10 Hilarious Memes From the TikTok Outage That Prove We're Addicted

Gen Z’s ultimate weakness.

Early on Wednesday morning, Aussie social media lovers woke to some devastating news: TikTok was reportedly experiencing an outage and more than 40,000 user reports of problems globally.

The issues were pretty mixed. Some of us were unable to log in to the app, and others were unable to load comments or new videos on their fyp.

As you might expect, this left TikTok users distraught, proving that we are all well and truly addicted.

Lucky for us, most weeping TikTok users fled to Twitter to investigate what was going on, and they left behind a trail of hilarious memes, capturing their experience of this catastrophic event.

So, without further ado, here are our top 10.

1. Is it my internet connection?

We’ve all been here. Don’t switch to your data or try unplugging your router, it’s no use buddy.

2. Panic.

Signs of addiction? Surely not.

3. Is it a ban?
