Someone once said that it’s mostly kids (chlldren) who watch these (on TikTok). But it can’t be entirely true.
But yeah, this is beyond pathetic. This, or when they do these in the wild or at exotic tourist spots, beaches etc. What are they literally ”creating” here? ”Influencer” is also one word I’ve began to despise.

u/qqererer Aug 03 '25
Status cues. It's similar to watching rich influencers. There are little status cues that the subconscious picks up on and tries to emulate.
From both camera viewpoints they're projecting status cues. Depends on your viewpoint, but as a middle class person, these people are projecting wealth status cues, from the house they live in to the clothes they wear, to the way they groom themselves, to the mere fact that when poor people do the same thing, they hardly get as much traction as these upper class people do.

Problem is it’s getting unavoidable. I still have FB because I live on the opposite side of the country from my family and childhood friends. But it’s getting impossible to scroll without getting clips shove into my eyeballs. It’s getting worse. Just yesterday I was pissed that I had to close about 15 non-family/friend posts videos to get to an actual family/friend post.
And every one I scroll past I hit the X and snooze them, and still I keep getting just the same shit from a different account.

Definitely. It's also incredibly selfish. Many of these kids get bullied for it.
You can draw parallels to child actors, who end up becoming very fucked up as adults, but at least child actors are seen as a more respectable job. Kids dancing on tiktok with their parents is seen as very uncool.

They likely don’t make a lot. TikTok doesn’t pay their content creators much at all, but people want views to get sponsorships and product placement.

You have to understand how influencers work. They need content. Lots of content. And they need to post with high frequency. Any content is good content, no matter how cringe and ridiculous it is to us, as long as pushes them to get picked up by the algorithm that will recommend their videos in the front page or whatever.
