Tiktok is a video sharing software that many people around the world use. People are able to record and edit videos up to 3 mins and share it to something called the FYP (For You Page). Many people have became widely known just for participating in a popular trend or posting something someone may deem relatable. It has changed my way of thinking because in a click of a button, someone can gain fame in seconds due to an algorithm. Many have changed career paths because of this app. Also, It interested me how many activists and speakers were on the app. It is eyeopening to witness so many different perspectives and ideas. However, since the audiences tend to be highly sensitive to certain issues, “influencers” have to create a sensor border just so they don’t have to worry about getting “canceled.” Audiences have free will to comment anything they want under someones post which can be quite damaging to ones (or a groups) mental health. That made me feel like this world needs more love and compassion for others. Nonetheless, it is a very good app to procrastinate with.
