We watched 1,000 TikToks in one sitting. The algorithm served up a shocking number of ads, rivaling network TV.

Wtf are you talking about? Arguably the rise of streaming and TV recording is purely due to the disgusting amounts of advertising on TV. Streamers start adding ads to their paid services and everyone goes "this is why we stopped watching live TV, are you stupid, Netflix?" Nobody bats an eye at TV ads? I literally haven't watched live TV for over a decade. What planet have you been living on?
I said that no one seems to be shocked by the amount of ads on tv, while they are so shocked by the same amount on tiktok. Which I think is rather peculiar (or hypocritical). If that was not clear, then please accept my apologies.
Yes that's what I thought you said. I asked wtf you were talking about because what you were saying is so incorrect that it is like you intentionally chose the opposite of the truth, sorry if that wasn't clear.
