TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’€ BREAKING: ByteDance is pulling the plug on their "book publisher" like itโ€™s that one friend at the party who keeps spilling drinks! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿšซ I mean, who saw this coming?? ๐Ÿคก No cap, they treated this publishing venture like a TikTok dance challenge โ€“ start fast, flame out harder! ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’” "Honestly, we thought kids would *actually* read books after watching TikToks about them. Turns out they just want to watch 30-second cat clips." - Anonymous ByteDance dev, probably ๐Ÿค”โœจ ByteDance was like Drake pointing at a dumpster fire, "Yea, nah, we ainโ€™t doing that." Meanwhile, โ€œBooks? Who even reads anymore? Letโ€™s just stick to scrolling!โ€ ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ You could've sold a billion-dollar NFT of the last page of a classic (but painfully unhinged) novel and it wouldโ€™ve generated more stonks ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ˆ! As we sit here, drinking our overpriced oat lattes โ˜• and scrolling through endless TikToks of people pretending to read while they stare blankly at their screens, Iโ€™ll drop this spicy prediction: ByteDance will release a โ€œBookTokโ€ โ€” where instead of reading, we just watch people react to reading. ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ฅ It's 2023, baby โ€“ reading is *so* last season. Stay chaotic, fam! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿš€โœจ #RIPBooks #BookTok #CringeButBased
