LIVE: The Psychology of the TikTok Rug Pull w/ Psychologist Dr. Roger Rhoades

In this episode of The Collier Landry Show, we dive into the psychological impact of banning TikTok and how it affects creators and audiences alike. Dr. Roger Rhoades shares insights into how platforms like TikTok provide not only a creative outlet but also a sense of community and identity. For many, the potential ban feels like a “rug pull,” threatening their livelihood and emotional well-being. Dr. Rhoades explains how the sudden loss of such a platform can lead to anxiety, loss of identity, and feelings of instability. This conversation explores the broader psychological toll of social media disruptions and what it means for the future of digital spaces.
