Recently, there has been talk of TikTok phenomenon Mükremin Gezgin’s ‘claim to have given birth’. This is a hot topic; It tells us a lot about the TikTok algorithm, content production and how some ‘sensitive’ topics can be exploited to get more views.
If you remember, there was a ‘YouTuber’ boom for a while. Many people who learned that YouTube is monetized by producing content, we had to flock to the platform and watch people of all ages doing strange and strange things.
Of course, the attention span of these videos, where it is not possible to say ‘content’, was also very short, and then the YouTube algorithm took these videos out of our eyes. But YouTube was just starting to pick up, this time TikTok has arrived.
‘Creating content’ on TikTok is very easy and the algorithm is next to TikTokers
Yes, on social media Our content consumption habits have changed a lot.. In fact, Instagram, which started out as a ‘photo sharing application’, is now filled with reels and the platform highlights reels. Even Twitter, a microblog, is considering the idea of video content. Because users want this, and TikTok became the platform where the content culture consisting of these short videos gained strength and reached the top.
Actually before TikTok ‘short and clear videos’ we encountered platforms produced, but these platforms did not have a long life. We can count many reasons that make TikTok so long-lasting and one of the most used social media platforms in the world.
One of them is undoubtedly how easy it is to produce ‘content’. So much so that with a single video of a trend, it is possible to increase the number of views easily, and to reach all videos with high number of views by using popular music.
Also, there is no need to ‘search’ to watch a video on TikTok; because the algorithm offers you countless videos one after the other. This creates a habit rather than a conscious monitoring behavior. The platform, where there is almost no concern for quality and watchable content, is also not very sensitive about content control. This too Become TikToker and ‘make money’ makes it much easier. As long as there is a video that will flow…
There’s nothing a fairly large audience can’t do to get more views.
Being a TikTok phenomenon and earning income from it naturally appeals to many people. This is just like the time As in the YouTuber stream it causes everyone to declare themselves ‘TikToker’ and do everything they can to get more views.
In the introduction to the article, we Mükremin Traveler example, a kind of summary of the situation. Traveler has been on TikTok for a while a ‘content generating’ TikTok phenomenon. But she gained real popularity after she announced she was ‘pregnant’. As you can imagine, these fake pregnancy contents of the traveler exploded and attracted huge attention. The videos were watched by millions and occupied the agenda for days on social media.
She must have liked the attention she got so much that when these content took hold, Gezgin started shooting content only about her fake pregnancy. So much so that he shared dozens of content, from hospital videos where he went to the doctor to ‘provocative’ videos with ‘oh my child, I thought he fell’. Then this video sequence #TikTokTurn off hashtag and a subsequent investigation resulted in. All of these developments have hurt anyone who uses TikTok or produces content there.
”What’s wrong with that? You can say, “People watched and laughed!”
But The Traveler and this sudden fame show us what kind of issues people are hurting, knowingly or unknowingly, by exploiting them to get more views.
Traveler has carried his fame with these fiction videos to YouTube, but he has not yet received the attention he expected there. Millions of watched videos on TikTok, It has an average of 5-10 thousand views on YouTube.. She shared a video on YouTube where she first talked about who she was and talked about her pregnancy. In this video, he said several times that those who insulted him and hated him made the biggest contribution to his current position, namely ‘phenomenon’. In other words, he is aware of the feeling of hatred he creates and feeds, and he is very pleased with it.
Although he succumbed to the YouTube algorithm, Gezgin, who maintains his popularity on TikTok, has achieved this popularity because he is a feminine man, having a man who says he’s pregnantowes to topics such as claiming to be a mother. But as we just said; it’s not the people who admire it, people who hate it.
Thus, the Traveler feeds the increasing hatred in our society, He uses the subjects he declares as ‘sacred’ to create chaos. he is very pleased with it and ‘looking on his way’.
Of course, it is not a problem to live a life contrary to the subjects declared as ‘sacred’ by the society and to establish one’s own existence outside of these concepts. Living the person you are where you want is also not a matter of discussion. Moreover, the Traveler is not the type of person he reflects in his TikTok videos in his daily life. He’s just a ‘phenomenon’ using a character he created. But it is something that will spread to the lives of others. hate, abuse, exploit, and willingly create chaos just for the sake of getting more viewsUnfortunately, it’s not an acceptable behavior.
More people come and say ‘die, you will hang and cut such‘ who is happy about it, enjoy increased views and engagement Anyone who thinks they can ward off this influence simply by saying, ‘You can criticize but you cannot judge’, must also take responsibility for the damage done.
TikTok, unfortunately, is full of names that have become phenomenal by following this path.
Producing quality content, using TikTok just for fun and entertainment, or doing it properly who made it a professional business There are millions of people. But I think we would not be wrong if we say that there is a much wider audience trying to take advantage of various situations.
Everyone can use every platform as they wish, they want to be TikToker or a phenomenon; He may also want to choose it as a profession and earn an income. However, while doing this, the effects of the wave created must also be calculated. Platforms should pay more attention to this issue while developing their algorithms, content based solely on exploitation and ‘provocation’ and he shouldn’t be so indulgent in calculations….
