Still don’t know what it is or what it does and I’m relatively young for this board.

Anyone care to give a brief synopsis of what the fuck is going on here?

      So YouTube crossed with You’ve Been Framed it would appear but missing the funny part.

      Not sure what else to say, apart from hats off to the inventors of something that already exists but in a slightly different format.

      It’s for kids and young adults with vanity issues. I’ve seen some videos and in general, I’m embarrassed for everyone involved.

      The ones where people do voiceovers for Trump, Ricky Gervais, Megan Markle etc are fucking excruciating. Particularly that guy who does The Office, not funny in the slightest. Cunts.

        Smallman1 Nobody subscribes to his TikTok page. It’s just him wandering around buying stuff like Replay jeans / awful New Balance or drinking cider to a chug soundtrack. Only special video effect: squashed head.

          I think Dave would be a good TikTok’er.

          Skipping down Beijing’s answer to Oxford St, head to toe in pastel with a couple of Chinese brasses shouting “I’m living the dreeeeeeeeeeeam” using the Hanyu Pinyin transliteration.

          Millsy’s page is mostly populated by him ‘nearly doing’ Basketball tricks properly
          All in slow mo to Nelly Furtado - Say It Right.

            Lol. This is great content.

            Hursty My nieces are both big users/viewers on this platform. From what I’ve seen, it’s a lot of “dance challenges” and random stupidity….kinda like Vine used to be, but worse.

                Kells77 Thank you for the additional clarity. I think this platform is unlikely to migrate to the older generations like Facebook, however I may be wrong!

                  seanc80 Quick search shows that track has 500 million views on YouTube, which is mental, but then noticed in the side bar that Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know has over 1.4 billion views. Proper folding money that.

                    Really? How to these ‘youtubers’ become so rich?

                      Sarah Cooper excepted. IMO. Otherwise agree.

                          Don’t have Tik Tok, or plan to get it, but the really good ones usually get viral in Twitter. I suspect they are few.

                          Homegrove She mimes Trump. How original. Its actually even more annoying than watching him.

                              LT42 The first Sarah Cooper one, when it was original, was very good.

                              Now it’s been done to death by her and others.

                                The guy who does the scenes from the Office can’t do it without looking like a cocky, smarmy bastard, and not in the style of Brent, but in the style of - look how good I am at miming scenes from The Office. I had to block the cunt as he was appearing on my time line daily.

                                Smallman1 Ed, even if the cpm
                                was 0.1p, that would be £1,400. What sort of cpms are you seeing on the OMP?!

                                  Smallman1 This isn’t wrong. Especially when you have little kids like my niece and nephews who are hooked on watching shit like other kids unboxing new toys. 🤦🏼‍♀️

                                    Isn’t tiktok really bad for monitoring its users?

                                      Blain I’m guessing there is an issue as Trump wants to ban it? It threatens National Security apparently, most probably due to the user data that is being harvested to then target and influence people with content the ‘Owners’ want to push.

                                        Think he was offended by all the people on there taking the absolute piss out of him too. He blocked Sarah Cooper months ago.

                                        And it wouldn’t have anything to do with the bruise to his ego when his Tulsa rally didn’t have “millions” of people there. Probably not. Maybe?

                                        Thought I would resurrect this thread and see if anyone has joined the TikTok cabal since 2020?

                                          From a DJ perspective, the Shorts / ‘Reels’ I’ve just started learning/doing recently get posted on each of my existing channels (Insta, Facebook, Youtube) and I thought I might as well share them on Tik Tok.

                                          Honestly I prefer the idea of strengthening one main channel, but at least for now I’m learning as I’m doing and seeing what offers what value to people viewing and also what’s worth my time to help get my name out there.

                                          So far I’ve noticed a lot of friends coming onto Tiktok, but I’ve only done about 5 vids - and most of my lot are on my Facebook/Insta. Apparently the younger audience is all over tiktok and most of my friends are 30+.

                                          Some youtube training videos for DJs such as Grahame Farmer are claiming that youtube is the one to back. Youtube has the advantage that it’s a search engine and not social media, so as time goes on, for all of my content since 2020, the views and exposure build over time.

                                          I have a feeling I may leave TikTok behind but don’t want to have nothing on there either.

                                            NasserAlazzawi TikToc permissions are fucking crazy, makes the Facebook ones look like they were done by an amateur

                                              Is it just me or is Sophie Ridge getting hotter?

                                              I like TikTok but you need to be careful with it. That’s all I’m saying.

                                                I’m not saying anything else mate. Just only look at stuff you want it to think you like and not what you actually like.

                                                  LOL

                                                  Sounds like someone’s been sailing close the pr0n wind and nearly exposed by ‘the algorithm’!

                                                    C_J Is it just me or is Sophie Ridge getting hotter?

                                                    She spat a kid out late last year and dumped a load of weight after. So yes, she’s just not fat anymore which subsequently means hotter. Unless you like fat birds obvs.

                                                      A girl that I know set up a TickTok account, her description of herself was that she is a Gym Bunny and an Absolute Weapon (still makes me laugh to this day) I told her that it didn’t mean what she thought it did, but she wasn’t having none of it. Proper fruit cake.
