Just like to take this opportunity to say fuck the name "ByteDance"

It's a stupid, corporate, "hip" name that needs to fade into obscurity asap. Not crazy about the company either, but the name in particular is just so fucking cringe

Seems to be the hip thing for social media companies. Meta, X, anyone else want to chip in absolutely stupid names to the list?

All names are arguably ridiculous
