Is this a young person thing? Everyone in my 30+ age group does not have TikTok
As I approach 40, I’ve decided to give my ADHD a break and never use Tiktok. I’d say about 60% or so of my peers are on it. Supposedly, even though its seen as a younger person thing, the demographics of Tiktok lean heavily towards millenials.
Tiktok is the only social media I’ve seen promoted at live sport events I go to, and it’s been continuous for many years now. Celebrity endorsements and sponsored content, huge TV spots, they are pushing big marketing dollars and based on the placement, its meant for gen X if anything.
Do they watch reels? Or shorts?
I like fishin’ and Hooters is my favorite restaurant. So you betcha.
Only 1 does in my group, the minute I saw his links included his full profile/username I noped out from even opening his links.
About half of my friends use TikTok but it’s not as aggressive as this pic would imply. In fact most of them are pretty good about citing a specific user to checkout when they are sharing something informative
That said my friends are all 25~35 and are generally nerdy types who self educate so ymmv
Is it me or is the picture rotated clockwise ever so slightly?
Yeah, no, it definitely is. I’ve professionally zoomed in on my phone and then dragged the image to the screen edge. The bottom end of her user-tag is particularly obvious.
Need to defeat repost protection? Horizontal flip won’t work because of pesky people not wanting to read mirrored text? Slap a lil 2.5° rotation on that baby! See also: random markup line added that looks like hair/dust.
This would be funnier if the order of the lines was reversed
Yeah, one of our students pulled the “I watched a documentary” line and it just completely threw us when she admitted that it was actually just 4 TikTok posts. I mean, it was enough superficial knowledge to fill a conversation, but we all expected a TV documentation from the olden days.
This used to be Reddit for me, now it’s Lemmy and the fediverse
I still have to go to reddit pages for a lot of random things like technical issues or niche game info because Lemmy isn’t big enough yet.
It works for news, but not much else.
Remember kids, if you can’t cite your sources in APA format, you got it from TikTok and nobody believes you.
Also works for YouTube, or so people say.
If I said I saw it in a documentary, it was from A&E in the 90’s or 2000’s. Like the one on Ray Krock where they quoted him as saying “If my competitors were drowning in a sea of gasoline, I would toss in a lit match.”
Ray needs to chill the McFuck out.
