A thing about TikTok that not everyone will admit to is that a lot of it is incredibly dull. When every wannabe influencer is vlogging their daily life, sharing anodyne opinions, or broadcasting what they eat in a day, they can all start to blend into one. While it doesn't stop some of them from getting millions of views, not everybody is a fan of this overly polished documentation. 

This has been a recent topic of discussion on Twitter, where one influencer has attracted a lot of attention for a video that shows him taking a trip to Target. When one viewer jumped in to criticize him and others for "posting like female teenagers", it kickstarted a detailed discussion over the spectacle of day-in-the-life content. There is a lot of money in being boring for an audience, if you know how to do it in a way that the algorithm likes.

    Font - Dénola Grey @DenolaGrey 5d I'll never get takes like this. Someone wanted to put content out because it made him feel good. He shared it with HIS community of followers and then out of nowhere. You repost his work, and then tweet a veiled misogynistic take on his content. You could just.. ignore?

    Font - @thetxtreasure . 6d My agency and client have paid some content creators $75K for content like this. Then GRWM and Weekend Recap videos y'all see can make you anywhere between $20k - $100K+ (depending on your following and engagement). Bust out them tripods y'all.

    Font - Boss & CEO @iamtycole 6d Two of my best friends set up their tripods and have pocketed up to $15,000 off with ONE brand. They now have loads of brand deals. Getting that amount of money and more just to be photographed overseas at fashion shows, creating content, etc. So.... yeah.
