And it’s not just the kids.

The majority of us adults are too, with us posting every inch of our lives on these apps and communicating with others through them solely.

It’s not just about funny videos though.

People can actually earn a living through social media, such as selling things on Instagram or starting a business through Twitter.

But there are some apps that aren’t so productive…

And TikTok is one of them!

What is TikTok?

Basically, it is an iOS and Android app made for creating and sharing short lip-sync, comedy, and talent videos.

It went viral pretty quick

It was the world’s fourth most downloaded app in 2018, beating Instagram and Snapchat – which is a pretty big achievement!

It reminds many people of Vine.

Who remembers Vine? Launched in 2012, Vine was a short-form video hosting service that allowed users to share 6-second-long looping video clips.

And TikTok videos are similarly weird.

But it has to be said, the majority of them are rather entertaining.

Some are just plain weird…

It’s a mystery as to what goes through people’s heads when certain types of TikTok videos are made…

And of course, who could forget the pranks on Tiktok…

People love to film themselves pranking others and share it online.

However, it’s not just TikTok that brings viral content to the world.

In the digital age, the power of the internet has given rise to a new cultural phenomenon – the viral moment.

advertisement

Whether it’s a funny video, an emotional story, or a powerful message, these moments have the ability to capture the attention of millions across the globe, transcending borders, languages, and cultures.

At the heart of every viral moment lies remarkable content. It could be something humorous, heartwarming, shocking, or awe-inspiring.

advertisement

Videos, images, memes, tweets, and challenges are some of the most common forms of viral content. The brevity of these formats often makes them easily shareable across various social media platforms.

Emotions also play a pivotal role in the spread of viral moments. Content that elicits strong emotions, such as laughter, sadness, anger, or inspiration, is more likely to be shared.

When users resonate with a particular emotion, they tend to express it by forwarding the content to their friends, family, and followers, effectively creating a chain reaction.

Social media platforms act as a catalyst for the propagation of viral moments. The interconnectedness of these platforms allows content to spread rapidly.

Algorithms employed by platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram further amplify content by prioritizing highly engaging posts, ensuring they reach a wider audience.

Viral moments are also often a reflection of the current cultural zeitgeist.

People enjoy sharing content that feels relevant and relatable to their lives, creating a sense of community around shared experiences.

Timing is everything when it comes to viral moments. An event or content may not become viral if it’s shared too early or too late.

Often, a perfect combination of timing and synchronicity results in the explosion of a viral moment. It can be influenced by current events, trends, or simply being in the right place at the right time.

Viral moments represent the dynamic nature of the internet and its ability to connect people on a global scale.
