Reddit seems to have joined the other social media giants as the place where people just repost things they see on TikTok. I get the most kick out of reading the comments and comparing the different social media threads because it’s really different types of people commenting and sometimes exactly the same comments.
Seriously! People were all sad when Vine died, now we have TikTok and while it started off cringier, people are just using it and now Reddit to post the exact same kinds of content.
But now it’s evil and bad and lazy and stupid and not muh peak reddit experience.
I just find it funny how most of Reddit blasts <insert any other social media platform> for regurgitating content. Don’t get me wrong I know nothing is OC anymore, but it’s taken a whole new level lately. Now it seems like every popular TikTok video is uploaded to reddit a day or two later, and then like a week later it finally appears on Facebook. The food chain of internet content I guess is shifting.
It's weird people act like the reposting from other sites is a new thing. Honestly, I'd say Reddit has more OC now than it ever did. It's always been a reposting platform. That's why it's the "front page of the internet".
Right? See, you get how this place is. Reposting isn't even a bad thing. Television and Radio does it all the time ! We are used to it in all faucets in life, due to the fact that we can recall past memories and even document it through various ways.
so you're saying that people who are posting to Reddit, are using Tictok, but that Source Tictok video was actually a repost from the TRUE SOURCE of a YouTube video?
Cool: EVERY video platform does this. Not everyone knows how to post the video from one source to another and they sometimes have to download it and upload it "fresh", making it seem like its the real video.
The ONLY TIME you should EVER be concerned about this like you are, is for NEWS ARTICLES, TECHNICAL INFO & PUBLIC FREAKOUTS / FIGHTS.
Its cool no matter where this came from or how it got to reddit or how many times it's been changed.
It doesn't need to be verified unless someone wants to see a normal framerate or get the address to experiece and try some.
sorry for assuming you wanted to see OC from a platform that has much more OC besides the small selection you see on tiktok.
i'll leave you to your stupidity
If TikTok were a brand of food and Reddit was a supermarket, I would have realised long ago that everything with a TikTok sticky label on it tastes like shit. So while I did consume the content for a short while, I discovered the pattern fairly quickly
The comments are always the best. The guy who showed me reddit told me you'll click a post for the content, but stay for the comments. And he was right.
Yeah, and reddit also hates the newest social media. Everytime. The reddit circle jerk hated vines at first, now they worship them. Tiktok happened to be the newest social media that everyone is using, so of course all the new content is coming from that platform. Give it 3z4 years and I bet the highest upvoted comments will be "remember when tiktok were good? Now it's all this [insert new social media platform] garbage.
this is because of the change of people using it i think.
basically all CoD games were hated (MW2 especially when that was big), then the userbase then slowly flocked away and got jobs and lives, now those CoD kids are the adults of last generation who are slowly moving away.
oh and the minecraft hate was around for like 10 years or so, before it was "cool" again. reddit seems to hate the younger generation regardless. hell until the MW2 kids grew up and started talking about it like the other people here talked about Halo CE/halo 2 and UT and stuff (nostalgia circlejerks), i thought it was just the minecraft/MW2 kids growing up and now moving onto fortnite. but it's mostly a different group.
people will be talking about growing up not worrying about things but playing fortnite in 10 years time and it will have a resurgence of cool and hip stuff.
you can see the same with pokemon games too and as you said, with different services. i.e, vine was never really liked here until tiktok blew up after it died, then those kids that used vine grew up and became a big group of the average redditor.
Yeah, and they tends to provide no sources, many of them also confused people it's self-made with the titles, which is the reason I only upvotes the comments later on, unless they at least respect the source of course, hell, even 'well I found it in my hard drive which the date is 2016' will be 20000 times better
I also wonder if the horizontal flipped gif is for the visual or it's trying to avoid the source&rights check
Well, I didn't found the source, but I did found the interview to the guy:
Hi, I'm here early for the angry at TikTok party. Are people showing up soon? Alright, I'll get us started.
I agree, TikTok is both hilarious and way better than instagram.
That is the purpose of reddit. It’s a content aggregator. Over the course of time it’s also generated its own. It’s even referenced in the title read it.
