It did for me multiple times but probably over 10 years ago.

I really wish there was some way to remove all of those short TikTok style videos from the regular Youtube app. My 7yo daughter loves watching art channels on Youtube so I can't remove the app entirely, but she also likes watching those AI generated shorts with those super irritating AI voices which drives me nuts. On the kids Youtube app you can block entire channels so it was easy to curate, but the main app doesn't give you any options like that

I have to phone Rogers to cancel my dad's cable/internet and I am already really pre-angry about how fun this is going to be. Trying to tell myself it is not the persons fault.

Don’t you just cancel all of his credit cards, and the rest just sort of works itself out? The Milton Maneuver.

You can still get charged on a cancelled credit card if you have pre-pay set up and are under a contract.

My dad doesn't care about his credit rating anymore!

I wish TikTok would die and go away. It's like a social media disease.

Those short videos are like hard drugs. I can feel my attention span has changed since viewing them.

This is the main reason I'm so vigilant against my kids watching them, I don't want them to become tiktok zombies. Thankfully they both love Bluey, so there's no argument from them if I turn Youtube off and switch to that

BBC: Is TikTok really a danger to the West?

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64797355

China has attacked a bill going through US Congress that could ultimately see TikTok banned in the States, calling it unjust.

It is the latest move in a years-long row over safety fears about the app which is owned by a Chinese company.

Officials, politicians and security staff in many Western countries have been banned from installing it on work phones.

So what’s the gear grinder?

Wasn't it because we placed him on waivers? Or I may be misremembering.

And seems to have inherited Insta's former terrible trends (licking ice cream tubs at grocery stores, stealing public toilets, etc).

Saw one last night (via Twitter) of a dude rigging panel wires to cook a makeshift airplane snacks meal in a plane bathroom sink, set to rap music like he's slick and thinks he's giving us some travel cheat code. Really didn't need to see that 2 weeks before a 9 hour flight..
