not but my family assumes me as an autistic and they never checked if I really have autism or not😒 I know I'm not autistic even if I was I'm able to heal that
The whole “biometric face scanning” thing is exactly why I’ve never played with or used any of the tiktok filters, people have always thought I was weird for that.
Does the TikTok app *scan your face* with the front-facing camera when you're just *scrolling?* (I'm hoping someone with high-level mobile app programming knowledge can confirm/deny _with proof._ )
My psychiatrist was fired from her practice because people complained that she didn't give them the diagnoses they wanted. These people were TikTok users that convinced themselves they had all these symptoms, and they reported her when she wouldn't give in and instead looked at the facts. Enough people did this, that she lost her job... like wtf.
This is so horrible. I’m so sorry this happened to her. They should be ashamed of themselves for getting her fired from her job and career that she put YEARS into. I hope she is okay.
And it’s not a “POV you drink water then find out that you’re actually the lost pirate princess (do they even know how pirates work!?) and are sick and have magical fire water powers and are the alpha werewolf and was poisoned and are a magical fairy and are a god of everything and are perfect and are the misunderstood mean girl.”
as an autistic person aba is not good therapy. i was forced into it and they forced me to mask my autism for the comfort of other people instead of giving me resources to actually help me cope with the symptoms of my disability. they just wanted to help the people around me instead of me
thank you for saying this. i was thinking the exact same thing when OP went over it .. made me raise my eyebrows especially with how he noted his heartbreak at the “family struggling”
I too am an autistic person. When I was a child, I really got deeper with watching from Disney movies repetitively, I got so aware of love and pure kindness and wholesome friendships. I was so dedicated to make friends and I've been rejected a lot. It's true that I was in a mindset of a similar of a Price with a Princess, both misguided, as I observed. It's true that the people from Disney movies are willingly accepting. I will consider Prince Hans from Frozen as one thing true compared to reality. I understand that "It's just one person" thing, but it provides Hans as the prime example. Being rejected a lot had made me want to give up on humanity in person, which makes me lose focus on what I want and need to do. I really observed that the entertainment the children had watched has caused them to be misguided. I realize that both too much lightness and too much darkness are bad for those children. Watching Samurai Jack, Episode LII makes me see that children are mentally coded to choose their own destined purpose based on what they see or hear. Anything whimsical can affect what they're destined for.
The whole p3do issue is not only on tiktok, but everywhere. I've had creeps in the past asking to see my face, trying to do 18+ roleplay, or make inappropriate comments on me The fact some of them don't even see anything wrong with what their doing is insane. I still can't believe the 2nd guy really got angry after someone called him out
Something as innocent as Sky: Children of Light, a sweet adventure game where the whole premise is being a child making friends to solve puzzle and overcome challenges. And yet 20-40 year old fkin men think it's okay to make friends with little kids to try and date them. There's no escaping the creeps, dude.
I have been diagnosed with autism and me and my family have struggled a lot because of it. The fact that someone is faking it for money and views is absolutely disgusting.
i am sorry that you have that diagnosis. it must be extremely difficult. i dont have much knowledge of what autism is but i know is extremely hard and it costs alot. i hope you will become better overtime
As I stated in the live chat, I have a legit diagnosis of both ADHD _and_ Autism, so seeing people fake BOTH of them is INFURIATING. I will never download TikTok, and this video has reinforced that mindset.
While self diagnosis can be mostly valid if done correctly, we shouldn’t take every single one as objective truth. Tik Tok and Reddit are greatly cautionary tales on that. Autism is becoming a joke in many ways and communities have become hostile even towards the actually autistic. Nowhere else have I been called a neon@zo for saying I’ve been diagnosed with Asperger’s or bullied by the supposedly autistic for thinking of my condition as a disability.
The faking illness part really hit me hard. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 12. It’s not fun or quirky AT ALL, from my own experience at least. Society must be past the point of no return if they think that playing pretend with real mental problems for likes is considered “quirky”.
I got diagnosed with adhd when is was 9 and its irritating when is see People acting like its a quirky thing it isnt is taken adderol because i wanna pass school i dont like it but i need it
I have been diagnosed I think when I was 9 years old and I can fully agree. Sometimes I do joke about adhd but definitely it's not "quirky" to have it.. this shit is ruining my life. I can't focus at school so I take medication for it to calm me down.. the side effect of these pills is even worst.. when I see someone using it for views it just makes my blood boil..
i have developed it as a side effect of my medications for depression. i now take medication for adhd. people having the audacity to think its "quirky" or "cute" to have adhd are absolutely wrong. its absolute hell from my experience. i even see people faking depression and anxiety. i really wanna emphasize how ass it is to have those. nothing about this type of shit is fun or cute or quirky. people who fake these illnesses are either attention seeking or terribly desperate for clout or sympathy.
Same here, except also diagnosed with high functioning autism (not sure when diagnosed). These brain conditions are appropriated for meaningless internet points, which is absolutely asinine.
parents need to watch this, you cant expect 13 year olds that want to watch cat videos to understand how it affects them. yet from what I hear and see, no one seems to care. this is psychological warfare and manipulation on children. i love how free the internet is but seriously if you are unaware I can totally understand how you can get lost in bubbles and lose touch
Not even 13 year olds. In my experience, reaching back as far as when TikTok was Musically, it grips kids and becomes popular around fifth grade. Fifth grade! Those kids are 10-11 years old, and every single one of my siblings without fail have gotten obsessed with it at that age. My middle sibling who's now 14 is thanking us for restricting TikTok on her devices so she didn't get addicted to it. She hated me for it at the time, but these kids have no idea what effect it has on them. My youngest sibling who's almost 12 snuck on it, and now her and all her friends are suicidal and harming themselves. Kids of that age shouldn't even know what suicide and self harm are. I'm not saying there aren't other underlying things going on with her, but TikTok is DEFINITELY a catalyst.
I personally really dislike TikTok, I only use it to advertise my art, and that's about it. I hate the idea of short quick videos that aren't anything but a way to lower society's attention span. People nowadays are much less interested in well produced long documentaries like this one and it's genuinely pretty sad, because these offer much more in-depth and reliable information than all of those misinformation spreading shorts we see all around UA-cam and TikTok.
Finally, after years of waiting. There’s someone who’s making as aware, someone who’s giving us a warning. Unlike others who only cares about people’s likes and comments. I’m happy you’re here to help.
I was diagnosed with chronic depression, adhd and OCD when I was 10, long before I’d joined social media. Watching people fake these horrible, debilitating things makes me genuinely so upset. It makes me feel unsafe and insecure- and for many like me people refuse to get help due to the rise of people who don’t take mental health seriously. Not only that, the people who fake these mental problems RARELY know the extent and misery that these illnesses bring. It is never something you want and never something anyone should fake. It actually makes me so sick
@@Nutella456 Congrats!! I’m glad you decided to get rid of the toxicity on Tiktok, especially since it’s so easy to get hooked into bad habits. I’m a year and a few months clean as well so I’m super happy for you!!
UA-cam isn't any better tbh. They definitely listen to you aswell! Where I used to work me and my work mate would talk about something and when we get home we get ads pop up or videos for that exact thing, neither of us ever searched it or anything
It is, I know that and I ignore it most of the time. It feels horrible to understand, realise and have it burned into your brain how bad everything is when you initially thought it was good.
I dont wanna sound like a parent but I feel kinda sad for the kids in the future Seriously because some kids are getting more stupider because of TikTok (not only tiktok other social media too but tiktok mostly)
Agreed. My mom still used this shitbrain app and she's annoying when I'm going to sleep and listening to Ultramic English learning destroyer songs aka Greek, arabic, Turkish she doesn't learn how to turn off your volume. Back then superlitmario users spaming, making cupcake trash remixies to ruining our favorites songs, making tinders and bashing opinions making grounded videos cuz they are go animators who issued me to quit UA-cam and fandom is everything in the type Not to banned only in usa but I need to SHUT DOWN to the other countries!
As someone who's never used the app and never wants to use it I was incredibly weired out when I went to change my 3 year old phone (Samsung Galaxy S10) with a newer model and saw that it came installed BY DEFAULT with no choice but to agree with it, the installer even said something like "essential third party apps" (essential? what?), I had to wait for it to install so I could uninstall it lol
They're doing it just for the money: companies make agreements for their app to be in a phone.Sometimes there's apps that can't even be uninstalled (netflix in my case).
(Bottom shows that it can be good too) Me and my one friend stand the ONLY PEOPLE in the grade to absolutely NOT use the app, Not even talk about it, and spread awareness about bank info, however, although I made the bank info part, I never realized the major danger it resides with/without, of course they would make fun of us for not having the app, making up bad things because "our parents do not let us use the app," or studying something that is just propaganda to not use the app, and in the early months of this year, I gave up; searching for more valid sources to make sure they dont do the dangerous challenges that lead someone to almost die, of course I would only warn and not pressure to stop since I feel like im in a losing battle, oh and the female ones... simply like the others, REVEAL THEIR MINOR FACES TO THE PUBLIC JUST FOR SOME STINKIN DANCE!!! these dances of minors doing so will just lead to disappearences! Do their parents know or care about this? Are they ignorant? But hey, its just a theory, an App Theory! And of course there is no bad without good and no light without darkness. TT can have some positive things as well
man it's like 2 am and I honestly thought that you said you changed your 3 year old childs phone and I was like what the fuck who gives their 3 year old a phone and then I re-read your comment lmao
The thing that annoys me the most is the fact I actually have Autism, diagnosed at 3 and it disgusts me when I see other people faking what I have. It makes it hard for people who actually have disorders to be believed when people fake it for "fun". It's also kinda easy to tell sometimes because a lot of the time the people that really have the disorders don't talk about it nearly as much as the people who fake it.
Tbh I’m glad i uninstalled that disturbing app. It makes you addicted to every second you scroll looking for something fun to watch. When I started getting in the dark side of it, i decided to uninstall it. It’s been two years ago now since i had it and I’m not regretting anything. (What I meant by “the dark side of tiktok” is exactly how it sounds. People telling step by step how to break into peoples houses and cars, weird and disturbing live streams, a guy eating organs to *be healthy*, and some other live stream with cracked and dirty dolls hanging from the ceiling. That was just the tip of the iceberg tho.)
the name alone of the skullbreaker challenge sickens me. it's horrific in its own right. like the goal is to crack the victim's head open, cause them to get serious brain or skull damage, make them bleed and laugh at them while they're on the floor in agony. my generation is going to be the last one if tiktok isn't shut down. i just have the feeling gen z isn't gonna make it.
we are. I'm currently recovering from Tik Tok. I've never tried any of these challenges because I have a slight bit of intelligence, but I've still used it. don't worry though, I can watch videos up to 40 minutes in length. and full movies.
The fact that we (and Tiktok) managed to make breaking each other's bones, overdosing medicines/drugs and passing out look like trends that you can't miss out on really speaks for itself.
@@southernbrain691 What the heck do you mean? How can being a feminine (I assume thats the word you wanted to say) stereotype make a trend where you have yourself kicked by two people into falling headfirst a useful thing?
The Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge is not dangerous if you do it for 15 minutes or under. IShowSpeed tried it and only got big lips for a few hours and everything was fine ever since. I tried the challenge too but only for 30 seconds (nothing happened so far but now I am confident with my thin crusty lips)
Thank you for shedding light on such a crucial topic. Your thorough research and insightful presentation illuminate the darker aspects of the platform that often go unnoticed. Your work plays a vital role in educating the public and sparking necessary conversations about our digital environment's realities. Keep up the fantastic work; your efforts are truly making a difference.
YESS! Remember when all the Russian, Ukrainian, and American influencers all were going on scripts with propaganda regarding gas prices?! This is all perfectly controlled! I am so happy you are spreading awareness on this! Thank you !
A point that was neglected was how convincing tiktok can be. When I was 14 TikTok convinced me I had a tic disorder. After doing some research I realised what was happening and got rid of tiktok. I'm fine now.
The internet is known to be famously terrible at medical diagnosis. Ive been to the doctor one too many times convinced I have terminal cancer just to find out its an ear infection or an effect of sleep deprivation. If you think something’s wrong with you, please just go see a doctor and dont listen to the internet. Its almost always wrong
something i always have thought about is the "faking disorders" its so messed up to see people make things up so people who actually have the disorder get hate for also being "fake". the most i hear chatter about is autism, tourrets, anxiety ect but the one i see the most but not as many people talk about the so overwhelming amout of "ADHD" creators (this also leans to the other disorders) who do these "day in the life" or "what its like" and stuff, most of it is pretty harmless but i get so annoyed when people do some sh!t that literally everyone does and calls it "adhd". my little brother suffers from adhd and is so annoying for both him and me to see these people go around saying things that have nothing to do which makes people believe that the disorder isnt even a big of a deal and start saying "oh, i must have depression, anxiety, adhd, add, autism, tourret syndrome" and when you ask them why they say "because of a video made by a 11 year old about "signs you might have depression, anxiety, adhd, add, autism, tourret syndrome." i had the first, it was "ask yourself if you could touch the roof"" no, that is not what it is about, people going around spreading false rumors about disorders is so bad. just because you listen to mitski doesnt mean you are depressed, if you shake your leg you dont have adhd, and so on. REAL people suffer REAL disorders and people want so many compliments just because they said they were diagnosed. its messed up...
my friend from elementary school had ADHD and he had to take pills or else hed go insane in class, he almost blinded (edit:me)once when he forgot his meds, so seeing poeple fake it is just disgusting
I'm a middle schooler with high functioning autism and I've noticed the kids constantly like to make jokes about people with autism and down syndrome and mock kids who have broken legs by calling them 'cripples' it really angers me since not only do these kids only know this stuff from TikTok but they've all developed ADD/ADHD from the 5 millisecond videos they're constantly viewing.
People ask me "oh why don't you watch tiktok? UA-cam shorts kid" This is part of the reason. Yes, I know that yt shorts do some of the same things, but tiktok is a different world.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm a late diagnosed autistic. It was so impactful in my life I started my own channel to share my story. These tik tokers faking disorders contributes to people like me not being believed 🥺
I am thinking of making a channel too, not about Autism only, but about Gaming. And i want to talk while playing about autism and stuff so the awareness spreads more to others. But it is super hard for me to start something new, so i have deep respect that you doing a channel. I have subscribed to your channel and i hope i can learn more about Autism and eventually get the motivation to start my own thing someday ^^
@@fridolinati4194 hey thank you for subscribing! Honestly it took me a year of thinking about it before I jumped in. If you want to do this I say go for it!
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future
I have another reason to hate TikTok. I never liked it and I knew it’s been dangerous ever since the deadly challenges. My dad admits he was addicted to the content on there but after he broke his phone he realized what TikTok was doing to him.Thanks so much for more information!
@@memegame3834 I was never mad at my dad. I just knew he was less communicative with me and my mom, my mom and I just wanted him to put the phone down. Thankfully God broke it. I hope your mother realizes soon!
My mom told me half of the stuff we see on the American side of TikTok is censored in China. Chinese TikTok, they have informal and educational videos. That really says a lot.
I saw my Chinese friend browsing through TikTok during a school trip. You are absolutely correct. They were educational videos, wholesome ones, and ones with cute animals.
I didn't know that but it makes sense. Tik tok probably has a separate algorithm just for US users that is meant to poison the minds of the younger generation and not have anything educational at all. 😠
As someone who is from India.. I want to say some things regarding the same. As someone who is observing this situation from outside the purview of the ones in the system... I was horrified by the degeneracy of humans on TikTok. Am trying to overcome my shorts addiction too. Though it's not worse.. As I am more of a geek who reads online novels so yeah....
I downloaded tiktok a while ago and I also got into shorts instead. I don’t want to delete youtube because there are useful videos on here to learn. I’m avoiding shorts as much as I can.
Same, it feels wild seeing eveything happening from an outsiders point of view. I am just really glad young me decided on webnovels and manga for a hyperfixation.
I’ve literally had all forms of Tourette’s syndrome since I was a small child so the fact that people are pretending to have it and glorifying it makes my blood boil. No one other than those who actually have it will ever understand the pain and suffering we go through every single day when we can’t stop moving, and in my case, exhaling every five seconds. Especially how embarrassing it is to tic in public. I would literally sell my soul to guarantee I no longer have Tourette’s syndrome. It’s awful.
As someone with tourette syndrome I find people faking it super fucked up. While yes we do not have tics all the time, and there is a wide spectrum of tics and how severe. I'm lucky that I have a mild case. I have seen severe cases and they can be truly life debilitating. DO NOT fake a disorder people. It's sad that we live in a world that that needs to be said.
I was kinda in the middle when the Indian Government banned TikTok. But now that I'm a bit older and more experienced, I think its the best decision ever. Thank you, Government
I can't believe that this channel doesn't have a million subscribers, I was watching this and wondered how many subs you have, to discover that you have 35k subs? This is the most underrated UA-cam channel ever watched. Please keep making these well edited and informative videos
I was diagnosed with tourette syndrome at 12, and my tics have only gotten worse with age. Fortunately, my few verbal tics are barely noticeable to others and my physical tics are the ones that are the worst for me. It's incredibly painful, especially when I get stressed and anxious and tics get worse. It's why I don't use facecam, because being on camera if I'm not doing something that actively distracts my brain such as singing, makes my tics worse. It's really awful that there are people out there who try to pretend they have TS, because any of us with TS will tell you how much it actually sucks. There's a lot of things that happen as a result of our disorder that we do cherish, such as a lot of us having more creativity or really passionate hobbies, because we need to keep our brain occupied, that we're glad we have, but if we could calm down or stop our tics, we'd probably stop them because it's just not easy to live with. I understand people wanting the clout, but pretending to have TS is not the way to get it. It's not even about spreading awareness. It's about exploitation.
TikTok spying on it’s users is the most terrifying thing for me. I’m still shocked that my friends and my own mother still use this app, despite me showing them the truth.
I mean it's not really suprising... google chrome can enable your microphone to collect data to show you pesonalized ads, you consent to this when you accept cookies although it can be turned off in the settings. Also Tiktok is a Chinese company so i wouldn't be suprised if the Chinese goverment wanted them to collect data on it's users for... questionable reasons
It's honestly disgusting how there are so many preds on TikTok. But what infuriates me more, are the trends around faked illnesses. My having ASD, put me in so many averse situations growing up, that have left me traumatized; forever insecure about finding friends, getting into relationships, trusting authority figures! I can't talk to a girl I like, without internally shrinking into my soul. I can't keep a solid friend group, cause I'm almost always an orbiter in conversations. I was nearly unable to acquire a basic, shitty job! ... But now, I guess neurotypicals can pretend to go through my struggles. The same neurotype of people who've made my life a _living Hell,_ wants to mock my condition and the conditions of others... And almost nothing is done about it.
These documentaries are always of the highest quality. I still don't understand how you don't have over 100k subs right now. I appreciate the work and research you put into these videos, so we can learn what is going on. Otherwise we would remain like sheep and we wouldn't be able to make good decisions based on our knowledge.
You have a new follower. This is what we need to see. The truth of what is going on in this sick world of today. Thank you for your content it's very interesting and one could learn from it to be careful what we do on internet. Be save and God bless you sir. 🙏
Honestly as someone who is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, I am quite disturbed and disappointed by people who fake their own illnesses just for clout and fame. I honestly wonder what is going on in these people’s heads. I’m a minor myself yes I get that, but it doesn’t mean doing all this will let me get away with any actions that are bad and worse.
It's funny because being ill, mentally or physically, in real life doesn't make people any nicer to you. In fact I venture to say people treat you worse. I find it fascinating the dichotomy there. Irl illness makes you a pariah a lot of the time. People don't like you. You're boring. Online illness makes you exotic and con and interesting and everyone wants to protect you. Maybe these are people who have the actual illness who have been ignored, not believed, told they're faking, and ostracized realized online they could get the support the lacked irl. So they exaggerated their symptoms or even fabricated them so they could feel seen, heard and cared for in ways they don't get irl. I strongly believe that the lack of care irl drives these young people to do whatever they can for attention. It's been happening as long as neglectful/abusive parents have existed. These 2 things are related. Society outcasts people who are different. So if you don't have support at home or with peers one might be driven to find sorry, validation, relationships in whatever way they can. Before TikTok it was other things. Other social medias. Other irl actions that got them noticed. That's what young people do. They're developing mentally still. They can't comprehend the consequences of their actions because their brains prefrontal cortex is still tiny. It's not done cooking until their mid 20s. I don't condone faking illness. That's not ok. With that said, teens do dumb stuff. That's just the gig for them. I'm not into TikTok. I'm not young. I was young before TikTok existed. Myspace and AOL was my online experience. Livejournal. Whoa forgot about that one damn. Anyway it was never fashionable to mentally or physically ill when I was young. I got bullied for being ill. Online and IRL. Mostly by kids from irl finding me online to harass me endlessly. So I'm totally against the entire thing. But even then kids faked illness irl. I knew multiple boys and girls that faked illness. It was funny to them. They couldn't possibly have understood how awful what they were doing was . Because kids are dumb af
Agreed.

