Hype House, the physical location of a new content creator collective, is a Spanish-style mansion perched at the top of a hill on a gated street in Los Angeles. It has a palatial backyard, a pool and enormous kitchen, dining and living quarters.Four of the group’s 19 members live in the house full time; several others keep rooms to crash in when they are in town. And all day long, a stream of influential young internet stars come by to pay homage to the new guard.Hype House was formed in December by some of TikTok’s most talked-about stars. They introduced themselves with a Backstreet Boys-esque photo shoot, and within minutes #hypehouse began trending; videos including the hashtag #hypehouse have accrued nearly 100 million views on TikTok.The group handle that distributes their content surpassed 3 million followers on TikTok in just over a week and a half. In the days leading up to Christmas it was all anyone under the age of 18 on TikTok seemed to be talking about.

So how do you get rich off this ish. Maybe ILX can put together a bankable collective.
― papa stank (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 00:36 (four years ago) link
all the tik toks i like are not the ones that are making these kids rich.

that one is good.
i downloaded it to see what tiktok was. used it for a few hours then deleted it.
considering deleting my insta too. then i'll only be on 2 things owned by zuck (whatsapp and fb messenger)
― bidenfan69420 (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 00:39 (four years ago) link
you generally have to be 15-20 to get rich off this ish. no ilxor stands a chance unless they exploit their own 15-20-year-old children (or I guess cute cats/toddlers) or play up the "crazy out-of-touch old person who hilarious misunderstands the way tiktok works" angle

I love not being on instagram but some of my friends end up sending me screenshots of some instagram posts and force feeding me it that way.

In leaked documents, TikTok told moderators to suppress posts by “ugly” people and the poor to attract new users. https://t.co/AJxbmIzsKJ— The Intercept (@theintercept) March 16, 2020

Makes you absolutely despair for gen z.
The idea of gen z being super-woke also seems ultra dumb when you see how popular pizzagate content is on the app

the hell is “triller”

spotify is promoting a 'triller' playlist which appears to be songs that feature heavily on..... this app, called 'triller', which is a tiktok clone
confused because i expected the playlist to have something to do with southern rap, where the word 'trill' comes from i.e. trill recognize trill etc
further confused because this app appears to literally be a tiktok clone - why do we need two of the same thing?? why are celebrities on trill?? str8 up $$$ for promo i guess?

So as far as I can tell, this kind of TikTok is mostly about cute white kids dancing and mouthing the n-word?

i am wondering if we need a thread for the tiktok maybe a commune/maybe a cult in Lafayette Tennesseehere's a whole thread of videos
These vids from Milo are the best I’ve seen so far in terms of data/analysis of the tik tok commune/cult. If anything actually interesting happens I’ll thread from here. https://t.co/Ldmvsp0a5g— Kiki Rosecrans (@KikiRosecrans) March 5, 2021

one of my saddest pastimes is following a tiktoker's career arc when one of their videos goes viral and it slowly dawns on them that the tiktok viewing public is only really interested in that one joke/concept/meme and has almost zero interest in the rest of their content. ex:
➡my neighbors keep freaking out because Mumbles looks like she's dead when she's sleeping (9.1M views)➡Floofington doesn't want to be sheared (21.2K views)➡Mumbles the carcass strikes again! 👻🐎😜 (5.6M views)➡Quick lil barnyard tour (3.4K views)➡answer to @nedraggett "why dont you put a sign on mupples back that says im alive?" (994K views)➡Support your local family-owned farms (687 views)➡It's here! Mumbles the Undead Horse MERCH link in bio (102K views)➡NAUGHTY HORSE CARCASS PT. 3 (648K views)
all these 30+-year-old professionals/hobbyists who realize they aren't cut out for the traditional influencer path and are just hoping that their viral success will boost their profiles within their little niches (farmtok? realestatetok?) — but it rarely plays out that way because they aren't reaching their target demographics, they're reaching dumbass laymen like me who are only in it for 60 seconds of mildly amusing content and maybe a brief follow-up on the original viral tiktok. nothing's more disappointing for an internet content creator than the realization that they've become the curator of a dead meme, but it's hard to keep yourself from beating the dead horse when you still have a slim hope of making it big
(but it's tough to feel any pity for douchebags/scammers like that #househacking guy Tracer linked to)
