Admittedly, Tik Tok has many exquisite short videos with excellent production and profound thoughts, but there are countless chaos among them. Next, let's take a look at some confusion in Tik Tok.
I don't know when the names "master" and "teacher" became so cheap. A "big stomach king" with an ordinary appetite can be called a "teacher" admired by thousands of people; A "beggar" who can recite a few lines in junior and senior high school textbooks can be greatly exaggerated as a "master". The appearance of this phenomenon is really hard to understand.
In my mind, the concept of a teacher is someone who can impart knowledge or skills to us. They are either knowledgeable or experienced. The concept of a master is even more lofty. It can be said that they are the best in a certain field of this era. They should not only stand out from the crowd, but also have high moral quality.
From this definition, I really don't know what are the "teachers" and "masters" of Tik Tok worthy of these titles, and I don't know what the "shaking friends" can learn from their "extraordinary" videos.
I don't mean to criticize any Tik Tok who shakes the Lord, but in my opinion, most of the so-called "teacher" and "master" videos show personality traits that can be equated with grandstanding to a great extent.
Well, I think this one is a common problem of contemporary netizens! This phenomenon exists in Weibo, Zhihu and Tik Tok. Its concrete manifestation is that it likes to express seemingly "reasonable" radical language because of emotional influence without knowing the truth.
This often happens in Tik Tok. For example, in a calligraphy video, there will always be praise of "the master is wandering and the clown is in the hall". There is no denying that this phenomenon may exist, but I think it is unlikely to happen. Because many cursive scripts are written by calligraphy masters when they are old, they are organized and artistic. Don't make random comments just because you don't understand.
The vibrato video is very touching in many aspects, but it seems to me very delicate and artificial. How can you really help others make videos on purpose! Meeting people who need help is random in life. You never know when you will meet them, and you don't know where they got the foresight to shoot those videos that have been shot.
The biggest selling point of this kind of video is to induce others' sympathy, and just some people are unwilling to recognize the reality.
Many "well-known" Tik Tok masters started as buskers, such as "Brother Pomegranate", "Master Shen" and "Laughing God". Admittedly, some of them are really talented, but most of them can still smell a strong packaging atmosphere from them. Its specific performance is that the lifestyle and behavior have changed before and after becoming famous. For example, people who bought a "fool" before becoming famous recover quickly after becoming famous.
It can be said that there are too many fakes in Tik Tok, not that we can't detect them, but that this shows that another chaotic "fan" of Tik Tok is unwilling to accept the reality, and they prefer to live in the world of those packaged fakes.
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes", and Tik Tok, a river and lake, is even deeper. True or false, good or bad, you have to judge for yourself.
