tiktok!!
It’s not the first time there’s been widespread discussion about the potential ban of TikTok but Ben wants to walk us through what it look like if we were to wake up one day and no longer have it! This week on Drama Mama, Ben explains the TikTok privacy concerns, why the app was banned in India, and what banning the app in the US would mean for the Biden administration. Ben also breakdown why TikTok isn’t as lucrative or as fulfilling as other platforms from a content creator perspective and reveals that if TikTok did suddenly disappear, his mourning period would be very short….

Hi Ben you got me thru alot thank you.
Ma I’m famous thanks for the likes
i remember during quarantine and it was supposed to be banned and i was freaking out even tho i’m in canada 💀
honestly i wouldnt be mad if it did
getting rid of tiktok would be a dream come true
this is the best podcast EVER this is the only thing keeping me same during my homework. love you Ben 🙂 ❤
Crazy how in 20 minutes your videos blow up this much.
Love your stuff Ben, thanks for making me laugh!
me acting like i dont care knowing full well that i use to watch tiktok for 15h a day during summer break
I was so happy TikTok was gonna be banned and a little disappointed when it didn’t happen 💀
the way i fought the urge to open tiktok throughout this whole episode is terrifying
there are third graders in my school who have tik tok and that is honestly terrifying
If TikTok gets banned I probably won’t rlly care
I live in Hong Kong and it got banned here in 2020, but I remember when everyone would see the same memes and audios and stuff. The last trend I remember from it was waking up one morning to the entire for you page being covered in ‘bean TikTok’ ‘tree TikTok’ etc with other really random things.
I’ve never downloaded tiktok and only went on the website to like my besties tiktoks. I’m glad I’ve stayed like this bc anything truly relevant will be told to me through yt. I don’t have any social media but yt and I’ve stayed happy with that for a while. Drama channels and podcasts (drama mama, Adam McIntyre, and a couple others) keep me informed and content with my knowledge of what’s going on in the internet. I think it’s keeping me healthier (mentally) and happier in my opinion. I’m not obsessed with consuming shortform content and feeling pressured by fads on tiktok. Thanks for talking about this ❤️
[p.s. these are just my opinions, whatever makes you happy – continue doing it]
In Norway they might come with a “restriction”so that anyone under the age of 18 can only spend one hour on tik tok.
I honestly think people are latching on to tiktok and it’s becoming all people care about
tiktok needs to be put down
tiktok getting banned means i dont have to see those dream x george cosplay tiktoks anymore. maybe we need this😭😭😭😭btw ilysm Ben 🙂 i listen to your podcast everyday and keeps me going. i struggle alot w/ mental health and listening to you talk, really gave me motivation/ confidence to get out of toxic situations 🌸
as someone who has never had tiktok i’m so ready for this to happen. i mean, i understand why people would be upset but i really do think that the positives will much outweigh the negatives.
i’m gonna be so mad if they don’t actually ban it again
My drama: I started an account pretending that you got kidnapped and it got millions of views, and people actually believed me, like you talked about how actual creators came up to you and asked. I made it as a satire account and even put it in the hashtags a few times, but everyone completely believed you were kidnapped.
