44 分钟I cannot believe that I'm making this episode.
I really can't believe it.
When I deleted TikTok two or three years ago now, I truly believed in my core that I would never in a million years redownload the app.
And now here I am, redownloading the app.
I know it's shocking to me too, and I do feel a little bit hypocritical in a way, because I made such a about deleting the app and damning it as being evil.
And there's a part of me that's a little uncomfortable with the decision I've made to go back on the app.
I feel maybe a little bit spineless, maybe a little bit irrational for initially deleting it and damning it to hell as I did.
I feel a little bit embarrassed.
I think about sort of going back on my word, but I am, you know what?
It might get banned next week anyway, and then it's all good.
I guess I'm not on TikTok anymore.
I guess no one is.
But as it stands now, TikTok still exists, and I will be redownloading it on my phone.
In fact, I haven't redownloaded it yet, but I'm going to redownload it right now, and I'm going to do it with you here so we can share this moment together.
Uh, it's on my phone again.
What a weird feeling.
Okay, so let's start from the beginning.
Actually, let's discuss why I deleted TikTok in the first place, because I think it's important to go back down memory lane.
So I was on TikTok, I think, starting in, like, 2019, and I was initially hesitant to get on the platform because prior to it being TikTok, as we all know, it was musical ly, which was an app where people just lip synced to music.
And I personally found that cringe, which, in retrospect, is mean.
