It's crazy how this just came out a week ago, with so much talk about ths potential of TikTok, and now there are rumors that it could all come to an end in the U.S.
Update! I watched this video when it came out. I got inspired to make my own animated tik toks. After three months of making tik toks I now have 1.2 million followers! All thanks to my animated character Rabbert. My goal is to hit 3 million followers by christmas. I have already started selling merchandise and I am designing plushies to be sold! Thank you for inspiring me Colin and Samir!
Surprisingly I came across your comment. I was thinking of putting my animation on Tiktok but was unsure. I just started growing on RUclips now. If you see this comment and can reply, my question is did Tiktok grew your youtube channel? Or were you already had millions of subscribers before trying Tiktok? Thanks for your time.
when comparing tiktok to youtube, I get it that it seems concerning for youtube creators because it seems like the audience might be leaving youtube or gen z not tuning in. But I think there's a huge difference between the types of content you get on each platform. you can't really fit a good tutorial in a tiktok, it's hard to tell a good story on tiktok, I dont see musicians releasing 15 second songs... if titok transitions to long form videos they'd have to lure in youtubers somehow or tiktokers would have to learn how to deliver long form videos. btw great video, we love your stuff (we are 3 brothers running our channel, it's in hebrew so don't even bother haha)
Wang Motions tiktok is repetitive same dancing just different people thats why I stick to comedy tiktok but i wish tiktok will push comedy content creators
Well done! Other thing that’s interesting about TikTok is the company itself sponsors content unlike any other platform. #TikTokPartner was something I’d see all the time in the early days... but still to this day they pay creators to post X amount of videos on a monthly basis. Which I don’t totally understand at this point. They’ll also pay creators to promote certain initiatives or campaigns like the recent #LearnOnTikTok push for tutorial content on the platform.
Colin and Samir there was a redditor that reverse engineered tik tok www.boredpanda.com/tik-tok-reverse-engineered-data-information-collecting/ Now, it is a redditor so take it with a grain of salt, but I believe this is a bit alarming
Arvind Bachoe other apps ask for your permission and don’t look at the apps you have downloaded and your location without you knowing. www.boredpanda.com/tik-tok-reverse-engineered-data-information-collecting/
I don't know where you guys came from or how you ended up in my feed, but I subscribed midway through the first video I saw of yours. Your content resonates with me and your production value is legit. Thanks!
13 minutes, 49 seconds...hmm, little different from 7:00 or 5:00. But honestly, I don't want 7 or 5. The "extra" personality or joke bits are what make Colin and Samir, Colin and Samir. It's like bringing the YT audience into what the podcasts are like. From an analytical perspective, why you guys are at 100k is an interesting question. I don't have the answer, but I don't think cutting The Breakdown shorter (at least not the main episode) is the answer. Oh, and I definitely noticed the font switch before I heard the podcast. I'm down with it. One more thing 😆, when I hear 'Colin and Samir' the first thing I think of is the logo. I guess you're doing something right with your visual branding. **end of essay:)
I just wish tik tok doesn't get bigger than youtube RUclips has been (in my opinion) the best thing that ever happened to Internet and its kinda scary to see another platform rise that fast especially when the quality and value of the content on the two platforms are no where comparable
Really loved the longer format that allowed you to get other creators involved, especially the Black, Asian and Female creators you featured! Don’t be afraid to make these videos longer if you feel like it can be used effectively to tell a story.
That's so dope! i've been trying to grow on TikTok for a good few months now... Half a year? And have only now begun to see success with a LOT of trial and error - the platform definitely became really crowded when quarantine started, but I think it's still worth it to pursue a platform there!
Solid video. To continue on with the Tik Tok trend, have y'all considered or have you had discussion on doing an episode regarding privacy and the data that Tik Tok collects from its users?
This was EXCELLENT. Gave me insights into things I was not aware of regarding the marketplace and how distribution platforms can help creators become more accessible. Didn’t mind the longer runtime b/c of that and because we were getting like mini creator stories within the larger narrative of the episode’s thesis. So dope guys 😊
Love the new style of this episode incorporating documentary-esque interviews-pacing kept it engaging throughout! Excited for more content like this 🤘🏽
Personally, i think RUclips is superior and will always be the place i consume my content. I just appreciate the effort it takes to put together a RUclips video. But i might also be biased because i just started a vlog after making videos for 2+ years and i know the hustle.
I love your work on this episode! I do have one concern with TikTok... and before I get into my opinion, I would love to state that I absolutely love TikTok. And, I currently co-own / work with someone where we grew a TikTok account to over 1.7 million followers (averaging 3 million views a video) in six months. In addition, I have many friends in the TikTok space (creators and people who work there)... so this opinion, though strong, comes from a good place. - At around 9:06 you mentioned how TikTok can push out (or essentially boost) a creator's video to the for you page, especially if the creator is doing a brand deal. I think this where it goes a little grey. Why? Because oftentimes it means that the post itself isn't being drawn out by the algorithm, but rather someone playing with the switches inside of TikTok. - TikTok is supposed to be about meritocracy, they call themselves the "democratic" platform. However, by boosting these posts to the fyp they're sidestepping this mission statement. This goes even further beyond brand deals. - TikTok wants to create their culture: they want to dictate kind of what they want their platform to look like... hence when the TikTok ambassador started (especially in the beginning of things) - they would start pushing out these TikTok ambassador creators they felt would represent their "new culture beyond dance" to the fyp and which would "auto-bot" these creators to have millions of followers. - I'm not naming any names, but it becomes apparent when you begin to see a creator who exploded on the platform, who is a TikTok ambassador, and then bam! When their posts aren't boosted - the democratic world of TikTok comes into play and the views on their videos are slim to none (inconsistency). - And we're not just talking subtle difference, I'm talking massive. For example, a brand deal post / boosted post that has 4.5 million views and then bam! their next line of videos is at around 30k-50k views. I can understand maybe 200k-300k. But if you have millions of followers (and you're posting consistently with the same type of content) the gaps shouldn't be that massive. - Yes, you can say the algorithm fluctuates with RUclips or IG or any other platform in general. However, the big difference is RUclips isn't pushing recommended based on what they think the culture of RUclips should be - or if some big brand is paying them lots of $$$ - whereas with TikTok - for a site that says it's all about the democratization of creators - a little hypocritical - There are so many beautiful things about TikTok (I mean hell. my partner and I are making a decent amount of money from TikTok). But this one thing is one of the dark sides of the platform. - I understand this might be a strong argument - and I'm glad my username here isn't the same on my main TikTok channel or I think I would be in trouble (lol not I just feel as if I'm into conspiracies). But this is something to think about. If you want to talk more about it, I would love to get more into the weeds. - lastly, keep doing what you're doing. I adore every moment :D
