This is a thread to discuss TikTok and people known as "TikTokers" on the app. The reason I am making this thread is because I want to discuss how ridiculous it is that there are people who are "famous" for just lip syncing and dancing (not professionally) to songs.
There is a house called "The Hype House" that a number of famous TikTokers live in (like the Team 10 house or Clout House). Do these kids go to school? Are some of them even old enough to be living on their own?
Here is an article about the house: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/03/styl ... k-tok.html
Lastly, a lot of the "TikTokers" seem like average people. For example, one of the most popular on the app is a girl named Charli D'Amelio. After watching videos of her and reading up on her, seems like your typical average norml teenager...yet is insanely popular on TikTok why? Not just her but...why are any of these TikTokers famous?

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
I read that article about Hype House. The way I understand it is that she makes up dances that other people think are cool and want to copy.jwishy wrote:Yes I don’t understand how Charli is so famous?!

Maybe I'm wrong, but that was the impression that the article gave. She has only been on the platform since summer of 2019! Her parents actually seem to have more on the ball than say, Katie and Billy. I guess because she is the driving force behind it, not mom or dad picking up a camera and making the kids perform like dancing monkeys.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
This site has been a bit laggy for me today.
Has anyone else been getting tiktoks of teens who are pregnant in their fyp? I saw one with a girl that was 17 saying “I don’t care what you think.” Or something along those lines. I remember thinking, “Good for you I guess...not sure if I would brag about something like that, but you do you.”

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
I work for a popular network and the talk is that Charli's parents purchased her tiktok fame. I guess they have a lot of money and her dad is some big political guy. Huge trump supporters and actually have donated a lot of money to trump.

That really is.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
I don't want to be one of those people who is like "teens today are on their phones too much" or "teens today are too engrossed in technology" because I'd be calling out myself in the process, but...I think some teens today (aka The Hype House TikTokers) just care too much about their image on the internet. There's that old stereotype that sorority girls and frat boys are dumb people who care more about appearance and the social scene than their education and just being themselves (I'm not saying that's true, just using it as an example). I see that with TikTokers. There have always been "popular kids" in school and life long before this social media phenomenon began, but this seems like a whole another level of that.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
Charli damelio went to the same dance studio as me when we were younger. she always wanted to be famous and quite honestly, I don’t think she cared in what way that happened. she definitely did not gain that attention naturally considering no one gains 700000 followers overnight. as far as I know, she goes to a private school a few towns over that’s $45000 a year and she frequently misses a school to go to things like famous birthdays and the hype house. my dance teacher now teaches at her new studio and said she has never once showed up to ballet class this year, probably because she’s too busy lip syncing.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
most of the “famous” tiktokers don’t even go to school, like what the hell are they gonna do once tiktok dies? They will just become irrelevant and most likely wont have a backup plan for their future

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
At least YouTubers have YouTube (aka content creator) to put on a resume but...what can these TikTokers put on their resume? Lip syncing to songs? I also don't understand how parents are okay with their child not attending school. Yeah, these kids/teens are "famous" but they are only TikTok famous, 99% of the world has no idea who they are (or likely what TikTok is).

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
It's kinda hard to tell because there's barely any content from them together online other than tiktoks but I feel like Charli D'amelio and Chase Hudson are faking this relationship lmao. They probably want to be an iconic internet ship/couple to become even more famous. Also Chase is almost 18 and I feel like at that age I wouldn't have dated a 15 yo, it might just be 3 years but it's a big mentality gap when you're a teen.
I wouldn't be surprised if a % of Charli's fame was bought and fabricated. The overall popularity of the app is fishy to me and makes me wonder if the numbers aren't somehow tweaked. Idk. There's always been something off about it, when the app first launched as musically all the big youtubers promoted it, even the ones that very rarely do sponsors so it must have been huge amount invested in that app.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
A bunch of TikTokers (namely the D'Amelio girls) are at the All-Star festivities in Chicago...why? Why do these talentless people get these cool opportunities? I can think of many others more deserving to be given the opportunity to go to events like the all-star festivities but they give them to TikTokers?

