Wouldn’t TikToks rise be in opposition to that idea?
- shakezula 5y agoIt’s not the end of social media, just nearing the end of its first gods.
- Traubenfuchs 5y agoTikTok can be considered at least 3rd generation, if FB and Twitter were second and first is MySpace. I am sure one could argue there are more generations. Twitter is not among the first social media god generation.
- klyrs 5y agoIn my experience, first generation happened on BBSs (contemporaneous with usenet, which wasn't on my radar until it was nearly dead). Then came niche community discussion boards and AOL. Then, Geocities and webrings. Friendster came out a few months earlier than MySpace, but they were close enough to be the same generation. By my count, TikTok is sixth generation? I can't help but feel that I'm missing a few; not even considering my anglocentric experience.
- oldsecondhand 5y agoTikTok is just another iteration on Vine. It doesn't seem an upgrade from that just has more money behind it.
- the_other 5y agoI don't use TikTok, so I'm probably wrong here.. but isn't TikTok "algorithmically served user generated content" rather than "community" or "social media". As I understand it, it's like a TV station. If there's "dialog", it's in the form of answer-films, rather than actual discussion. If it does behave the way I think it does, then it backs up the idea that social media is on the wane.
