That is completely wrong since most users cannot post a website link (hotlink if I need to spell that out...), let alone in a comment.
The only way for a non-ad link to be opened from comments is to copy it and paste it in your native browser.
Business accounts get a special link field that's part of their bio, so again, deeply embedded in TikTok... and those behave exactly like the ads do. TikTok has a permanent "Flag" UI on top of the site, they replace every page load with a TikTok spinner
As expected half the people outraged don't even know what they're outraged about.
It's ironic how you were being condescending when you used the term hotlink ("if I need to spell it out...") and yet used the term incorrectly
Ironic that you latch onto a completely inconsequential mistake to divert from the fact you had no idea what you were talking about.
I just didn't feel like further arguing.
In that guy's other comment he was talking about Meta/Facebook too which is what I'm most familiar with and was primarily referring to about people clicking on links.
Even with TikTok I bet people click on profile links more than ads
Also that's not ironic, maybe you are thinking of another word
