@FanAkko People used to listen to the music on compilations, even if it was just whatever the radio was playing. TikTok music is just background music to the video. The music itself is secondary and only serves to advance the video. A tiktokker wouldn't listen to a TikTok song in full.
@darkmaganeto777@sadreturns Popular music compilations aren't exclusive to a format. They have these on tape, CD, vinyl, streaming, digital sales, whatever.
@nealjclark1 In 20 years they'll make a three hour slice of life movie set in 2025 where half of it is just scrolling on TikTok and half of it is going to the matcha shop, having a Dubai chocolate, looking for a rare Labubu, washing a Stanley cup
@loserbent For the consumer it's all down to luck. The price doesn't really influences whether those most in need get the supplies in a disaster.
If they don't hike the prices, the people closest to the store get the supplies.
If they hike the prices, the richest guys get the supplies.
@LibertarianZA If the lounge guys and the restaurant guys are enjoying themselves then the overall misery of the airport has decreased. A win for travellers of all classes.
@mattrum91@GremlinIndustry Doing this to books is entirely a TikTok induced phenomenon. TikTok is a visual medium so the only way to show you read books is to draw in them. It's also inadvertent ragebait and the rage comments make these videos trend in the algorithm, which makes even more TikTokers do it.
@BorjomiDrinker That's because the US consumer stopped buying cheap cars. The Yaris, Mazda 2, Honda Fit, Kia Rio all got discontinued in the states because consumers prefer more expensive cars
@TheCornCobbler The most listened to song from every artist now is a song that went viral on TikTok because it's the backing track to a video where a labubu eats a Dubai chocolate
@ShadowGTP@Anubhavhing@minordissent The rate varies from country to country. South Africa recycled 28% of its plastic into other stuff in 2024.
I guess in richer countries the rate will be lower because they can afford to use new plastic every time.

@j_nthato@iamkoshiek No, wealthy business people. They should be buying property in Johannesburg, the nation's capital.
Instead, because Cape Town is the only SA city with working water and electricity infrastructure, they buy exclusively in Cape Town instead, raising the property prices.
@j_nthato@iamkoshiek Johannesburg needs to start working again to take some of the load. Foreigners are all flocking to Cape Town which inflates the prices here and drops the prices in Joburg. It used to be more balanced.
