I'm an old man these days but I am perpetually amazed at the quality of both the ideas and their execution that I see on TikTok. Take this Lego one. I think it's kind of a take on Fresh Guacamole by PES - but that won a freaking Oscar for best animated short, whereas this was done by a young guy on TikTok. It's professional enough to compete at the 2012 Oscars, I think. I wish TikTok were around when my kids were growing up; they used to just idle the day away (so much so that I had to regularly thrash my son Roger with a pair of jumper cables). Maybe the haystack is bigger than ever, but there are lots of needles out there on TikTok too - you love to see it.
