I am low key dissapointed there wasn't actual suicide. To be honest. But eh happy ending, fine ok.
Do we have an “attempted suicide” tag?

No, and I think it's better that way. The "suicide" tag only means that it's a theme or plot point in the story, not that there's actually a concluded one. It's a content warning tag to prevent undue stress to people that might be affected by the topic and as such often also presents a spoiler for the story. With that in mind I think at least the uncertainty of what actually happens should remain.
That said, we do have "Rape" and "Foiled Rape Attempt", so I guess you could argue for consolidating those.

I think the foiled tag is helpful, because it says while the content will be heavy and uncomfortable at the very least the act was stopped. That's slightly easier to mentally prepare for than the tag that indicates that the act happened.
For similar reason I think a suicide attempt tag would be helpful. At least going into a story knowing that the act didn't succeed, it would at least be a little easier to start a story revolving around suicide if I know that they don't die.
I think that information is helpful for topics that are uncomfortable.
These literal 10 year olds running around doing all this stuff... Do Asagao's parents just give her their credit card?
Feel like this one would have worked perfectly fine if they were college age at least
It would've "worked" but it would have felt fundamentally different. Sasakana's works are often about the exploitation of children, how adults simultaneously view them as "pure and innocent" while wielding harsh punishment the moment they step out of line, and this one is no different. Note how the comments swing on a dime between over-the-top praise to bitter judgment (or that one even explicitly sexualizes Kaede).
It's obviously supposed to be disturbing that such young girls are engaging in this behavior. They were forced to grow up before they were ready due to their absent parents (presumably Asagao's are rich and give her a credit card as an excuse to not have to take care of her), but they lack both the emotional maturity and -- at least as importantly -- the social standing to properly deal with their situations. Instead of offering help, though, society objectifies them for entertainment. A lot of this you would lose if you aged up the characters.
Sure, but does the work really comment meaningfully on the immaturity of the characters or how they are perceived by their viewers? We’re presented with some generic backstory about abusive parents that ceases being relevant after a few pages, after which the kids’ behavior doesn’t seem to reflect their ages at all. If the aim were to show that this behavior is disturbing or wrong, there really are not many clues until the attempted suicide at the end. One could construe this as a commentary on the destructive nature of social media, or the fact that people who act happy aren’t necessarily truly so - but the ages of the characters don’t really seem to play a huge factor into this. Rather, they interfere with suspension of disbelief, which affects the perception of the main plot points.
The ideas you’ve presented are meaningful ones, for sure, but I just don’t feel like the author developed them in much detail in this work.

As a counter point, a rape or foiled rape is more likely to happen towards the start or middle of a story, while a suicide or suicide attempt will either be the inciting incident or climax. That means splitting rape and foiled rape attempt spoils less than a similar split for suicide would. I'd also argue there's a bigger difference in impact between a rape and a foiled rape, compared to a suicide and foiled suicide, to the point where a foiled rape can even be played for comedy in a way that none of the other three can.

Now I can't speak with much authority on the topic, as I do not suffer from PTSD (as far as I know), but it's not about "how uncomfortable will this be". It's a content warning for people who, for what is essentially medical reasons, can not safely subject themselves to such content, which to my understanding does not necessarily hinge on the outcome of events in the story.
For everyone else, preparing for the worst and then being relieved that things didn't turn out to be as bad as feared should not be a problem.

I really don't think that's all that important. Besides, we have plenty of stories involving suicidal ideation, attempts and also concluded suicides (usually of side characters) early on, or even as a kickoff for the story, rather than at the end.

"Should not be a problem" is a matter of your opinion here. If it's a problem or not for you, me, or other people, is a matter of what each person can tolerate / handle. I personally appreciate varied kinds of warnings to know the severity of content, I don't mind getting a bit spoiled because I think it's helpful. I could go into how different subjects impact me personally, but I don't want to. So I say uncomfortable as a broad term to generally cover bases.
I enjoy this ending, thankfully much more enjoyable compare to this author's previous work.
Asagao's parents are rich and probably give her tons of money for her allowance [Remember you people...She paid for the MC's lunch that is about 4500 yen($45) without blinking a eye...] plus all the other expenses like new clothes for their hangout/date...It not that rare or uncommon for rich parents to casually give their children allowance of about 200-500 dollar per month...Us commoner/plebeians are lucky to even get like 10-20 dollars per week as a allowance as a kid or high school student.
...You can easily see that stuff on U-tube easy...There are even parents paying for their children's rent when they move out (Meaning nope...your not surviving and living by your own power but with the help the power of your parent's money...Yeah it's sad that it hard to become a true functioning member of society without any aid.)
Asagao and MC here sure both have very neglectful parents (Though MC's parent is fking worse since MC only get a allowance of 500 yen, 5 dollars to basically to survive everyday and have to look after her half-sibling while her mother goes on date with her new BF...)
Asagao's case though...Her living needs are taken care of but her emotional needs are not, classmates that at first praise her become jealous of her/muttering and talking bad about her [No friends]. The maturity level for these two kids...People tend to forgot each human/child is different...They can either be very childish, naive and mentally immature due to being coddled or they learn to grow up faster due to the negative harsh environment that they have to endure living each day...having only their own thoughts to keep them company when they have no friends to pass the time.
Both of them going on social media to ease their loneliness and eventually discovered each other thankfully.
Every child/kid deserves a parent(s/excluding very very rare 0.0001% situation)....But not every parent deserves a kid...
Hopefully MC continue a happy life with her new 'friend(?)'
EDIT part here: The only SOD (Suspension of disbelief) moment I had with this one-shot is a streaming/media site allowing them to actually stream despite their young ages...I mean K*ck and Tw*tch allows 13+ and I guess adults film their children daily life for views sometimes which is messed up but I guess it is technically possibly if they are using their parent account or in rich girl case paid her maid to make the account?

Most people mind getting spoiled. If knowing whether a character actually commits suicide or not is important to someone, that person can just check out the comments.

Well I'd find the more detailed tagging helpful myself, that's all I can say as I can only speak for myself. I'll leave it there and agree to disagree with further argument on this topic, it's ultimately up to the website staff and I rather not spend more time debating it. Moving forward I also think the focus should shift back to the story being discussed anyhow.
not to dismiss the analysis but the characters are kids because the author like lolis - is a lolicon
Oh yeah, um... what's with the title?
The Japanese title is “ロングロングタップオンリーオンリールック”, i.e. literally “rongu rongu tappu onrii onrii rukku”. Not sure what the intent was here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Feels like something out of Otherside Picnic to me somehow... I feel like it's meant to sound like some sort of ritual, i.e. "bow bow clap clap bow"?
That and I assume tap/long tap on phone for recording but I have no idea there, I don't really record and I've never used TikTok
Scared me for a bit there

I guess it's like, the viewers keep looking at these kids and don't seem to question wtf they're up to? I dunno.
Yeah, irl their accounts would probably get banned lol, Japan is more private/touchy about kids being shown off on social media
Also yes the author is obviously a lolicon but it still is a bit odd to just put little girls in everything ever without worrying about the rest.

Someone said why the characters were 10 years old instead of a college age, and someone answered that if they were in college, the story would not work and that is why I pointed out that the girls simply have that age because the author is a lolicon, not because I don't care about the rest, in fact I did not even make a comment about the story lol. Sometimes the short answer is just the correct answer, that’s all
