TikTok sucks

I started a TikTok account dedicated to figure skating a couple of months ago because I thought it would be really fun to do, and it was for a time, but recently it’s just been really weighing on me. People on TikTok can be really mean if you share a different opinion than them, which I expected when I started the account and honestly was looking forward to a little bit because I like discourse and I like having debates with people over subjects I’m passionate about, but recently idk it’s just felt really depressing and disheartening and I’m not really getting the same enjoyment out of it anymore. I’ve been accused of being racist and misogynistic honestly for no reason at all and it’s really frustrating cuz I know I’m not those things and these people would know that if they knew me but it’s hard not to take things to heart sometimes. I know this is just the nature of social media in general, but it really irks me how people who have never met me in my life make assumptions about me based on an account on the internet. And maybe you’re thinking ok well stop making videos then, but I don’t want to cuz I DO like this TikTok account it’s just hard to deal with people talking baseless crap about you just cuz you like different skaters than them. Sorry, just a little rant lmao cuz this account is making me want to cry.

Why did this spin get a level 2?

Follow up to my previous question about Jia’s spin levels. So I understand potentially not giving credit for the difficult flying entry because the landing is kind of bad but even that I’m like eh because in the technical handbook it says it should count as long as the intended basic position is reached within two revolutions and it is. But even if that wasn’t counted, wouldn’t this spin still be a level 3? Why isn’t she getting credit for the remaining three features: the two difficult variations in camel upward and camel sideways and holding the camel sideways variation for 8 revolutions?

What’s the difference between these two spins?

Hey, so I’m currently being driven to insanity by spin level rules and I wanted to get on here and ask because I can’t figure it out. Why did Jia’s first spin at the Olympics receive a level 3 but the second spin at Worlds received a level 4? And I’ve looked and she usually gets a level 4 for this spin, so I’m really confused why she didn’t get a level 4 at the Olympics because the same features are being used in that spin as the one at Worlds and the execution is pretty similar as well.
