If this was a cartoon, now would be the time it starts raining on you.

I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.
I'm the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,
I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.
So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.
And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I'm not impressed by what I've seen, at all.

Not a chance. It’s a very valuable CCP propaganda tool, they’re not going to just hand it over to the literal enemy.

Why do you think Kotick is "the enemy"? Kotick has already worked extensively with and supported the CCP through Blizzard. Pretty sure they're on good terms.

It might stop the heat though if he’s a US puppet to appease congress.

As long as he buys it and Biden bans it after.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Bobby Kotick is genuinely more evil than the current owners.

Good, run that into the ground too and be rid of it.
