FIND ANYTHING ON YOUR FYP TIKTOK INCLUSIVITY & INTENSITY: FIND ANYTHING ON YOUR FYP

Word by Mdpwn. Fatima Louise L. Pumaren and Mdpn. Syrus Miguel S. Santamena

Have you ever experienced the feeling that you had no control over your fingers? Like you were possessed and powerless to stop scrolling on your gadgets. Or even experienced a time shift where five hours seemed to last only for five minutes? It may sound like sorcery, but I assure you that you are not under any spell, and most likely simply basking in the radiance of “the last sunny corner of the internet,” Tiktok.

This popular social media platform can send you down the rabbit hole by showing you things that fit together perfectly or dogs dancing to reggaeton, but there is real depth in TikTok’s creative realm. Tiktok gives you a pervasive feeling of inclusion. It’s not like Instagram, trying to persuade you of its users’ happiness, or like Twitter, of their rightness. It’s an inclusive platform that encourages users to be their authentic selves while connecting in communities with likeminded people. Communities for a wide range of interests, including comedy, dance, cooking, sports, fashion, animals, films, satisfaction, sustainability, and more.

“TikTok transcends borders, language barriers, and generation gaps. “It connects people with diverse backgrounds and encourages empathy and understanding,” Sean Kim, Head of Product at TikTok US, said.

TikTok is a fun way to connect with different people across regions of the globe who carry similar perspectives and resonate similar voices. Users appear as themselves, sharing stories of bliss, humor, bravery, morality, and flaws where they don’t have to be perfect, and that’s perfect. Everyone has a place in the array of Tiktok communities, regardless of..

How about you? What community do you fit into?

Find the right communities for you and your videos. Find other creators who share your interests, and connect with people who appreciate watching you, be you.

Fast forward to 2021, Ayn found more success on a new platform: TikTok, where she shares inspiring messages that tackle all kinds of topics, ranging from self-love to body positivity and more. Her videos usher in good vibes and leave you feeling empowered, ready to face whatever comes your way. “What I learned through TikTok is that if their initial impression of you is that you’re somebody they need to fight, then they won’t listen.” The path to education and progress is through understanding, “Bakit sila ganito?” What is the root of this ideology and how can we address that in a way na we get to have them on our side? “You have one shot to get people to listen to you.” - Ayn If you haven’t yet, you should check her account (@aynbernos) right now.

The Doctor: Winston Creones Tiwaquen

Dr. Winston Creones Tiwaquen, commonly known as Dr. Kilimanguru, is a content creator who uses his social media platforms, particularly Tiktok, to teach medical knowledge to children, teenagers, and adults. He gives health advice and debunks common health myths by giving science-based answers to questions such as “Nakakalagnat ba talaga ang pagligo sa ulan?” “Nakakataba ba ang pag-inom ng tubig?” and “Nakakalaki ba ng tiyan ang pag-upo matapos kumain?” TikTok has given him the platform to help educate the public, particularly those with little access to professionals, about health risks and new medical discoveries.

“I get a lot of recurring common questions from patients.

“ I keep on repeating to myself that it feels like I have a script to fight the misinformation and misconceptions about health; I have to make sure that everything I put out there on Tiktok is medically accurate and backed up by science and research.” -Dr.
