Vine vs Tik Tok
Some of you might call me a boomer here, since the new norm is to label someone old who has a slightly different view than you, but Tik Tok has to be the dumbest app to get any entertainment from since the invention of short form comedy...and i mean shorter than 15 minutes.
Back when Vine was the in thing, i tried becoming the first brony viner. I got dunked on hardcore by critics and bronies a like.
"random doesnt equal funny"
"theres gotta be a theme, no one likes randomness"
"filters arent funny"
etc
So i ignored the criticism, not haters. Disliking a medium for a reason doesnt make you hater. That term has since been botched as Most people call anyone who gives them criticism haters. Not a millennial thing as peeps my age always do it despite their age. Ignored the critiques and continued doing mlp themes vines til Vine itself was shut down.
Fast Forward a month or two and all i see on Tik Tok are people doing exactly what i did.
One video i would do is high pitched voices. No one cared despite me pulling in over 500 views. On Tik Tok some reject is doing the same thing but with a shark puppet.
A few videos I deleted because of hate was me messing with filters. Literally half of the tik tokkers who are "famous" are using filters. Like, theres a little kid using the wide faced filter and he pulls in thousands of views with hateful comedy. (comedy that makes fun of a race or gender in a non self-deprecating way)
So either i was before my time, or the time i was waiting for was a time full of people who get laughs from almost nothing.
