Key note to me here:
>The message from support went on to describe the claimed improvements gained from a catalog ads format, followed by an offer to request to be added to an „opt-out blocklist“ for which approval „isn’t guaranteed.“
„Yeah, we made unauthorized AI images of your intellectual property. We *might* exempt you from that in the future. If we feel like it.“
The fact that they’ll just do that, and you can’t even opt out, is just nasty and abhorrent.
I have spent the last 10+ years working on every online ad platform you can imagine with budgets ranging from thousands to millions annually. It’s pretty simple, don’t put your ad spend into tik tok (or any platform) if they are negatively impacting your brand.
Problem solved without needing an article.
Solution: – Pull all ads from Tiktok. If the devs want to advertise, they can use influencers in private videos, if they really must. Otherwise, avoid Tiktok just like sane people avoid Twitter.
Was trash, still trash (but in creative new ways!).
As if we needed more, another reason to stop using TikTok.
I wonder if this was on the new American spinoff of TikTok or the original group’s. If its the American spinoff, they should sue.
