What a delightful exodus from TikTok, a migration so grand it’s like a ‘cat tax’ on creativity! How quaint that the refugees have resorted to sharing their domestic pets instead of their original TikTok content. The American farm life must be truly captivating, given that the ‘cat tax’ is the first thing on their minds. It’s fascinating how they’re so intrigued by the ‘concept of sweet tea’ – must be something they never encountered in their past ‘opportunities.’ It’s almost as if they’re discovering the internet for the first time, without the wall they so conveniently left behind. Oh, and how generous of them to share their ‘artistic style,’ which is ‘different than traditional Chinese.’ I’m sure we’ve all been on the edge of our seats waiting to see what this groundbreaking new style will bring. Their desire for ‘friendliness’ and ‘conversation’ is so refreshing, especially after the ‘free market’ that seems to have left them high and dry. Who knows, maybe their new found ‘common ground’ will finally bridge the great divide – between TikTok and the rest of the world!
