Not that he remotely understands the video sharing social networking service, but Mark Walsh is pretty sure TikTok is addictive.
“They don’t even talk to each other, it’s just staring at a screen,” stated Walsh, who once saw two teenagers on their phones on a bus and hasn’t shut up about it since.
“These bloody kids with their bloody TikTok, too addictive, bad for their brains.”
Although no expert on the topic, Walsh may not realise he is someone who can speak confidently about addiction as he is definitely addicted to online gambling and porn.
“That’s different, TikTok is new,” explained Walsh, forgetting that his dad didn’t have an opportunity to become addicted to online gambling or porn.
“And kids don’t need it whereas I really need to win some money back. Soon.”
Furthermore, Walsh returned to his ‘teen bus anecdote’ from earlier and outlined how addiction to screens can ruin people’s social skills.
However, Walsh is less concerned with how porn has seriously skewed how he sees women and much more concerned with Roosters doing Souths by more than 20 so he could actually afford to eat.
Opening an incognito window on his laptop he then asked our reporters to leave.