The people who say they supposedly have ADHD and autism are always the same type of people who use it to be quirky. This is coming from a psychology major and understand my own symptoms. These people make me so mad, with thier silly terms like "a touch of the tism" or "is he acoustic?". This is why I'm deleting tiktok.
@@localDaydreamer_Honestly saying "a touch of the tism" really makes people seem like they don't understand what it actually is. You can't have a little of it, you either are it or you aren't.
I had TikTok for awhile and it took me forever to realise how much it was destorying my brain, absolutely slaughting my attention span and wasting way to much of my time. I'm so glad I removed the app completely, I've never used a social media that has been that toxic to me in my life.
I remember when I was in school, and TikTok was relatively new. My classmates would not stop making TikToks of dumb dances IN CLASS and during lunch. They would try the renegade and shit like that, and here I am rolling my eyes at them. Like, you couldn't wait until after school to do your dumbass dance? I hate TikTok with a passion. I never knew why it was so popular. Same with SnapChat. Just send a photo that you see and it disappears after you open it. The stupidest concept in my opinion. The 'challenges' I see are also really dumb and dangerous. Stealing things from the school bathrooms? Taking a g*n to school? faking diseases for clout and attention? They seem like they have no life to me. Here I am, off most social media (Rarely I post on Insta anymore- I don't get any attention for what I post anyways) with a job and earning money. I could care less about making videos for attention from random idiots on the internet.
fr, i never understood why everybody uses snap and tiktok. I dont use them and am sort of isolated from a lot of the school due to that. Also nobody seems to understand that having their information given to the CCP is not good.
My classmates don't use tiktok...but they use LIKEE! I do have tiktok but i dont make videos on it, i just use it for entertainment and finding some good songs
One day at school, one of the girls in my friends class did the blackout challenge on him and he passed out. But he didn't wake up for 3 or 4 minutes . Finally he woke up and was fine but they went to the doctor about it and appearantly the doctor said that if he had been unconscious for another minute he could have died. The girl didn't even get punished.
Respect for sharing your personal experience with tics. You are a good person and I can see the empathy in your videos. Keep up the excellent work. Let's build a better future.
As someone with autism, people faking these neurological conditions makes my blood BOIL. Autism isn't all sunshine and rainbows, people faking autism and presenting it with a fake faćade genuinely ticks me off.
I have ADHD, Anxiety, Paranoia, Asperger Syndrome, and clinical depression. I'm always baffled at why people fake these mental disorders. There's literally nothing fun about having them, and there are no advantages to having them either. The fact that people have been, and are faking these for clicks is one of the most confusing things I've ever seen.
People who fake these mental illnesses are attempting to take advantage of the sympathy of others; so essentially, they want attention. As someone who's been officially diagnosed with 4 mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD) and might have more- which I'm looking to get tested for- it's REALLY frustrating to see this shįt. It's not fvcking fun to live with them, and it's definitely not an 'aesthetic' thing. If I could give my mental illnesses to the fakers, I would. If they want it so badly, then they can have it.
hi another autistic person here but please don't use the term "aspergers" and instead use ASD (autism spectrum disorder)!! aspergers is actually named after a n*zi
I think its the attention that comes with having those disorders/illnesses. Some people just want pity points and decide the best way to go about that is to fake very real problems. Awful people.
Ya know, i kinda was curious why your videos had a lot of small jump cuts that arent very noticeable. Now I know. Lots of love and positivity to you, man. Its gotta be rough living with it.
tiktok is most definitely listening. i was watching a show and i commented on the art style of the intro. i didnt look anything up and i got a tiktok video talking about the art work and its origins. creepy
Whenever I feel like downloading TikTok to get more into contact with my friends, I simply just watch this video and all of a sudden, that urge is no more.
It’s a formula. I Huss TikTok and if you don’t interact with stuff like this, you don’t get it. I just have memes and shit on my fyp cuz that’s what I interact with
As someone who has ADHD... I just feel generally offended by these kids... these people faking ADHD and other serious mental illnesses. ADHD isn't something you should fake because it's real and people suffer from it. It's disrespectful and disgusting. Shame on people who fake it for clout and followers.
I want to lighten the mood- you have ADHD too?? What are your interests? I have a rock/mineral/gemstone collection! Edit: Yes, I do in fact have ADHD. The most annoying part about having it is that I forget so many important things- and I can’t even pay attention sometimes.
6:11 This part made me realize how quickly my priorities change whenever another person comes into the situation. I'm drawing while watching this video so I'm not looking at the screen all the time, just listening to it, and when I heard the notification sound I literally jumped up to check what the notification was even though I was mid-drawing. I feel like I really should stop dropping whatever I'm doing just because I hear a notification, though it's hard to stop prioritizing others instead of myself (especially my health or well-being)
imagine being a kid and seeing the sk*ll breaker challenge and accidently injuring your friend like that. the amout of trauma these kids must get. I imediatly deleted that creepy app as I am a child as well and got genuinely scared for my privacy and safety.😖😨
I'm autistic myself and seeing people fake disorders/disabilities is truly beyond disgusting to me. I have a sister in law who possibly has ADHD, and sadly she's very into tik-tok (she's a minor) and especially ADHD tik tok...and I'm definitely going to warn her to be careful from taking advice on there, because people can and do fake the disorder, and TikTok isn't fully reliable when it comes to finding information about ADHD; or that isn't where she should be researching info on it anyways. Thanks for bringing light to this. I'd like to think people will grow up and stop faking conditions but...I doubt it.
As someone who has autism I find it disgusting to fake a disability I did not ask to have autism or ADHD or asthma I wanted to join the usmc but I remember when a recruiter came to my school and told me “ it is impossible for you to join the marines sorry”
@@Community_AntiTikTok In some ways, Tik Tok shapes the community itself by the way it’s designed and the guidelines it upholds (or rather chooses not to uphold)
You’ve got one side of content on tiktok which is funny, friendly, and just overall great! Then the other side of content on the app is gross, makes you feel unsafe, and is just straight up messed up… And a majority of people on the app are just idiots, they do dumb challenges that can result in death or you getting hurt badly. The app is also toxic as hell
yea. , i uninstalled it a few months ago because of a troll video , where it goes "no sound" and a few seconds it throws a sound of a girl enjoying something (you know....) , uninstalled it, and that video probably saved me from getting bad grades
Thank you for making this. I'm a middle schooler with high functioning autism and these 3 years have been made a lot harder because of this stupid app. It's made all of the kids at my school into vain and horrible people. I hope with people like you making these type of videos TikTok can be banned one day.
I hate to tell you this, but banning TikTok will do nothing to improve society. The whole thing about this is a geopolitical spat between the US and China, and both of them don't care about civilians.

