    So don’t use it? I don’t understand why people complain and then don’t do anything as a result of their complaint.

    Stop using the crappy platform. If you want video hosting there are literally way better options and that predate tiktok

    The results? On TikTok, about a third of the content we watched were ads — but it didn’t always feel that way.

    TikTok didn’t respond to a request for data on how frequently ads supposed are to on the bak site and how these ads are dispersed on the For You Page (FYP). However, a TikTok spokesperson told Insider ads supposed are to represent a small portion of the content people should see on their FYP.

      That’s only 3-4 hours. I think most of us would be fine doing that for our job. I certainly would watch 3-4 hours of TikTok and write down some statistics for getting paid.
