Today on TikTok...

I see a lot of times people ask where kids are online and how to engage us properly and things like that. If you aren't keeping up on trends and all it is probably really hard to figure out. I rather felt I would make this post and from time to time update it with what is currently popular on TikTok. This probably only really works if you are interested in TikTok interactions with girls close to my age and and all of that sort of thing. Though it will also be fine for other age groups probably you likely need to find other ways to expand for that.

Anyway, currently the popular thing is a face swap trend. To do it you basically download Face App, and make sure you have a good selfie in your gallery. Open Face App up, do a face swap, and pick the selfie. Save it, then do it again using the same pic. Do this like 15 times, then use the swapped face to do a quick video for the challenge. It will make your face a weird morphed version of your own because you kept face swapping yourself with a pic of yourself.

That is pretty much it. Do a video, and look around and view others who did them too. Then see what they're talking about and start following along.

I've seen this actually! It's pretty interesting to see what AI imagines us to look like haha.
Trends are always a good way to connect with children! Be trendy, be funny, make them laugh.

Sooo TikTok is still a thing? It's been around for like five years now. Getting a bit long in the tooth, isn't it?. Should I update my Myspace profile? Ugh, I just can't keep up...

Oh, and thank you DoJ. It is nice of you to help us be a little bit less square. I appreciate it.

Yes it is still a thing, a pretty big and influential thing... I've personally never downloaded the app, but the video style infiltrates your life no matter what.
But even though I resisted it for so long, if there's one thing that's gonna make me download it and get into it, that'd be little girls so, I'll think about the idea

Wow, thanks for making me feel so old. I mean, I have been resisting TikTok... I have also been resisting Twitter for as long as I can remember.

But honestly this actually sounds really cool. All the recent AI stuff is pretty remarkable. I don't know if the youth honestly appreciate how incredible this software actually is. For me, it's almost like a James Cameron dystopian nightmare come-true where Skynet is poised to take over the Earth, but for them I feel like it's kind of just What is Supposed to Happen and that the algorithmic truths to it aren't really fully appreciated.

It's ok to resist Twitter...it sucks and is Boomertech. TikTok though is like the center of the teen universe online. And no most of us don't really see it as anything but the way the internet is. There are constantly new filters and effects and it all just seems....ionno....like the way it was meant to be. There are other AI things that are attached to it that I probably shouldn't say a ton on so it won't get anyone into serious trouble if they try to go do it and get arrested but there are tools specifically for doing pedo related things on TikTok and Youtube. Like AI apps for search and things. I constantly get stuff from guys that use them and have actually seen boys at school running them looking for girls.

To me though all of that is just part of having a phone.

I have not seen this yet but I'm sure I will soon. My granddaughter would be on TikTok 24/7 if she could. Mostly she likes to dance with the TikTok videos.

As someone who stayed the whole afternoon yesterday with 5th and 6th grade kids in a kind of dance/karaoke mini-party at school as a host, I can say - yes the little ones are absolutely all about TikTok, it made me feel old. Times have surely changed at my old school.
Now even I am considering making one and getting a lil famous just so I can get in contact with more little girls xD

So far, all I have found on TikTok is older slags with way too much makeup trying to drive me to their FansOnly pages. It seems like a real time sink, honestly. I could search for hours on that app and it ends up being kind of depressing. I have never been good in social situations and that ineptitude seems to cross over to the social media realm as well. Here is a transcript of all of my transactions:

"Hi"
"Hi"
"How old r u?"
"4x"
....

Maybe there is the thing. If you want TikTok to get you teens you have to not think in BoomerTech terms. The thing is to just start doing challenges. Like trending challenges. Face swaps and dances are big. It will be dumb and humiliating but if you keep doing it and look like you're laughing at how silly the entire thing is you'll get people following you. Eventually you'll have teens interacting with you instead of looking for them. There are other routes if you're after certain specific types. Like if you want E-Girls nobody is going to think twice about joining the crowd of guys that simp for E-Girls on there. Start following girls that do fit reveals and gush over them. There will be tons of other guys doing the same. Just flow in with the crowd.

Once you get an idea of how it feels and where it is going then you can find more trends and groups to move with. It just takes some time and compared to forums or Discord or even stuff like FB you'll find TikTok seems like chaos. But you have to do videos of trending things even if you think they suck or the videos are embarrassing.
