I think I'm just an old guy at this point who doesn't get it but what is so different between tik tok, youtube, bandcamp etc? Can't you view popularity metrics on all of these platforms? Why are they so focused on this one platform?
- bombcar 4y agoTikTok is where the teens are apparently, and so they want to capitalize on that. Whether it actually coverts to dollars may remain to be seen.
- pessimizer 4y agoBut judging by the 90s-00s Disney Channel stars we're swamped with now, I'd say that all indicators point to yes.
- sidlls 4y agoBecause TikTok is mainly (not "only", just "mainly") about people watching short-form content like stupid dancing/music memes, "edgy" political commentary, "challenges" and other low-quality garbage content consumed primarily by teens since humans left trees. And teens are the primary target audience for a certain segment of the music industry.

- shakes_mcjunkie 4y agoTikTok is another level of content recommendation that's unmatched by other platforms. Partially due to the short form content that allows TikTok to learn preferences quickly. TikTok has session times almost as long as Facebook which means users are watching a lot of videos. I imagine this allows users to be targeted very effectively and that's why TikTok is talked about a lot as a platform that makes random stuff go viral quickly.