Love your documents! 😄❤️ (I don’t know anyone else but him so don’t come at me 😅)
I am really glad you're talking about the predators. I was watching Nick Crowley's video on the predators on that app (really glad you mentioned him) I would definitely recommend covering them because they're really creepy. The guy who I found very creepy was this man ua-cam.com/video/STCeATYeRus/v-deo.html As someone who was groomed and put in a bad situation, every time I see people cover them, I feel just a little better that they're getting exposed Alright. As an autistic person, that person at the start just really made me upset. Who the heck would fake an illness?! I suffer from horrible anxiety and it's just so awful
As someone ADHD depression anxiety and depersonalisation-derealization, yep....ALLLL OF THOSE DISORDERS ARE BEING ROMANTICISED AND THE MISINFORMATION IS UNREAL
@@businessisboomin7252 I recall as someone who has friends with OCD and others with mild depression, I know how to recognize someone with a disorder. The only disorder you have is probably autism for being convinced of something so easily
I avoid social media in general, but this is on another level. I knew the CCP had their fingers in the game, spying and influencing the users, but this is worse than anything I already knew or wanted to know. Now I fear that eventually, I will somehow land in the app without me actually wanting to be on it. It should be banned everywhere. It is a too great risk for the safety of people and countries to keep it around. What fear I feel.
ABA therapy is really controversial for us autistics. Most of us see it as harmful and damaging and have bad experiences. Just a lil thing I wanted to mention
I never got in to social media. I tought I missed out on a lot because of it. The tought of posting all of that information on my life online always was super scary to me. But over the last 4 years I thank God everyday from keeping this poison away from me. I may not have followers and know about trends that much but instead I have friends, family and all my mental shit (even though I'm genetically screwd on that one) is together and I'm enjoying life. When I hear how perfectly healthy people accumulate every mental disorder in the book just because they use social media I'm baffled. Anyway ty for reading my Ted talk
I am someone who has been diagnosed with autism, adhd, dyslexia, anxiaty and depression and i hate when peopl fake it. It jsut makes us who genuinly have it look bad :(
UA-cam understood the addictive effect of TikTok that it decided to put a TikTok experience in it by creating shorts. As you scroll through your recommendations you can find shorts sections per every 3-5 horizontal videos. They know that short and vertical videos are more addictive than long and horizontal videos, this is their way to react to the competition. Also Instagram now is more about reels (vertical and short videos) than aesthetic photographs and blogs, the algorithm doesn’t benefit photographers and bloggers anymore. Edit: @TundeFunny brought me here. Great collab.
This is soooo well done. I've had an icky feeling about TicToc and the stupid trends it brings for some time, good to konw that i wasn't completly wrong
I knew I was right in not downloading tik tok. I've always seen it as a bad place to create bad influencers. If it had gotten banned in the US that would've been the first thing I would have respected from him that year
I have tics too and I feel you!! When I’m recording a video for school I have to re start the recording and it’s very annoying, your content is amazing though!!!
so glad i never downloaded this app. then again social media makes me nervous because i think it's embarrassing to be on social media when you have no friends
I see this video is old but I just watched it, I've seen a few videos and until you mentioned you tics and editing it out, I saw the edits. I myself don't have Tourette Syndrome, so I can't say much about it, but it must be difficult and to you or your editor, you do amazing to hid it. I can say I feel the hurt by the fakeness as I had cancer as a toddler. A girl in my high school claimed she had cancer, but she refused to get chemo cause it would ruin her hair. I still don't know if she did or didn't but I brought up the struggles and she didn't seem to have. This was real life and not social media so sucks when it's done to your face.
As someone who has autism, and has known I, autistic since I was a young kid, it boils my blood that people would fake this, because I wish every day I wasn’t like this. I would never wish this on people because it truly can be crippling at times. Also, hearing you call the blackout “challenge” the “BO challenge” makes it sound like you don’t wear deodorant for like a month or something
this has gotten so serious to the point that our school had to put up a sign saying "Please do not attempt any challenges you find on tiktok" right at the gate of the school
I've hated tiktok ever since I heard of it, not once within the 4+ years of its existance have I considered using it. Thanks for strengthening my beliefs Visual Venture. 🙏🙏🙏