That's a fair argument. Did you see their last video where they commented on the CEO's explanation of how TikTok is like a society? I had sooo many questions after that. I still do:). Really I have nothing to comment against your points. I get what you mean.
@@carmel.k thanks! I love this channel so I think I've seen all their videos at least once if not three times (some are just really good not to repeat). And for this argument? I'm just lucky that I have TikToker friends (who also make a fulltime living from TikTok) who are willing to speak about this stuff. So the argument isn't really from me per-say... just gathering of info from everyone I know in the space
This video just helped me realise I need to start making my own content. I’m a film student & im pretty decent at editing. Tiktok seems like perfect place for me to start. Thanks guys 🙏🏾
TikTok is walking a fine line right now about what direction they go in for the future. They don't want to end up like RUclips. They might not realize it, but these 2-3M followers creator isn't what keeps the platform running, it's the 10k - 300k that just don't care, make funny videos, and realistically cannot be monetized on a large scale. If TikTok converts to a marketplace for products, they're going to lose much more of their audience than they might expect. For every person who has downloaded TikTok to watch the creators featured in this video, 5 more just miss Vine. TikTok cannot afford to lose the "everyday creator", especially if it means making everyone a Charli D'amelio, brand-friendly, creator. Trust me, I'm Gen Z.
Hey, there's a new site for TikTokers called Quidvid..basically you answer a question and earn £1 for each answer. It won't make you millions but I use it to make a few bob now and then. Greetings from London 😉
When people in America say “I’m working 5 jobs, I’m working 7 jobs” what does that mean? I’ve only ever heard that said by Americans. How can you work 7 jobs? Are short contractual hours in America a given?I mean it’s common for some businesses to only give you like 4-8 hours a week but would a person genuinely find 7 different places to work 4hr/a week shifts at once? Seems bizarre.
Well done guys! I often think I should TikTok but have no idea what I’d do on there... It’s hard to stop watching the vids over there, they suck you in. Jade is a cool creator, been following her for a year or so, impressive what she’s accomplished at her age.
tangentially related to this video but its been pretty cool to see how your videos how evolved over the past few years! love the 'new' format with the broken down timestamps and the interviews - looking forward to more of em :)
Im here from your appearance on The Graham Stephans channel, and I watched the whole thing. After seeing how much you make I did not click out of any of the ads. Great video.
I dig the series guys. I’m curious about the small percentage of successful TikTok users that are businesses, or users over 30 NOT using TikTok trends or mimicking younger creators. Gary Vee status, just doing you on TikTok versus, “hey guys, I’m 42 but I can still do your dance” 💃
I had no idea they had a marketplace. Sponsored background music is also something that makes sense, but I didn't think about. That's interesting! It is a bit concerning TikTok would potentially push a video because it's a sponsored deal unless they are labeling it as an ad. I mean... it's smart but can, understandably, get into dangerous territory with the FCC.
Tik tok market place is gonna be like Fiverr for influencers.... Great for people starting off, but over time abundance of creators on the platform would result in underpayment for their work
RUclips is quality production with planning. Vimeo is production studios showcasing. Tiktok is procrastination scrolling boredom pop culture hacks. You follow and like what you love. Turner Novak has made interesting points with the future of Tiktok and it's possible when instagram is doing that with brands linking and getting people to buy directly off the platform. I'm not surprised with how much will people consume and purchase more of what they love seeing🙃
#BreakdownFactCheck you guys did a great job with this video, well done. But I definitely think you need to do another one focusing on the major privacy issues TikTok has. Start with the Penetrum TikTok security white paper where they outline what kinds of stuff is being collected on users.
Hey guys! I'm a medical student on TikTok and I am lucky to have 360,000+ followers on TikTOk and I just gotta say that as someone who is a creative person and loves to record videos, TikTok has given me the freedom and opportunity to connect to people around the world, so that I can educate and inspire them to go into medicine. I'm still waiting for a brand deal to pay off my student loan debt (LOOOOL) but TikTok has definitely been a great place to create content. I'm very interested to see where this app goes so thank you for this video. I appreciate you guys! All the best!
Really good insight about TikTok, have seen some local business joining . Example couple restaurants have said in TikTok they get more customers because of they videos
I have 190k followers on TikTok, and the most i’ve gotten for a sponsorship was $75. I’m 17, so I can’t be qualified for the TikTok Creator Marketplace just yet, but as for now I don’t even have the negotiation grounds for a good price of a sponsorship:(
man i gotta say these videos are really well put together like wow good for you guys. that being said i truly do not understand tiktok and its unreal how ridiculous this shit has gotten lmfao. "influencer union" like cmon bruh do my ears deceive me or did i truly just hear that come out of someones mouth. no hate to them but my lord what has this become.
Really great video. I started my channel on RUclips 2 years ago and I’ve struggled to get to 500 subscribers and over 1k in views. In the relatively short time I’ve been on TikTok I’ve gained 25k followers and some of my videos have reached 400k views. For my journey TikTok has been the better platform to work on.
I am a Tiktoker with 320,000 followers and I don’t receive brand deals and can’t find a way to use the “funnel” for RUclips or instagram. I earn money in the Creator fund but it isn’t enough to pay my bills. Any ideas on how to better market of shift my audience to increase the chances of either a brand deal or funneling them to RUclips or instagram?

