It's impossible to discuss TikTok in isolation without discussing its algorithm or the whole 'the medium is the message' nature of it - which is precisely what distinguishes it from the era of the weird and bizarre personal website. In other words, it's inherently biased towards one form of content in a way that the general web is not (a website can contain anything, unlike TikTok).
Opinions of what's "weird and fun" can vary a lot. I find this stuff about as appealing as watching AI-generated Queen Elizabeth fight Stephen Hawking, or someone sneaking into Chernobyl to practice their parkour.
I don't want "weird and fun" anymore, and neither does everyone else who avoids TikTok.
Not classic enough. You need to add an actual explanation if you want that comment to work.
What are the multiple meanings to the same phrase? Presumably "weird and fun" is what you're calling out? But to me their post looks like it's using the exact same meaning both times.
Could you do me a favor and paraphrase the two meanings of "weird and fun" you see?
Because we can rewrite the second sentence with a pronoun so you're only parsing "weird and fun" once: "It's all on tiktok!" or to get over the top pedantic in removing any possibility of a double meaning: "The exact thing they say is lacking in quantity is still there on tiktok in full quantity."
Those both sound like basically the same as the original to me and they clearly don't have an equivocation fallacy on the phrase "weird and fun".
You could complain that putting so much on tiktok rather than other sites ruins the distribution, or something like that. Or you could say they're wrong and there is less. But that's not the equivocation fallacy you're accusing them of.
