TikTok is considered to be a revolutionary technology with algorithms that power its "For You" feed. It has changed the way people become famous online.
The ability of new creators to get a lot of views very quickly—and the ease with which users can discover so many kinds of content—have contributed to the app’s stunning growth. Other social media companies are now trying to reproduce these features on their own apps.
There are many ideas about how the TikTok showcasing algorithm works. Is it hashtags or no hashtags? Is it text on your video or no text? And so on.
And then the drive to be famous must mean you make a lot of money. Here are the high-earning TikTokers:
Addison Rae: $5 million.
Charli D'Amelio: $4 million.
Dixie D'Amelio: $2.9 million.
Loren Gray: $2.6 million.
Josh Richards: $1.5 million.
Michael Le: $1.2 million.
Spencer X: $1.2 million.
Addison Rae is 20 years old, Charli D'Amelio is 17 years - according to Google. So I guess that explains the mass drive of young people to become TikTok famous. The algorithm is a lottery and can catapult a post to fame in a moment. This is the stuff that young people dream of - becoming famous in a flash. Stars like Addison Rae have been at the 'show business' game for years and started competing in dance competitions at the age of 6. Dreaming, though, is a great activity for the young. I expect TikTok to be around for a while.
Here's a picture of Millie from last week. I assume it is the camera clicking noise that bothers her - she often has this expression for the camera. It does show off the Cavalier eyebrows. There's no mistaking her accusing look of irritation here.