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
I don't know what the parents are thinking. Do they all have dollar signs in their eyes? Do they all think their kids are the next Shawn Mendes or Justin Bieber? I really don't understand saying "Wow, you're making a ton of money doing these short little videos lip synching and dancing. Go ahead and quit school!" #parentinggoals right there.ItsAndrew wrote:At least YouTubers have YouTube (aka content creator) to put on a resume but...what can these TikTokers put on their resume?

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
Daisy posted a video on her YouTube channel exposing the hype house (not everyone just Thomas and Chase) It was just posted not too long ago so there isn’t any response from any hype house members on tiktok or YouTube just some tweets and Instagram stories saying “lies” and shit like that. The main thing is that Daisy never received the credit she thought she deserved for being a founder of the hype house. She said she spoke to Thomas about it many times but he just kept telling her what she wanted to hear then continued to not give her credit. The down payment for the hype house was $46000 and Daisy put in $18000 while Thomas and other members only had $5000 to put in. She says Thomas is extremely controlling and manipulative which most viewers have kinda figured out by now.
Kouvr posted a screenshot of texts with Daisy where Daisy is basically telling Kouvr to stop leaving her laundry in the washing machine and they bicker and daisy says something like “you’re only known for being Alex’s girlfriend”. I guess Kouvr posted them because Daisy is the more aggressive one in the screenshots so she thought it made her look bad. Whether Daisy was blunt or not that is disrespectful to leave your clothes in the washing machine for a long time when you share with other people and Kouvr IS just known for being Alex’s girlfriend lol. Kouvr’s comments on the screenshots were along the lines of “Daisy is degrading to other women”.
Daisy’s friend Abby then posted screenshots on her story (she isn’t involved at all but Daisy said she isn’t responding to any responses to her video she wanted to put her side of things out there and leave it at that). Abby shows the rest of the text convo with Kouvr and it’s mainly bickering about Kouvr being messy and Daisy not being involved enough with the hype house because she’s not home a lot. Daisy says all Kouvr does is lay in bed all day while she (Daisy) actually goes and does stuff for her career everyday and works. Kouvr and Alex post tiktoks all the time about how they’re up until 4-5am every night so it’s likely true Kouvr lays in bed all day and Daisy just bought a house so clearly she has been working to be able to afford that. Kouvr responds to the “you’re only known for being Alex’s gf” comment by said Daisy is only known for being provocative and showing her ass and tits all the time and says she (Kouvr) has more self respect than that. Abby commented on the hypocrisy that Kouvr said Daisy degraded women when Kouvr was out here body shaming Daisy.
Since Daisy made the first move with the exposing she has an upper hand and I checked Thomas, Kouvr, and Chases most recent tiktoks and there are lots of comments addressing the Daisy situation and people are on Daisy’s side. I don’t have any personal opinions about Daisy but she seemed very genuine in her video. I’m kinda worried for her because regardless of what the truths are Thomas is definitely malicious and manipulative so he will definitely fire back at Daisy and do it using lies and manipulation. I don’t think Daisy is doing this for clout and I think she will have to comment on this again because Thomas is definitely about to do some fucked up shit.

Re: TikTok/TikTokers
Does anyone have any idea what happened between Sarah Graysun and Noah Schnacky? The two always denied they were dating but they were together a ton. Now all of a sudden they are never together and alot of her fans are saying he is dead to them.

Lol this is funny because I saw a story on Snapchat the other day about dixie’s biggest controversies or whatever and one of them was a pic of a bedroom wall with trump pence posters hung on them and the quote said that she claimed that wasn’t her bedroom and her parents let her and sis have their own individual political beliefs. Anyone able to put a number on how much her parents have donated to trump’s campaign?
