Ciao Steemians!

Willy-nilly we live in the social networks era, these "tools" creep into our lives and in some cases even condition them. Now almost everyone has a Facebook account, who doesn't love it because full of spam and useless speeches or other sore points is probably dedicated himself to Instagram, simpler and faster with pictures or short videos or to stay on the subject of speed I'd also mention Twitter.

Sooner or later both will come to an inevitable end, nothing lasts forever, especially when it comes to the Internet & technologies, some of these social networks are meteors destined to be forgotten pretty fast.

Teenagers grown up with this type of culture, are very used to the changes, unlike the older ones, which are a bit more nostalgic, I remember when there was the MySpace boom, it seemed destined to last forever, instead after a few years FB got the best and lately I also see many elderly people who are starting to become familiar with smartphones have a profile on Zuckerberg's social media and some of them treat almost maniacally.

A society slave of notifications, fake news, tweets and money. We Steemians know something about it, there are those who would be willing to do anything to have some upvotes and, aside from the purely ethical question, if we are here we cannot hide the fact that the primordial objective was that one, notoriety and friendships are only consequences.

So then there is someone very smart who is taking their cue from Crypts, joining a classic social to profit can attract a lot of people, here it comes TIKTOK, directly from China, born in 2016, seems to have arrived to us in Europe few years later, more and more people are using it and can now make money thanks to the affiliate links of this application.

I downloaded it almost accidentally few days ago, I heard about it from some friend but I didn't go deeper, at first look seems like an Instagram with only short videos of any kind, you can change the original audio, there are video effects and you can find a little bit of everything, my first impression and it seems like a competition to those who manage to publish the most original video possible to increase followers and views.

Easy, intuitive and fast, they have focused on accessibility, anyone who knows how to handle a smartphone decently is able to create contents there.

How long will it last? Where will it arrive? These are some of the questions that I almost always ask myself when I discover new things in the technological field, answers to which it is really difficult to answer with certainty, we just have to wait and wait to see what will happen.

In case you are interested in subscribing to the social network you can also follow me there, my nickname is always the same, if you then need information on how to proceed regarding earning via an affiliate link I will be more than willing to help you out, please send a PM on Discord or TG or in the comments below!