On the faking illness part: I developed tics from a rare side effect of my meds.

People faked having autism, (I’m autistic btw) they made videos of stimming together (stimming is a minor movement we do to cope with noise usually). People don’t stim fr just to seem QuIrKy. It’s a natural response and those dumbos were making their bodies have seizures just to say they’re ‘stimming’
Also people don’t stim together that’s just weird.

Here's my experience: I used to be on TikTok before I quit it on the spot a year and a half ago. Not only it was addicting, but it was also terrible for my mental health as it made me mentally unstable. I was stressed as heck over all the content that has been thrown at me. And the addiction did not help with anything at all. There were communities I was interested in but I couldn't care anymore than I did at the start. The fun that I had was only temporary. It may be just me, but I am glad I made my decision to turn away from TikTok and never get back to it again.
same i was so scared that i might get jumped by one simple small misinformation
They are gonna ban it anyway.
me too, its so nice being away from all the drama that comes with it
I uninstalled Tik Tok yesterday bc that app is WAAAY TOO TOXIC for me.

The fake illnesses thing really just disgusts me. I grew up with Aspergers and Chemical Depression. The things it did to my mind and life are hard to explain, and seeing people fake stuff that goes past even the real disabilities is inexcusable. My heart goes out to any of the people who felt invalidated or taken advantage of by TikTok. I have never, and will never use that app simply because of its truly manipulative and destructive nature.

I'm actually on the spectrum (diagnosed when i was in elementary school) and seeing people faking autism is just honestly horrible and sad, especially as an autistic adult.
I haven’t finished the video yet so idk if he mentions these, but tourettes too - there was a reported increase after tiktok came out, from doctors in girls coming in claiming they had tourettes syndrome but it’s more common in males.
I’ve also seen people fake multiple personality disorder. claiming their other personalities had gender problems and “switching” between 15 personalities in 1 second… it’s just gross
oh ok he mentions it lol
Yeah I'm autistic too, don't really care though, not my problem
I was diagnosed later in life and it makes those sharing their genuine experiences and forming a community seem fake. It’s infuriating

Exactly
This video can reveal and expose Tik Tok for good >:)
The whole “biometric face scanning” thing is exactly why I’ve never played with or used any of the tiktok filters, people have always thought I was weird for that.
My old classmates thought I was weird for speaking English on TikTok and not having TikTok. Now I uninstalled it.
And same
you are bro u need ur face to use the filters dumbass
Does the TikTok app *scan your face* with the front-facing camera when you're just *scrolling?*
(I'm hoping someone with high-level mobile app programming knowledge can confirm/deny _with proof._ )
To be fair it does sound very interesting, if only the users were able to access this data and results of profiling I would do it just for that.
My psychiatrist was fired from her practice because people complained that she didn't give them the diagnoses they wanted. These people were TikTok users that convinced themselves they had all these symptoms, and they reported her when she wouldn't give in and instead looked at the facts. Enough people did this, that she lost her job... like wtf.
This is so horrible. I’m so sorry this happened to her. They should be ashamed of themselves for getting her fired from her job and career that she put YEARS into. I hope she is okay.
That's is the dream and reality of the lefty
Can you source anything to confirm this?
That's called malingering
I tried googling this and all the stories i located were not this
Dude none of these social media platforms care about users. It brings out the evil and stupidity from people
Unfortunately, no Tik Tok user will ever watch this video, since it’s longer than 5 nanoseconds.

