This is categorically false: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYveLPTC/

Also it just doesn’t make sense.

there are better citations than tiktok, please.

  • In this case the video is a bona fide Biblical scholar who does public outreach on TikTok. It's a good source.

    • Oh yeah, I just clicked the link and it's Dan McClellan. Maybe TikTok isn't the best place to cite, but he's highly credible in terms of Biblical scholarship and history.

  • The source is Dan Mccllelan, not TikTok. TikTok didn’t publish this, Dan did. TikTok is the medium, not the author.

    Otherwise it’s like complaining about citing “words printed on paper” when citing a book or journal.

    • It's just an unsuitable, attention-zapping, toxic format for sharing information. It would be best to link to an article that can convey the full message. not a 15 second jolt which is what TT is all about.
