For those that are clueless, tik tok is essentially vine but made by a Chinese company that is most likely some sort of Chinese spying app or attempt to infiltrate Western countries https://youtu.be/B3f574bDylM What are your thoughts? Am I nuts for thinking that this app seemingly popped up out of nowhere like a god damn blitzkrieg attempting to steal the souls of young Americans and Europeans? With the shit China has been involved in I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I was right
it appeared out of nowhere, at first didn't seem too interesting, but only a few viral videos later and I find it fucking hilarious.
I never heard of it before people started bitching about, and it looks just as stupid as shit as the last one, musically
Same company, bytedance, made both interestingly
It didn’t really come out of anywhere, musically was bought by TikTok, so musically’s userbase became TikTok’s.
Nah, Musica.ly was a different company entirely. Bytedance bought them out because Musica.ly had the western audience that they wanted to expand into with their almost entirely Chinese audience app. They just merged Musica.ly into TikTok entirely, porting all user data. After seeing non-stop ads for Musica.ly I did some research into that shit as it was driving me nuts and I wanted to see who the fuck was throwing that much ad cash down.
Hmm that makes a lot of sense
girlfriend just got this on her phone a week or so ago, the editing you can do on the fly in the app is actually pretty neat. from what I can tell It's basically snapchat but you don't need friends and it has more features
It could be some crazy Chinese infomation harvesting shit. OR it's the closest thing we get to a rebirth of Vine. I absolutely love TikTok and sometimes spend about an hour just watching compilations with my friends. The whole idea you can duet pretty much anybody's videos on the app allows for some good quality content (but from what I've heard it's mostly just trolls on the platform now which is still hilarious) Lots of great meme material is coming out of TikTok and I 100% support it. also for some reason there's a strangely large population of furries on TikTok.
Watching some of the content that comes out of it is a guilty pleasure tbh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndBoCSlHyKc
also alot of it is people cosplaying and lip syncing and as mentioned above the occasional furry if it is information harvesting it's going to be the single largest datebase of weebs and furries the planet has ever seen
Its basically vine for new generation. have no problems with it.
A community of furries, weebs, "littles", traps, tumblrinas, 4channers, thots, fuckboys, middle-aged parents, and normies together performing what is the live-action equivalent of those youtube animation memes. Fucking incredible.
I think the site should stay up so that no one who's "famous" from the site floods Youtube.
Instructions unclear, wondering who P Diddy feels like when he wakes up.
what? is this a fetish thing? i bet its a fetish thing
Oh jesus christ As somebody who is part of that community Why the fuck would you want to recreate it
He means Ricky Berwick.
I thought that was Coub
ironic ones are the only good ones
hold the fuck up when did critical start showing his face in videos
I'm always paranoid of Chinese cultural spying or whatever the buzzword is for it now, but Tiktok doesn't really scream that for me and seems to be more like a Vine replacement instead. Regardless, meme potential so far seems great and if it stays like that, then I'll let it float as opposed to getting the Musical.ly userbase flood Youtube like when Vine closed down.
Nah that's for Russians
its all over the fucking place in chinese speaking countries to the point that we're already sick and tired of it here in asia glad its starting to get some exposure in the west though you guys enjoy it
oh you innocent soul. it's a fetish thing alright. Spoilered for anyone who wants to keep their innocence: essentially it's a girl or guy who acts as if they are a small-child/baby. wearing diapers, using pacifiers, shit like that, and they have a "daddy" or "mommy" who takes care of them.
jesus im just glad that here in asia its just mostly dancing stuff and song syncing shit the tiktok stuff i saw people in the west made is just fucking weird i mean there are funny stuff but most of the shit i saw are cringey as hell
