TikTok Pi

The geeky talk du jour why mainland Chinese ByteDance’s beloved app is so addictive to millions of netizens worldwide is that its wicked algorithm unprovenly makes use of the digits of the irrational and transcendental number π.

Some team members behind the TikTok pi hypothesis were previously underpaid hackers from North Korea, Russia, and Iran—they’re poached by CCP headhunters, whose mission is to recruit raw or rogue foreign talents, who’d help make China great again.
