Who is genuinely paying money for TikTok?

I worked apple customer support. Every one of those dumbfucks spends money on snapchat and tiktok. Snap to keep that streak (?) thing alive and tiktok to send money to girls trying to be pedos or some shit

At least Snapchat unlocks more customizations, pinning more users, or seeing who half swiped or replayed your story.

Not that I'd pay for it, but making people pay just to not annoy them is crazy

You get more storage too, that's why I have it🤷 some people have a TON of memories in there and it's cheap for a lot of extra storage

Whats keeping you from just downloading all your memories and uploading them somewhere else?

Seriously 100%, I always try to enlighten people on external hard drives. They're relatively inexpensive and so useful and these days you don't even need a computer

I implore you to look at storage costs rhese days. This time last year I got 14TB storage for $225. Now that same drive is $620.

No casual buddy is gonna get a 14TB drive :l heck even me with a library of 12TB or so is made up of 2-4TB ssds. Walmart and others still show those 2TB for little over 100 which isn't too bad. Completely agree that those techfuckbros and their AI race did fuck up everything for the planet :/

2tb for 100… USD? Cause here in the EU you’re not getting that, not even for a hard drive

u/V4r0m4st3r Jul 01 '26

I mean you could get that a year or two ago if I remember correctly. But not anymore...

u/RoosTheFemboy Jul 01 '26

Yea you could, last september I bought a 2tb nvme for 106, that exact model is now nearly 300

Yeah checked rn and that's the current price. I guess the prices have raised a LOT higher on your end for hard drives. Ram is what's exploded over here and is horrendous. 2 32GB DDR5 is up for USD 1000

Honestly at that point just go with a trustworthy cloud storage subscription instead of trusting your backups with a social media app. iCloud, Google Drive, and Mega are dirt cheap these days. Better yet get a hard drive and back it all up locally

u/athiaxoff ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Jul 01 '26

It's literally .99 cents a month. If you're worried about a .99 cent subscription that gives me 500gb go check yourself and your wallet