True.
I want tiktok to die off. People need to stop posting terrible stuff on it.

as an autistic person aba is not good therapy. i was forced into it and they forced me to mask my autism for the comfort of other people instead of giving me resources to actually help me cope with the symptoms of my disability. they just wanted to help the people around me instead of me
thank you for saying this. i was thinking the exact same thing when OP went over it .. made me raise my eyebrows especially with how he noted his heartbreak at the “family struggling”
So glad I found someone saying this
I am also autistic and that part of the video made me very uncomfortable. Thank you for speaking out, because I was too scared to.
I too am an autistic person. When I was a child, I really got deeper with watching from Disney movies repetitively, I got so aware of love and pure kindness and wholesome friendships. I was so dedicated to make friends and I've been rejected a lot. It's true that I was in a mindset of a similar of a Price with a Princess, both misguided, as I observed. It's true that the people from Disney movies are willingly accepting. I will consider Prince Hans from Frozen as one thing true compared to reality. I understand that "It's just one person" thing, but it provides Hans as the prime example. Being rejected a lot had made me want to give up on humanity in person, which makes me lose focus on what I want and need to do. I really observed that the entertainment the children had watched has caused them to be misguided. I realize that both too much lightness and too much darkness are bad for those children. Watching Samurai Jack, Episode LII makes me see that children are mentally coded to choose their own destined purpose based on what they see or hear. Anything whimsical can affect what they're destined for.
Sorry, but since when is it a disability?
The whole p3do issue is not only on tiktok, but everywhere. I've had creeps in the past asking to see my face, trying to do 18+ roleplay, or make inappropriate comments on me
The fact some of them don't even see anything wrong with what their doing is insane. I still can't believe the 2nd guy really got angry after someone called him out

Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. I do have some help with the videos :).
While self diagnosis can be mostly valid if done correctly, we shouldn’t take every single one as objective truth. Tik Tok and Reddit are greatly cautionary tales on that. Autism is becoming a joke in many ways and communities have become hostile even towards the actually autistic. Nowhere else have I been called a neon@zo for saying I’ve been diagnosed with Asperger’s or bullied by the supposedly autistic for thinking of my condition as a disability.
yes
I have adhd and autism too so yes true
The faking illness part really hit me hard. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 12. It’s not fun or quirky AT ALL, from my own experience at least. Society must be past the point of no return if they think that playing pretend with real mental problems for likes is considered “quirky”.
I got diagnosed with adhd when is was 9 and its irritating when is see People acting like its a quirky thing it isnt is taken adderol because i wanna pass school i dont like it but i need it
Yeah like i have autism and it sucks people fake it, also autism cause no problem (i guess) but people think it causes problem
I have been diagnosed I think when I was 9 years old and I can fully agree. Sometimes I do joke about adhd but definitely it's not "quirky" to have it.. this shit is ruining my life. I can't focus at school so I take medication for it to calm me down.. the side effect of these pills is even worst.. when I see someone using it for views it just makes my blood boil..
i have developed it as a side effect of my medications for depression. i now take medication for adhd. people having the audacity to think its "quirky" or "cute" to have adhd are absolutely wrong. its absolute hell from my experience. i even see people faking depression and anxiety. i really wanna emphasize how ass it is to have those. nothing about this type of shit is fun or cute or quirky. people who fake these illnesses are either attention seeking or terribly desperate for clout or sympathy.
Same here, except also diagnosed with high functioning autism (not sure when diagnosed). These brain conditions are appropriated for meaningless internet points, which is absolutely asinine.
parents need to watch this, you cant expect 13 year olds that want to watch cat videos to understand how it affects them. yet from what I hear and see, no one seems to care. this is psychological warfare and manipulation on children. i love how free the internet is but seriously if you are unaware I can totally understand how you can get lost in bubbles and lose touch
I agree all my classmates watches tiktok and it’s just so addictive and problematic I just don’t get why people don’t see it
Parents ABSOLUTELY need to watch this
Not even 13 year olds. In my experience, reaching back as far as when TikTok was Musically, it grips kids and becomes popular around fifth grade. Fifth grade! Those kids are 10-11 years old, and every single one of my siblings without fail have gotten obsessed with it at that age.
My middle sibling who's now 14 is thanking us for restricting TikTok on her devices so she didn't get addicted to it. She hated me for it at the time, but these kids have no idea what effect it has on them. My youngest sibling who's almost 12 snuck on it, and now her and all her friends are suicidal and harming themselves. Kids of that age shouldn't even know what suicide and self harm are. I'm not saying there aren't other underlying things going on with her, but TikTok is DEFINITELY a catalyst.

Tik Tok users are toxic, dangerous, narcissists, hypocrites and most of all: Pedophiles
I was diagnosed with chronic depression, adhd and OCD when I was 10, long before I’d joined social media. Watching people fake these horrible, debilitating things makes me genuinely so upset. It makes me feel unsafe and insecure- and for many like me people refuse to get help due to the rise of people who don’t take mental health seriously. Not only that, the people who fake these mental problems RARELY know the extent and misery that these illnesses bring. It is never something you want and never something anyone should fake. It actually makes me so sick

it's actually sad and disappointing how humanity is decaying especially with young kids when social media comes in.
It is, I know that and I ignore it most of the time. It feels horrible to understand, realise and have it burned into your brain how bad everything is when you initially thought it was good.
I dont wanna sound like a parent but I feel kinda sad for the kids in the future Seriously because some kids are getting more stupider because of TikTok
(not only tiktok other social media too but tiktok mostly)
@@mbpl2776 Right, stuff on tiktok are just immediately stupid somehow
Agreed. My mom still used this shitbrain app and she's annoying when I'm going to sleep and listening to Ultramic English learning destroyer songs aka Greek, arabic, Turkish she doesn't learn how to turn off your volume.
Back then superlitmario users spaming, making cupcake trash remixies to ruining our favorites songs, making tinders and bashing opinions making grounded videos cuz they are go animators who issued me to quit UA-cam and fandom is everything in the type
Not to banned only in usa but I need to SHUT DOWN to the other countries!
Thanks, red spy!
As someone who's never used the app and never wants to use it I was incredibly weired out when I went to change my 3 year old phone (Samsung Galaxy S10) with a newer model and saw that it came installed BY DEFAULT with no choice but to agree with it, the installer even said something like "essential third party apps" (essential? what?), I had to wait for it to install so I could uninstall it lol
They're doing it just for the money: companies make agreements for their app to be in a phone.Sometimes there's apps that can't even be uninstalled (netflix in my case).
(Bottom shows that it can be good too) Me and my one friend stand the ONLY PEOPLE in the grade to absolutely NOT use the app, Not even talk about it, and spread awareness about bank info, however, although I made the bank info part, I never realized the major danger it resides with/without, of course they would make fun of us for not having the app, making up bad things because "our parents do not let us use the app," or studying something that is just propaganda to not use the app, and in the early months of this year, I gave up; searching for more valid sources to make sure they dont do the dangerous challenges that lead someone to almost die, of course I would only warn and not pressure to stop since I feel like im in a losing battle, oh and the female ones... simply like the others, REVEAL THEIR MINOR FACES TO THE PUBLIC JUST FOR SOME STINKIN DANCE!!! these dances of minors doing so will just lead to disappearences! Do their parents know or care about this? Are they ignorant? But hey, its just a theory, an App Theory! And of course there is no bad without good and no light without darkness. TT can have some positive things as well
My longest comment
Yes
man it's like 2 am and I honestly thought that you said you changed your 3 year old childs phone and I was like what the fuck who gives their 3 year old a phone and then I re-read your comment lmao
The thing that annoys me the most is the fact I actually have Autism, diagnosed at 3 and it disgusts me when I see other people faking what I have. It makes it hard for people who actually have disorders to be believed when people fake it for "fun". It's also kinda easy to tell sometimes because a lot of the time the people that really have the disorders don't talk about it nearly as much as the people who fake it.
Tbh I’m glad i uninstalled that disturbing app. It makes you addicted to every second you scroll looking for something fun to watch. When I started getting in the dark side of it, i decided to uninstall it. It’s been two years ago now since i had it and I’m not regretting anything.
(What I meant by “the dark side of tiktok” is exactly how it sounds.
People telling step by step how to break into peoples houses and cars, weird and disturbing live streams, a guy eating organs to *be healthy*, and some other live stream with cracked and dirty dolls hanging from the ceiling. That was just the tip of the iceberg tho.)

