Oh, TikTok.
I hated it with a vengeance -but I still opened an account in it and put a few videos of me playing. Couldn't figure out how one or two of them would be nine hundred views and others just one or two. Still can't figure it out -I feel there should be a pattern that one should be able to find out but I cannot see one.
Most of the content that TT was offering me seems to be attractive women dancing suggestively with very little clothing on. Now, I'm not averse to see a beautiful woman dancing with little clothing on but it soon gets annoying. Then I found that I'd been missing the whole thing between 'Following' and 'FYP' views -as I started to follow things I was more interested in and switching from the 'For You' to the 'Following' view then lo, lots of things about space science, palaeontology, things like that started to appear. And I found that I had accidentally followed some of the women with little clothing on (it was accidentally, I promise, Your Honour) but most of them just disappeared.
I still can't figure out why some videos get hundreds of views and quite a few likes (alas, never hundreds) whilst others get almost none of either. And I'm yet to get either a pupil or a gig offer out of those views or even a sensible comment. But, I suspect, that is the nature of the beast. So now I still kind of hate it but more like half-heartedly.
