Is Tic Toc Terrible? Advanced V1

Level Low-Advanced.

Title: Is Tik Tok Terrible?
By Zon Petilla

Pre-reading: As you read circle or write down words you don't know in your textbook. Then, translate each word before reading.

Looking at websites like Youtube, you can find many people do not like the app for various reasons. First, let's define what Tik ToK is. Tik Tok, is a very popular app that kids and teens seem to enjoy. The app works by recording short videos under 8 seconds, being able  to reply to others Tik Tok users and videos, and also allows access to some copy written content. 

As a person who has used both Youtube and Tik Tok, I can honestly say, I see the appeal. Tik Tok is very easy to use. Making videos with different effects like slow motion or 3x the speed, as well as quick editing tools makes it where content creation is so easy, a child can make content.

Tressicle's video titled "The Real Truth of Tik Tok" (1) states that the quality of the content seems very forgettable. First, unlike, Youtube where content is longer, and gives creators a voice, Tik Tok's short videos don't allow content creators to establish who they are and how they are different from other Tik Tok users. This creates a superficial relationship among users. Second, the videos seem to be endless memes. Memes meaning, it's just people copying each other or copying something from pop culture instead of making original content. When combing these 2 points, short video times and copying, Tressicle concludes that most users are just making forgetabel content in the masses instead of making content people will remember or care about. Creating great and unique content is part of the strategy for Youtube users to gain a following of people.

I interject a different point, not as content creator or as someone attempting to gain popularity, but that the app itself is fun. And the social sharing for the normal users is also fun. Most users I believe are not trying to make money and most users seem to be content with small followers. This leads me to consider that Tik Tok is really for amature video creators to get a chance to share small videos. Having kids and teens use the app, gives content creation to a bigger audience even if it's not professional or may not lead to a content creation career. Of course, I'm not addressing safety concerns  as the app is usable by kids, teens and adults as many have pointed out, but feel pretty positive overall.

Kindle and Comixology Kind of Suck

From: My A Group Post on Facebook...
Gary Cohen, thanks for the add, I'll save my formal introduction my next webcomic update...

For now, my name is Zon Petilla and I believe in developing a better internet eco system for creators and readers. One of my friends, as a pure reader, wants to support independents but there are no real DRM alternatives that give readers or creators control over the future of digital reading, trades, etc. She actually has been debating on Comixology or Kindle. The debate steams from: she is a Nook user, and Nook is in the middle of a corperate sell out. So her comics on nook are not accessible and there's no one she knows of working to fix the problem. She bought these comics, but has no control over her digital library. 

In short, Comixology and Amazon's Kindle kind of suck.

It's a strong opinion but please hear me out. For the reader, they don't let us keep backups of the comics we buy. Moreover, they have the ability to remove comics from their servers, and thus remove our access to them. Why do they call it a "Buy" button, it should be called a "rent" button. 

According to my friend Bob Noble: For the creator, you are subject to their software and their policies, which affect pricing and their cut, as larger companies get bigger brakes and deals that we are not privy to. Bob's example is having to sell his music at 9.99 from the UK versus being able to drop the price any lower. This affects him developing a social media campaign to advertise a sale, or give incentives to his fans as a reward for supporting his work. 

We all know, digital is so much more convenient, and simply going back to physical books is going back in tech. A webcomics project by Brian King's inkoutbreak may be the start of a much better comics service based on it's track record. It was started for readers to find creators, and it listen to feedback unlike Amazon.com were everything is super automated. 

Still, inkoutbreak needs a little bit of funding to get a chance to come out of the basement and unto the main street. If you love comics please take a look at this project.
