TikTok is adding a 'dislike' button to video comments, but it's not really intended for users.
The Dark Reality of Being a Content Creator
Like any public social media platform, TikTok has its share of nasty comments, but it has been working on a dislike button to (in theory) make identifying those comments a little easier. However, smashing the dislike button won’t make those offensive comments go away.
The new button resembles similar buttons with similar functionality on other platforms, namely a stylized "thumbs down" button, which sits next to the heart-shaped Like button.
According to the TikTokComms Twitter account, the goal is to give the community a more direct way to share feedback en masse with the service itself. Feedback about what is deemed "irrelevant or inappropriate," which TikTok says it will use to "create a comments section for genuine and authentic interactions."
