MICHELLE GROSKOPF/The New York Times/Redux Members of the content creator collective 'Hype House' pictured in the bathroom of their Los Angeles residence. They’re also testing a few different advertising programs and social commerce features that have been available on the Chinese version of the app (all things Vine – TikTok’s likeliest precursor – was resistant to before ultimately shuttering). Meanwhile at TikTok’s brand new five-floor, 400-desk corporate outpost in the same city, the company has begun courting prominent users and recently announced a content creation studio to facilitate lucrative collaborations and brand partnerships (another YouTube-modeled development). In the US, where the company is working to establish a new HQ, most TikTokers are between the ages of 16 and 24: a highly media literate demographic with little to no recollection of a time before online makeup tutorials and video game live streaming.ĭespite the anti-establishment ethos that seems to be shared by many of TikTok’s patrons, specialist talent agencies have already set up shop and laid claim to personalities with large followings, and the platform’s biggest stars have formed collectives based out of Los Angeles mansions (a phenomenon in the tradition of YouTube influencers). Its top 25 accounts, almost all of them run by teenagers, have audiences of 15 to almost 40 million. Despite a slew of highly publicised security and censorship troubles, the app hit one billion downloads in February of last year, overtaking Instagram and Facebook in total downloads. With the visual shorthand of influencer monoculture stripped away, the platform and its community seem unmoored from existing frameworks for monetization.įor the uninitiated: TikTok is a short-form video platform and social media network owned by Chinese tech firm ByteDance. TikTok’s appeal is in the absence of curated aesthetic, and the bathroom provides both a blank canvas and a guise of intimacy. The New York Times has reported on ' the bathroom effect,' with plenty of anecdata to support a theory that TikToks filmed in a bathroom mirror reliably outperform other settings. In many ways, TikTok’s social ecosystem is the antithesis of the Instagram and YouTube spheres of influence, where aspirational lifestyle content has become so shiny that it is sometimes indistinguishable from pure advertising. The most popular videos give off the impression of being executed with little forethought and even less production value. On TikTok, nobody takes themselves too seriously, and memes are a language in their own right. Brands are eager to plant their flag on Planet TikTok, and their pursuit has not been without running commentary, ranging from bemused to alarmist in tone.
