Not really, it is still banned, only people who currently have TikTok can still use it until they are updated, you cannot download it anymore. This is what was said would happen. them shutting it off completely was not part of the plan, They still need to unban it to get new app downloads and they need to unban it because your tiktok will not work anymore and become unstable after so many updates that Americans cannot get at this point.

TT was awesome for those 12-17 hours. There was no bullying whatsoever. Except for a bunch of shit talking about Americans, but that’s all in a funny way (just look at how it was all “we can finally use kilograms, kilometers and Celsius”). But real bullying? No, that stopped the second the Americans were banned. There is a girl I have followed for over a year on there. She’s from the UK and has a pretty big birthmark on her face. Every video she makes (she does makeup videos, food videos and talks about her hobbies) the comments are riddled with hate. People saying how they would kill themselves if they had a birthmark like that and even worse stuff. During the ban she made a video where she was crying because for the first time there were absolutely no bullying comments. None. Only hundreds of comments full of love. I myself get hate comments in every single one of my videos. Except for those 12-17 hours. There were no hateful comments whatsoever. But the second the ban was lifted, Americans came back with a vengeance. The hate comments got even worse, specially when they found out that they can say what ever the hell they want now as long as it’s not “leftist.”

1:40 pretty sure it's not said like that in English, it's probably not their first language.

@@malikaia9652 Thank you, Malikaia. It's rather disconcerting when someone comes along and, without a trace of a reason, not only flatly contradicts you, but makes a judgement about your competence. So I'm grateful you posted.

No that’s not how we say it but not everyone left on TikTok when the Americans went are British,would it not be more likely that English isn’t their first language?

[@philipgibbard304]

Please Ryan, don't try to speak in a pseudo-English accent. You can't do it, sorry.

[@Aeroxima]

Only one way to get better

[@unpetitpingouinsauvage6]

I'm not a native english speaker so you're probably right on it, but him trying to do this accent makes me realise the difference between british one and american one so I guess he wasn't that bad at it :')

[@finishcrisp]

Dear God, I would advocate for a complete ban of TikTok globally. The absolute shite I have to listen to from people here in Scotland that 'do' TikTok is frustrating at best, and beyond effin stupid at worst.

[@Aeroxima]

Yeah I don't know what to think about it. On one hand, I don't think its their place to ban and it's too China-like in controlling what sites people can go to and sets a bad precedent. On the other hand, tiktok

Talking with an british accent when they are like 8-10% of europe😅

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

I wouldn't call that a British accent lol, not sure wtf he was going for

[@Codex7777]

The fact that you were doing a (terrible) British accent, for all of them, even though it was clear, to anybody with more than two brain cells, that most of the posts weren't by Brits, didn't do America any favours, lol. :) Btw, we use 'miles' in the UK. We have pints of beer, not litres and although official documents use centimetres, for people's height, virtually everbody uses feet and inches, in everyday usage. For everything else, we're metric. We definitely don't use Fahrenheit! That would be silly! :)

[@AveCaesar2025]

Similar to Ireland where we have a mishmash though we do use Km and litres. But I buy fabric by the yard or the metre, most products have ounces and grams on them and just for fun, the construction industry [my son-in-law works in it] uses a mishmash of inches and cm/m depending on whether they are using large or small measurements. Confuses the heck out of all the mainland Europeans working here until they get the hang of it.

🤣🤣🤣

[@wishedvera2029]

I got one: Americans do not know have a name 👀. America is a continent, USA is a country from America continent. So they should be United-Statesian or usonians, but they prefer to say "I'm amercian", I'm from Peru (a country in America continent) but they usually insult me when I used to say "Oh, I'm american too 😊". Hell no. Tiktok ban was so peaceful with out usonians

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

@@wishedvera2029 Well, if you didn't know that... they have the "America" in the country's name, the "A" in "usa" literally stands for that word. And obviously you will say "american", just as how you say "czech" instead of "republican" (Czech Republic).

[@anerd42]

Celsius: The "°C" sign is spoken as "degree Celsius" and a kilo gram ( 1 kg) is 1000 g. Its the beauty of the International system of measurements ;)

[@paulavitoria1798]

We don't say Celsius because we don't have to differentiate from Fahrenheit, because... wait for it... NOBODY uses it!!! We just say "20 degrees". "It's hot/cold/fair outside" also will do. Ryan, you disappoint me! What do you mean "In countries with AC"? Do you think we don't know what AC is? It's just that our houses aren't made of cardboard, so, the insulation is much better (also double glass windows and, in many houses, central heating). And we don't want to spend massive amounts of energy, too.

[@eisikater1584]

Dude, Celsius is THE ONE AND ONLY scientific and reasonable thing: Water freezes at 0 and boils at 100, and 20 outside is warm weather. It's a decimal scale everyone uses except, well, you know. Besides of that, I'm not interested in Tiktok at all, never used it, and if I hadn't subscribed to your channel, that really HILARIOUS video never would have come to my attention. Thanks for that, I had some good laughs, and keep up your good work!

20°C is a real physical cool, neither warm, nor cold. Warm is 24°C and above 30°C it is hot.

[@DanDownunda8888]

It depends on where you live. It was 40c in Perth Western Australia today and now at midnight it is 33c :)

[@milliondollarart]

20°C is actually warm, as its usually measured in shadow. So basically on sun is much warmer. Also if you do any sport 20 degrees its probably the best for excercising.

[@QuentinPlant]

20°C is "room temperature" for me

[@RaduRadonys]

If above 30°C is hot, how is 47°C?

[@espneindanke9172]

20°C is primarily the "standard temperature". Wherever particularly high precision is required in production, the temperature should be around 20°C. Testing and measuring equipment is also calibrated at 20°C. Assuming that "part A" is manufactured at 10°C and "part B" at 30°C (e.g. in a different building), the parts will not fit together. Where I work, the tolerances are a few thousandths of a millimetre.

[@andyt8216]

1:44 “you guys” as if one poster who’s first language my not be English represents that uniform non-American block!

[@SysterYster]

We don't say "There's 20 Celsius outside" we say "There's 20 degrees outside", but yeah, we use the logical system of Celsius. lol. Fahrenheit is just random and weird. Celsius and Kelvin are logical, but Kelvin is less practical to use in everyday situations.

[@geoffburns3540]

Effectively, TikTok wasn't 'banned' - they CHOSE to shut down. Of course, there wasn't a deal with the incoming crew about doing that and suddenly reopening once the handover was done. No, no deal at all. Perish the thought.
