Since March I've mostly been self-isolating & shielding, I thought the lockdown would be difficult for me as I live on my own and apart from a TV didn't have much else to do. However, I discovered TikTok and it's really been a life saver for me. It's a great App (developed by the Chinese company Dance Bytes) where you can literally spend hours scrolling random 15 second or 60 second videos, the app very quickly knows the kind of content that you will like, everyone has a FYP (For You Page) so if you watch a video and follow the creator and click on Like then the algorithm will find similar content to send your way. Originally, most of the videos were of young people dancing and lip syncing to music! There's a search / discovery option so you can save all the things you're into for example Dr Who, Scifi, Cosplay, Supercars, Autism, Mental Health, BLM, news, pranks, exercise, fitness the list goes on and on... they have over 800 million users around the world including about 20 million in America although Trump has signed an executive order to have it banned unless it can be sold to an American company by 15th September. It's interesting to watch videos that people all around the world have made, you get to find out a lot about how people live and the problems they encounter, it make the world a smaller place. As an autistic adult watching Tiktok videos is now a big part of my daily routine, I suffer a lot from stress and anxiety and it helps me relax, but be warmed it can be addictive! I haven't said anything about actually creating your own videos because I haven't done that yet, maybe a creator on this forum would like to comment. One great creator to connect with is Dan Morgan Jones of The Aspie World @theaspieworld his content is always inspirational but usually leaves me exhausted after watching his videos on Youtube!
A lot of people discovered TikTok during the lockdown. I actually have found several websites where you can virtually walk around the ancient pyramids of Egypt. I also found a few decent radio stations, which were great companions in my life during the pandemic. But most of all I worked on developing my sister's sm account. Yes, on TikTok. I got to learn a lot about working at [link deleted by mod] and now I know exactly how it works. Guys, if you really want to get famous on this social media platform, stop doing nonsense. You'll only have it when you start investing in your development.
