TikTok creativity

Dave Truss, Daily-Ink, Sept 03, 2020

Some of the most original online work these days is appearing on TikTok (which probably explains better than 'China' why some people want it shut down, what with its user campaigns and such). This short post links to a few highlights (TikTok is mostly a mobile application, and has recently become more insistent on viewers logging in, but you can still see individual snippets in a browser). Dave Truss comments, "What I find interesting is that much of this original work is inspired by a copy culture… a sharing and expanding of creative ideas. Sometimes this is just blatant copying. Sometimes it's copying with a very creative adaptation, and sometimes it's just pure parody for a laugh." Eventually 'creators' will get sensitive about 'ownership' and they'll wreck it. But for now, it's great. Image: TikTok.
