Social networks are constantly monitoring each other. This applies to TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and even services such as YouTube and Spotify, which, although not primarily social networks, take more and more common elements from them and integrate them into their own services. And it is in the competition to attract the user’s attention as long as possible that it is more than proven that social functions can play a key role.

So so many observations are common that in the end functions that debut in any of them will skip to some or all of them shortly thereafter. We have also seen this on many occasions, and last year we experienced a very clear example of when many other services began to replicate the function of live audio rooms after the Clubhouse boom. With some variations, yes, but with indisputable inspiration. Neither service is flawless in this regard.

The latest example of this is TikTok, the most popular service among the youngest and which, despite the frivolous image it has among many people who do not use it, also offers some of the most interesting contentwhether they are leisure, informative, humorous, etc. In my case, I think I have commented on this occasionally, TikTok seems to me to be a very interesting platform that I spend more or less the same time as other networks (actually not much) and which is underestimated me compared to other services.

Be that as it may, and as I said, all networks are “inspired” by others, and the latest example can be found in TikTok, which began testing its function to evaluate negative comments to the publications, as stated by the company itself through its official blog. A feature we’ve found on other services like YouTube for years, which Twitter has thoroughly tested over the past year.

Post title, “New ways to support kindness and security at TikTok“, It seems to suggest that the votes should in some way affect the visibility of negative comments and perhaps the general visibility of their authors. However, this is not clarified, perhaps because it is still in the testing phase, what will be the specific range of negative votesas it will not even be possible to see them, only the author of the comment will see the negative reviews.
