15 Most Hated Brands in the US

4. TikTok

Insider Monkey Score: 5

There are lot of reasons why TikTok is on the list of the most hated brands in the US. Since its initial release in 2016, the app has become a fixture on practically every one of our phones. Since its launch, the video-sharing network has had over three billion downloads. Somehow, this platform has the most detractors, primarily among young people who utilize it. One of the most appealing aspects of this Chinese software is its lack of a genuine endpoint. You may literally scroll for hours, if not days, without the algorithm running dry.

While still toxic, whether on Instagram or Twitter, you ultimately encounter a content wall. On TikTok, the mindless scrolling is limitless. Another issue is TikTok’s privacy concerns—this conglomerate knows more about how your brain works than you do. Additionally, some parents believe that these social media apps are a waste of time for their children.
