I thought I was the only one who did this!
I think that’s why people started to develop a tiktok-like “voice”. I don’t think it was completely on purpose, likely a subconscious monkey see monkey do kind of thing.
Ah so it’s not just me that thinks all tiktokers are starting to sound the same.
One thing I also noticed is how incredibly fast some people talk on the platform. Most people associate fast talking == lack of confidence in a normal setting, but in the app I’m assuming folks are trying to get their point across as fast as possible because they fear they need to be interesting as soon as possible otherwise someone will swipe away.
I liked the idea of testing out content subjects first in low effort areas first and seeing if they get any natural traction before making a full on video/blog/series about it. I find that I just dive right into the last step before really vetting if the idea is worthwhile.
I always enjoy reading about stories like this, especially when they really get down to it. With how the social media game seems to be changing so much, it's nice to see what still works, or not, or what new things or ideas you can try.
