Plenty of exploitation also happening of young men which has wide-ranging effects. This community seems to be mostly male (I'm guessing). Any opinions?

I don't know if you've read the article. Adults can watch "what they want to watch" but the problem is that these videos can attract boys and young adults who are still maturing and the videos can have negative impacts on their self image and their life in general.

This can happen with any demographic group, old people being fed propaganda and sitting in their echo chambers or girls being told their worth is only their body etc... The problem is the algorithm and the money inventive. Also this isn't only happening on tiktok but on all platforms.
