Karl Marx said: “Religion is the opiate of the masses.

For many years I said that “Television is the opiate of the masses.”

Now I think that TicTok and its ilk are the opiate of the masses. It is cheap and addictive and the user is never quite satisfied. Worry about it in the USA centers on it’s being Chinese owned. In my opinion that is hysteria promulgated by competitive social media companies because they can’t figure out how to compete.