@@zoeysaidthat Yeah, but it's still addicting
the name alone of the skullbreaker challenge sickens me. it's horrific in its own right.
like the goal is to crack the victim's head open, cause them to get serious brain or skull damage, make them bleed and laugh at them while they're on the floor in agony.
my generation is going to be the last one if tiktok isn't shut down. i just have the feeling gen z isn't gonna make it.
Only some of us will make it. Some of us are sensible.
I mean,the skullbreaker challenge could be useful if you were a feminime stereotype (implication)
we are. I'm currently recovering from Tik Tok. I've never tried any of these challenges because I have a slight bit of intelligence, but I've still used it. don't worry though, I can watch videos up to 40 minutes in length. and full movies.
The fact that we (and Tiktok) managed to make breaking each other's bones, overdosing medicines/drugs and passing out look like trends that you can't miss out on really speaks for itself.
@@southernbrain691 What the heck do you mean?
How can being a feminine (I assume thats the word you wanted to say) stereotype make a trend where you have yourself kicked by two people into falling headfirst a useful thing?
I miss good old times when challenges were stupid but fun and harmless. Today these "challenges" aren't even challenges anymore.
Tipod challange
Death challenge
The Benedryll challenge..
I dont see those challenges on my fyp i just see memes and stuff
The Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge is not dangerous if you do it for 15 minutes or under. IShowSpeed tried it and only got big lips for a few hours and everything was fine ever since. I tried the challenge too but only for 30 seconds (nothing happened so far but now I am confident with my thin crusty lips)
Thank you for shedding light on such a crucial topic. Your thorough research and insightful presentation illuminate the darker aspects of the platform that often go unnoticed.

Uhh.. What?
Huh!what???
You missed out Chinese propaganda and TikTok is a Chinese app.
ummm... lady what does mean?
A point that was neglected was how convincing tiktok can be. When I was 14 TikTok convinced me I had a tic disorder. After doing some research I realised what was happening and got rid of tiktok. I'm fine now.
I mean it IS called "Tik" Tok, I don't know what you were expecting.
Luckily I actually have tics so I can't believe those lies.
Fun fact: Tik Tok released on 2017 and It was the worst things that China has ever done
It REALLY isn't though. It's laughable you would even think tiktok is among the worst things china has done@@KingBowser77766
The internet is known to be famously terrible at medical diagnosis. Ive been to the doctor one too many times convinced I have terminal cancer just to find out its an ear infection or an effect of sleep deprivation. If you think something’s wrong with you, please just go see a doctor and dont listen to the internet. Its almost always wrong
something i always have thought about is the "faking disorders" its so messed up to see people make things up so people who actually have the disorder get hate for also being "fake". the most i hear chatter about is autism, tourrets, anxiety ect but the one i see the most but not as many people talk about the so overwhelming amout of "ADHD" creators (this also leans to the other disorders) who do these "day in the life" or "what its like" and stuff, most of it is pretty harmless but i get so annoyed when people do some sh!t that literally everyone does and calls it "adhd". my little brother suffers from adhd and is so annoying for both him and me to see these people go around saying things that have nothing to do which makes people believe that the disorder isnt even a big of a deal and start saying "oh, i must have depression, anxiety, adhd, add, autism, tourret syndrome" and when you ask them why they say "because of a video made by a 11 year old about "signs you might have depression, anxiety, adhd, add, autism, tourret syndrome." i had the first, it was "ask yourself if you could touch the roof"" no, that is not what it is about, people going around spreading false rumors about disorders is so bad. just because you listen to mitski doesnt mean you are depressed, if you shake your leg you dont have adhd, and so on. REAL people suffer REAL disorders and people want so many compliments just because they said they were diagnosed. its messed up...
As someone who has adhd, I am offended that people fake it
my friend from elementary school had ADHD and he had to take pills or else hed go insane in class, he almost blinded (edit:me)once when he forgot his meds, so seeing poeple fake it is just disgusting
I'm a middle schooler with high functioning autism and I've noticed the kids constantly like to make jokes about people with autism and down syndrome and mock kids who have broken legs by calling them 'cripples' it really angers me since not only do these kids only know this stuff from TikTok but they've all developed ADD/ADHD from the 5 millisecond videos they're constantly viewing.
I have adhd and boy if only they knew was it was to actually have it they wouldn’t seem so happy
People ask me "oh why don't you watch tiktok? UA-cam shorts kid" This is part of the reason. Yes, I know that yt shorts do some of the same things, but tiktok is a different world.
Thank you so much for posting these videos.
I'm a late diagnosed autistic. It was so impactful in my life I started my own channel to share my story. These tik tokers faking disorders contributes to people like me not being believed 🥺
Im so sorry thats happening :(
I am thinking of making a channel too, not about Autism only, but about Gaming. And i want to talk while playing about autism and stuff so the awareness spreads more to others.
But it is super hard for me to start something new, so i have deep respect that you doing a channel.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future
I have another reason to hate TikTok. I never liked it and I knew it’s been dangerous ever since the deadly challenges. My dad admits he was addicted to the content on there but after he broke his phone he realized what TikTok was doing to him.Thanks so much for more information!

@@cynical.m0th Hii! I love your pfp
My mom told me half of the stuff we see on the American side of TikTok is censored in China. Chinese TikTok, they have informal and educational videos. That really says a lot.
Do you mean informational?
@@isaacmayer-splain8974 no.
I saw my Chinese friend browsing through TikTok during a school trip. You are absolutely correct. They were educational videos, wholesome ones, and ones with cute animals.
I didn't know that but it makes sense. Tik tok probably has a separate algorithm just for US users that is meant to poison the minds of the younger generation and not have anything educational at all. 😠
@@thebookworm3930 This is why I deleted TikTok many things that show up on my fyp are negative.
I started to watch this Channel 3 hours ago and I love this channel already. You say some inspiring stuff kinda brings a tear to the eye
As someone who is from India.. I want to say some things regarding the same.
As someone who is observing this situation from outside the purview of the ones in the system... I was horrified by the degeneracy of humans on TikTok.
Am trying to overcome my shorts addiction too. Though it's not worse.. As I am more of a geek who reads online novels so yeah....
The reason why they were banned is because there are some rivalries between India and China
I downloaded tiktok a while ago and I also got into shorts instead. I don’t want to delete youtube because there are useful videos on here to learn. I’m avoiding shorts as much as I can.
india is a W for banning tiktok
Same, it feels wild seeing eveything happening from an outsiders point of view. I am just really glad young me decided on webnovels and manga for a hyperfixation.
@@majourvelencianna5810 same brother same.
I’ve literally had all forms of Tourette’s syndrome since I was a small child so the fact that people are pretending to have it and glorifying it makes my blood boil. No one other than those who actually have it will ever understand the pain and suffering we go through every single day when we can’t stop moving, and in my case, exhaling every five seconds. Especially how embarrassing it is to tic in public. I would literally sell my soul to guarantee I no longer have Tourette’s syndrome. It’s awful.
As someone with tourette syndrome I find people faking it super fucked up. While yes we do not have tics all the time, and there is a wide spectrum of tics and how severe. I'm lucky that I have a mild case. I have seen severe cases and they can be truly life debilitating. DO NOT fake a disorder people. It's sad that we live in a world that that needs to be said.
Society is sick. Social media made it worst.
No, people make social media worse.
I was kinda in the middle when the Indian Government banned TikTok. But now that I'm a bit older and more experienced, I think its the best decision ever. Thank you, Government

@@bigheadrat9493 Yes, it was Uncle Brandon to blame for all of this.

