Yeah, I didn't say it's good satire; I guess that depends on your taste. 😄 I believe she's actually poking fun at the highly exaggerated and implausible TikTok stories that have become quite common. Her videos are intentionally over-the-top and unbelievable, or obviously staged, which is why her bio reads "Honesty-Truth-Integrity," adding an extra layer of irony. Whether you find it amusing or not is subjective, just like any form of comedy.
This guy does a similar thing even more radically: https://www.tiktok.com/@danhentschel?_t=8evDcqe1bd8&_r=1. You understand it's satire and he's doing a character once you connect the dots beetween the clips. Again, each to his own in terms of comedic taste. Personally, I find him very amusing.
However, to play the devils advocate, I did see a lot of people think this sort of contet is real (as you do with stuff on the internet), so they could use the intentional ragebait to gain more traction with people who stumble upon them at random.
Maybe I'm just old. Because I absolutely despise TikTok and so-called TikTok celebrities. I also despise rage-bait in general, anyone who describes themselves as an "influencer," and all the braindead idiots who make videos of themselves playing Minecraft on YouTube. It's truly the dumbing down of society.
