The interesting thing about Tik Tok is how the video format allows for people to post pure stream of consciousness (even all the content-strategy-minded thought that goes into some of the niches have this). And then re-sharing Tik Toks on a different platform compounds this stream of consciousness with people's comments that are projecting their own inner worlds onto the videos. It becomes a quasi-Jungian soup jumble of symbols and archetypes clashing and vying for attention.
If you ever start a paid Substack, it could be a good place for the more sensitive posts you’ve said would be unethical to share on your main account. I doubt you're interested in monetization, but the audience on the other side of the paywall would likely be smaller, more aligned with the broader interest you have with your curation, and would exclude the types of users who come across your posts that are prone to the WomenPostingTheirL brand of vitriol that sometimes hijacks your work. Just a thought , big fan of the current content
I’m glad I visited your sub stack Bc I do very much enjoy the way you post tik toks, but I do become sad when many of the comments often devolve into misogyny over and over again. I was worried that I was engaging with someone who was purposefully trying to fuel that.