@@markarca6360 He’s actually now considering banning TikTok, although he has a different reason.
I can't believe that this channel doesn't have a million subscribers, I was watching this and wondered how many subs you have, to discover that you have 35k subs? This is the most underrated UA-cam channel ever watched. Please keep making these well edited and informative videos
Thank you a ton my friend. Really appreciate that!
I was diagnosed with tourette syndrome at 12, and my tics have only gotten worse with age. Fortunately, my few verbal tics are barely noticeable to others and my physical tics are the ones that are the worst for me. It's incredibly painful, especially when I get stressed and anxious and tics get worse. It's why I don't use facecam, because being on camera if I'm not doing something that actively distracts my brain such as singing, makes my tics worse. It's really awful that there are people out there who try to pretend they have TS, because any of us with TS will tell you how much it actually sucks. There's a lot of things that happen as a result of our disorder that we do cherish, such as a lot of us having more creativity or really passionate hobbies, because we need to keep our brain occupied, that we're glad we have, but if we could calm down or stop our tics, we'd probably stop them because it's just not easy to live with. I understand people wanting the clout, but pretending to have TS is not the way to get it. It's not even about spreading awareness. It's about exploitation.
TikTok spying on it’s users is the most terrifying thing for me. I’m still shocked that my friends and my own mother still use this app, despite me showing them the truth.
Well from what i've heard its addicting so once you use it, You cant stop.
I mean it's not really suprising... google chrome can enable your microphone to collect data to show you pesonalized ads, you consent to this when you accept cookies although it can be turned off in the settings. Also Tiktok is a Chinese company so i wouldn't be suprised if the Chinese goverment wanted them to collect data on it's users for... questionable reasons
I see
Fr imagine being in the bathroom and TikTok sees you 😭😭
im just curios about what theyre going to do with all this info what the end result for all this is and what else they could be hiding
It's honestly disgusting how there are so many preds on TikTok. But what infuriates me more, are the trends around faked illnesses. My having ASD, put me in so many averse situations growing up, that have left me traumatized; forever insecure about finding friends, getting into relationships, trusting authority figures! I can't talk to a girl I like, without internally shrinking into my soul. I can't keep a solid friend group, cause I'm almost always an orbiter in conversations. I was nearly unable to acquire a basic, shitty job!
... But now, I guess neurotypicals can pretend to go through my struggles. The same neurotype of people who've made my life a _living Hell,_ wants to mock my condition and the conditions of others... And almost nothing is done about it.
I am dyslektic disgraphic and disortographic

Honestly as someone who is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, I am quite disturbed and disappointed by people who fake their own illnesses just for clout and fame. I honestly wonder what is going on in these people’s heads. I’m a minor myself yes I get that, but it doesn’t mean doing all this will let me get away with any actions that are bad and worse.
Same bro, im autistic adhd
It's funny because being ill, mentally or physically, in real life doesn't make people any nicer to you. In fact I venture to say people treat you worse. I find it fascinating the dichotomy there. Irl illness makes you a pariah a lot of the time. People don't like you. You're boring. Online illness makes you exotic and con and interesting and everyone wants to protect you. Maybe these are people who have the actual illness who have been ignored, not believed, told they're faking, and ostracized realized online they could get the support the lacked irl. So they exaggerated their symptoms or even fabricated them so they could feel seen, heard and cared for in ways they don't get irl.
I strongly believe that the lack of care irl drives these young people to do whatever they can for attention. It's been happening as long as neglectful/abusive parents have existed. These 2 things are related. Society outcasts people who are different. So if you don't have support at home or with peers one might be driven to find sorry, validation, relationships in whatever way they can. Before TikTok it was other things. Other social medias. Other irl actions that got them noticed. That's what young people do. They're developing mentally still. They can't comprehend the consequences of their actions because their brains prefrontal cortex is still tiny. It's not done cooking until their mid 20s.
I don't condone faking illness. That's not ok. With that said, teens do dumb stuff. That's just the gig for them. I'm not into TikTok. I'm not young. I was young before TikTok existed. Myspace and AOL was my online experience. Livejournal. Whoa forgot about that one damn. Anyway it was never fashionable to mentally or physically ill when I was young. I got bullied for being ill. Online and IRL. Mostly by kids from irl finding me online to harass me endlessly. So I'm totally against the entire thing. But even then kids faked illness irl. I knew multiple boys and girls that faked illness. It was funny to them. They couldn't possibly have understood how awful what they were doing was . Because kids are dumb af

The people who say they supposedly have ADHD and autism are always the same type of people who use it to be quirky. This is coming from a psychology major and understand my own symptoms. These people make me so mad, with thier silly terms like "a touch of the tism" or "is he acoustic?". This is why I'm deleting tiktok.
@@localDaydreamer_Honestly saying "a touch of the tism" really makes people seem like they don't understand what it actually is. You can't have a little of it, you either are it or you aren't.
I had TikTok for awhile and it took me forever to realise how much it was destorying my brain, absolutely slaughting my attention span and wasting way to much of my time. I'm so glad I removed the app completely, I've never used a social media that has been that toxic to me in my life.

I remember when I was in school, and TikTok was relatively new. My classmates would not stop making TikToks of dumb dances IN CLASS and during lunch. They would try the renegade and shit like that, and here I am rolling my eyes at them. Like, you couldn't wait until after school to do your dumbass dance?
I hate TikTok with a passion. I never knew why it was so popular. Same with SnapChat. Just send a photo that you see and it disappears after you open it. The stupidest concept in my opinion.
The 'challenges' I see are also really dumb and dangerous. Stealing things from the school bathrooms? Taking a g*n to school? faking diseases for clout and attention? They seem like they have no life to me.
Here I am, off most social media (Rarely I post on Insta anymore- I don't get any attention for what I post anyways) with a job and earning money. I could care less about making videos for attention from random idiots on the internet.

As someone with autism, people faking these neurological conditions makes my blood BOIL. Autism isn't all sunshine and rainbows, people faking autism and presenting it with a fake faćade genuinely ticks me off.
I have ADHD, Anxiety, Paranoia, Asperger Syndrome, and clinical depression. I'm always baffled at why people fake these mental disorders. There's literally nothing fun about having them, and there are no advantages to having them either. The fact that people have been, and are faking these for clicks is one of the most confusing things I've ever seen.
You can tell this dog's joking due to his name and pfp
People who fake these mental illnesses are attempting to take advantage of the sympathy of others; so essentially, they want attention. As someone who's been officially diagnosed with 4 mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD) and might have more- which I'm looking to get tested for- it's REALLY frustrating to see this shįt. It's not fvcking fun to live with them, and it's definitely not an 'aesthetic' thing. If I could give my mental illnesses to the fakers, I would. If they want it so badly, then they can have it.
hi another autistic person here but please don't use the term "aspergers" and instead use ASD (autism spectrum disorder)!! aspergers is actually named after a n*zi
@@idiotshinji Good to know, thanks.
I think its the attention that comes with having those disorders/illnesses. Some people just want pity points and decide the best way to go about that is to fake very real problems. Awful people.

Ever since this app came out, I haven’t been interacting very much with people because so many use the app. It’s insane.
I know, my good ol bff is using it and when we were going to the sea the first thing she did was create a tik tok
wait what i watch tt and i socialize every day with my frens
Ya know, i kinda was curious why your videos had a lot of small jump cuts that arent very noticeable. Now I know. Lots of love and positivity to you, man. Its gotta be rough living with it.
tiktok is most definitely listening. i was watching a show and i commented on the art style of the intro. i didnt look anything up and i got a tiktok video talking about the art work and its origins. creepy
literally every social media does this.
Whenever I feel like downloading TikTok to get more into contact with my friends, I simply just watch this video and all of a sudden, that urge is no more.
It’s a formula. I Huss TikTok and if you don’t interact with stuff like this, you don’t get it. I just have memes and shit on my fyp cuz that’s what I interact with
As someone who has ADHD... I just feel generally offended by these kids... these people faking ADHD and other serious mental illnesses. ADHD isn't something you should fake because it's real and people suffer from it. It's disrespectful and disgusting. Shame on people who fake it for clout and followers.
There’s also people who fake trauma, gross
Well it just doesn’t sit right with me that he called mental disability’s like autism illnesses which they aren’t
True dat
Yeah same. It makes my blood boil especially when someone is using it for views.. it's disgusting...
I want to lighten the mood- you have ADHD too?? What are your interests? I have a rock/mineral/gemstone collection!
Edit: Yes, I do in fact have ADHD. The most annoying part about having it is that I forget so many important things- and I can’t even pay attention sometimes.
6:11 This part made me realize how quickly my priorities change whenever another person comes into the situation. I'm drawing while watching this video so I'm not looking at the screen all the time, just listening to it, and when I heard the notification sound I literally jumped up to check what the notification was even though I was mid-drawing. I feel like I really should stop dropping whatever I'm doing just because I hear a notification, though it's hard to stop prioritizing others instead of myself (especially my health or well-being)
imagine being a kid and seeing the sk*ll breaker challenge and accidently injuring your friend like that. the amout of trauma these kids must get. I imediatly deleted that creepy app as I am a child as well and got genuinely scared for my privacy and safety.😖😨
Thank God you did, it might break that poor brain of yours so I hope you are healthy by now :))
I'm autistic myself and seeing people fake disorders/disabilities is truly beyond disgusting to me. I have a sister in law who possibly has ADHD, and sadly she's very into tik-tok (she's a minor) and especially ADHD tik tok...and I'm definitely going to warn her to be careful from taking advice on there, because people can and do fake the disorder, and TikTok isn't fully reliable when it comes to finding information about ADHD; or that isn't where she should be researching info on it anyways. Thanks for bringing light to this. I'd like to think people will grow up and stop faking conditions but...I doubt it.

