I did this - now TikTok hates me.

Thank you for your support!

Tourists when they can't destroy or deface precious historical sites: 🤬🤬🤬

[thorinoakenshield]

Getting hated in TikTok is one of the best compliments in this decade. Hats off! Thank you for doing this.

[MrGBH]

Imagine getting mad at someone for cleaning up garbage?

Tiktok is the last platform where i would listen to peoples opinions. its the site where braincells go to die.

If TikTok hates you, you know, you have done something right. Keep up the good work. Love can not and should not be locked up and away.

[Olifantenstaart]

90% of these people have broken up before you take the lock off anyway.

[jryan]

tiktok is where intelligence goes to die.

[maixyt]

The amount of privilege by tourists all around the world is so crazy

[denisegrant]

Putting locks on the fence AND dropping keys in the river to prove their boyfriend/girlfriend won’t dump them?🤦🏾‍♀️

[Faith]

those stupid love locks are disrespectful to Prague's culture and history. More people should be removing them. Please don't stop,

You pay taxes, so yes: the city belongs to you! Those locks destroyed already so many old, beautiful bridges. We need to stop this.

[todoralexandrov]

That "It's like an investment in the future" really got to me. Now I can't stop laughing.

Your analogy is perfect, imagine leaving trash somewhere and demanding it not be picked up because it was sentimental for you. This is actually how hoarders minds work, they can't throw things away because they feel attached to the trash.

After seeing the reactions you got from the TikTok hivemind a few months ago, I went and cleared locks off the bridge in downtown Chattanooga. Now me and my girl do it once a year, the city even made a post discouraging people from leaving them on the bridge.

[zlatka_ninova]

We, me and my partner, visited Paris 20 years ago and he asked me to buy a cheap padlock. I didn't. But asked "why should I do this?" He showed me the famous bridge with love locks. Oh my God! It was the most stupid idea I've ever heard!
Do not allow the stupid tourist to pollute your beautiful Prague! Take locks away!

[nikkibee]

I think that Tiktok is rotting people's brains. The comments there really are childish, if not completely nonsensical, often coming from people who post their own content there. That's why I stick to Instagram.

[mmv]

TikTok is mostly just a dumpster. Never been to Prague, but I honestly would prefer to see the sights as they should be, without any trash left behind.

[georgiancrossroads]

The whole commercialized romance of lovelocks is pathetically mindless. And sadly most of the people who commit these senseless sentimental acts are exactly the kind of people with the attention spans of goldfish; TikTokkers who haven't got the ability to sit for ten minutes to watch a video and get educated. But thank YOU Janek (and Honza!) for fighting the good fight!

[Filipeandremarquesso]

tiktok tourists = tourism that we don't need
