Questions and Answers

i’m curious…what are your thoughts on tiktok, mister?

I haven’t had any. The last time I looked at it, it was still musical.ly, and my eyes glazed over quickly. But to answer this question, I installed the app and went exploring for about 45 minutes. And I have the following thoughts:

  • TikTok’s better than Vine was… six seconds isn’t enough.
  • GenZ culture is gonna be a complete *bitch* for historians to unpack. It’s a hamster wheel of constant motion and minimal momentum… they’re going to need AI text and photo analysis just to wrap their arms around the sheer volume of what’s being created.
  • The world is full of talented people, if you only look at them in twenty second increments.