I'm a middle schooler with high functioning autism and these 3 years have been made a lot harder because of this stupid app. It's made all of the kids at my school into vain and horrible people. I hope with people like you making these type of videos TikTok can be banned one day.
I hate to tell you this, but banning TikTok will do nothing to improve society. The whole thing about this is a geopolitical spat between the US and China, and both of them don't care about civilians.
Who acked
are you literate or do you need some help @@sepachortels6366

@@sepachortels6366what is acked? You mean asked?
I really like the vibe of your channel. I’m not really subscribed to any mainstream ones. But, from what I’ve seen so far, I like your content.
I have never been on TIKTOK. There is a lot of strange things out there. Don't let yourself get pulled into them and if you find you are being manipulated, get away from your trouble immediately. Ty X
This is without a doubt the most professional channel I'm subscribed to. The production value is insane. Haven't enjoyed content like yours in a very long time. Thank you!
YO THANK YOUUUU. Means more than you know 🙏🏽. We work on these videos non stop
I just came across your channel and I must say, I'm impressed. As a woman and mother, I highly appreciate your information. Thank you. Keep up the great work. We need more people speaking the truth. Bring back humanity!
Visual Venture, I love you documentary’s because of how you explain your statement well with showing where you get your knowledge, your way of explaining hooks me to want to see more, it makes me believe you. Basically what I’m saying is, the effort you put into explaining is amazing, me myself have not seen anyone else explain this well. Love your documents! 😄❤️ (I don’t know anyone else but him so don’t come at me 😅)
I am really glad you're talking about the predators. I was watching Nick Crowley's video on the predators on that app (really glad you mentioned him)
I would definitely recommend covering them because they're really creepy. The guy who I found very creepy was this man
ua-cam.com/video/STCeATYeRus/v-deo.html
As someone who was groomed and put in a bad situation, every time I see people cover them, I feel just a little better that they're getting exposed
Alright. As an autistic person, that person at the start just really made me upset.
Who the heck would fake an illness?! I suffer from horrible anxiety and it's just so awful
As someone ADHD depression anxiety and depersonalisation-derealization, yep....ALLLL OF THOSE DISORDERS ARE BEING ROMANTICISED AND THE MISINFORMATION IS UNREAL
@@businessisboomin7252 if you really had so much illnesses you wouldn't even be able to comment this without getting a stroke
@@businessisboomin7252 I recall as someone who has friends with OCD and others with mild depression, I know how to recognize someone with a disorder. The only disorder you have is probably autism for being convinced of something so easily
Not relevant but where did you get your pfp?
@@DakotaofRaptors I won an art raffle that CrazedCake hosted abd the prize was that I could get my OC drew by him!
I avoid social media in general, but this is on another level. I knew the CCP had their fingers in the game, spying and influencing the users, but this is worse than anything I already knew or wanted to know. Now I fear that eventually, I will somehow land in the app without me actually wanting to be on it. It should be banned everywhere. It is a too great risk for the safety of people and countries to keep it around. What fear I feel.
Same I hate tik tok because
ABA therapy is really controversial for us autistics. Most of us see it as harmful and damaging and have bad experiences. Just a lil thing I wanted to mention
It's very traumatizing. Basically torturing people to be "normal"
Yeah
I was going to comment this as well!! I agree 100% as someone who had to go through that "therapy" at a young age and now have trauma from it.
I am diagnosed with Autism and im disgusted by people who pretend to have it and to totaly over react it... im truly disgusted.
Fr
Same, but with my ADHD. It’s so f*cking frustrating and annoying seeing someone trying to make money outta faking your struggles
@@adarts2025 i also had ad- hd besisds my autism and i feel ya it is just.. frustraiting seeing people fake ilnesses
Literally learned ab this 3 years ago, this aint new lad, but its not dying
Another masterpiece to watch. Your voice fits the theme perfectly and the information is well researched and put together. Good job!
Yoo I appreciate you thank you for that 🙏🏽. I hated my voiceovers so that means a lot 😂
Absolute masterpiece 👏, happy to be a part
You’re the GOAT thanks for taking part 🙏🏽
I never got in to social media. I tought I missed out on a lot because of it. The tought of posting all of that information on my life online always was super scary to me. But over the last 4 years I thank God everyday from keeping this poison away from me. I may not have followers and know about trends that much but instead I have friends, family and all my mental shit (even though I'm genetically screwd on that one) is together and I'm enjoying life. When I hear how perfectly healthy people accumulate every mental disorder in the book just because they use social media I'm baffled.
Anyway ty for reading my Ted talk
I am someone who has been diagnosed with autism, adhd, dyslexia, anxiaty and depression and i hate when peopl fake it. It jsut makes us who genuinly have it look bad :(
I’ve never downloaded tiktok and I never will. This video looks great and im definitely gonna watch it when I get the chance👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Appreciate you as always!
UA-cam understood the addictive effect of TikTok that it decided to put a TikTok experience in it by creating shorts. As you scroll through your recommendations you can find shorts sections per every 3-5 horizontal videos.
They know that short and vertical videos are more addictive than long and horizontal videos, this is their way to react to the competition.
Also Instagram now is more about reels (vertical and short videos) than aesthetic photographs and blogs, the algorithm doesn’t benefit photographers and bloggers anymore.
Edit: @TundeFunny brought me here. Great collab.
Tunde’s the GOAT. Great guy. And yeah absolutely right
lesson of the day: don't give ur child unrestricted access to the internet till they are at least 14 or older
My parents who still check my internet history even tho I’m 15/turning 16 in a month:
I got unrestricted internet access when I turned 18
Does that matter? No they can still die from these challenges
@@Brett_Gamingg true that’s a point but maybe depending on the severity of legit doing these things. Gen Z deez days are embarrassing 🤦♂️
All media including UA-cam is turning into rotten flesh. It’s absolutely shameful.
This is soooo well done. I've had an icky feeling about TicToc and the stupid trends it brings for some time, good to konw that i wasn't completly wrong
29:30 tiktok is bad because your attention span goes bad so fast and you just sit there for hours, addiction is bad
Yt shorts?
@@Aidanrst UA-cam shorts are also bad but worse since you can’t disable it
@@Luigi_bros4321 I wish I could disable yt shorts tbh, I only watch yt for long form videos but I get distracted by shorts
I knew I was right in not downloading tik tok. I've always seen it as a bad place to create bad influencers. If it had gotten banned in the US that would've been the first thing I would have respected from him that year
I have tics too and I feel you!! When I’m recording a video for school I have to re start the recording and it’s very annoying, your content is amazing though!!!
so glad i never downloaded this app. then again social media makes me nervous because i think it's embarrassing to be on social media when you have no friends
Same here
I see this video is old but I just watched it, I've seen a few videos and until you mentioned you tics and editing it out, I saw the edits. I myself don't have Tourette Syndrome, so I can't say much about it, but it must be difficult and to you or your editor, you do amazing to hid it. I can say I feel the hurt by the fakeness as I had cancer as a toddler. A girl in my high school claimed she had cancer, but she refused to get chemo cause it would ruin her hair. I still don't know if she did or didn't but I brought up the struggles and she didn't seem to have. This was real life and not social media so sucks when it's done to your face.
As someone who has autism, and has known I, autistic since I was a young kid, it boils my blood that people would fake this, because I wish every day I wasn’t like this. I would never wish this on people because it truly can be crippling at times.
Also, hearing you call the blackout “challenge” the “BO challenge” makes it sound like you don’t wear deodorant for like a month or something
this has gotten so serious to the point that our school had to put up a sign saying "Please do not attempt any challenges you find on tiktok" right at the gate of the school
Damm
We should publicly shame that school for putting up that sign
@@rayganparksmitchell wtf?
@@rayganparksmitchell no
@@FortilhaServer Yes
I've hated tiktok ever since I heard of it, not once within the 4+ years of its existance have I considered using it. Thanks for strengthening my beliefs Visual Venture. 🙏🙏🙏
I pretty much hated it before it even existed
