      You can say the same about the whole entertainment industry then. You just prefer other things than short form, visual content.

              No, they did not. All I saw was a statement that people making a living on sites like TikTok or YouTube are also part of the entertainment industry. Which is just a fact. Whether you like short form content on these sites or not doesn’t change that fact.

                Your facts are yours only, and laughable too. Get a job, something that is the tiniest bit useful. But filling the internet with your inane thoughts is definitely not a job, nor does it belong in a forum dedicated to technology. The mere “fact” that any moron can pretend to have a job by putting 30 seconds videos in the latest fad is disgusting and unworthy of humanity.

                Woops, I already spent more time answering your post than those idiots have spent filming themselves spewing what idiotic thoughts came out of their brains. Am I an influencer now?

                  You aren’t making any money from it, so, no.

                  Like it or not, people make a living doing this.

                    I know. The tiktok ban may fix that for some time hopefully.

      what’s with this curmudgeon type shit? their livelihood is at risk. just because you’re not part of the ecosystem doesn’t mean you need to dismiss a way to make money thats worked for quite a few people.

          this is a social media app that creators can make videos on. i think you’re overreacting just a bit, man.

          its not the end of the world. people making content that people enjoy on a video app isn’t going to ruin the youth.

          relax.

          Spreading information benefits humanity.

          Showing someone how to cook a recipe benefits humanity.

          Informing people about things that are happening benefits humanity.

          Telling your story, and letting others learn from it benefits humanity.

          Entertaining people, even just for a moment benifits humanity.

        Their livelihoods are only at risk because they ignored the cards for the previous five years. If you’re living in the US, and haven’t spread your content out to other platforms by now, you are in that situation because of your own inaction. I refuse to sympathize with people who aren’t capable of simple logic.

        They should make a better tiktok: 5 seconds videos, it will be more insightful, and a gift to humanity… Or maybe 1 seconds videos because they will concentrate their talents. But god forbid they find a real job, that would be exhausting.

          How do you feel about content like this? It’s long form, informative, and hobbyist.

          Or this guy who generates customer leads to his interior design business?

      If it pays the bills for those people, what difference does it make? Other than “me no likey”, that is?