Relatively new. Month old at most
They talked about this in a podcast, very new and I agree really cool.
@@TuckerPearce I think once you display the time stamps in the description, Google will do it for you
@@bloomfilms I've noticed these on really old videos too. We might not have known about these because not too many people used it.

I would watch these guys break down any topic.

btw great video, we love your stuff (we are 3 brothers running our channel, it's in hebrew so don't even bother haha)
Tiktok is 90% comedy content cause they are all less than a minute. Tik Tok is already feeling repetitive
Also, long form vertical videos wouldn’t grab as much attention that a horizontal video would.
Funny seeing you guys here, long time fan haha

This might be your guys’ best video. I don’t use tik tik (cuz data mining without you knowing) but this video made me incredibly interested
ik what data mining is, but I'm curious. can you elaborate or recommend someone's video explaining this?
But how is it different compared to other platforms mining your data?
Interesting where did you find out about the data mining?

What kind of videos do you post?
The flow of this video is great. That creator marketplace is a gamechanger.
I love how 1:12 nearly precisely depicts TikTok right now.

I dig the series guys. I’m curious about the small percentage of successful TikTok users that are businesses, or users over 30 NOT using TikTok trends or mimicking younger creators. Gary Vee status, just doing you on TikTok versus, “hey guys, I’m 42 but I can still do your dance” 💃

I just want to say I appreciate the persistence you both have to create a content every time even though u guys are under rated. Good luck guys
Been following you guys since TLN, it super cool to see you becoming such great creators on your own
Really loving the TikTok breakdowns and videos your doing about the platform. Thanks, guys!
Tik tok market place is gonna be like Fiverr for influencers.... Great for people starting off, but over time abundance of creators on the platform would result in underpayment for their work
Especially, seeing how fast you can build that following. Speaking from experience.

You know education is too expensive when a STUDENT has to work multiple jobs while studying for college
Great content guys, no problem with the extra length. Enjoying the breakdown series 👍
This was such a well-researched and edited video, once again amazing content, thx guys :,)
most underrated channel on yt
Love the longer video and interviews!! Super interesting 👍🏻
As a fellow Rohan I really liked this video.
Great video guys! As always love TheBreakdown series. Will be fun to see what path Tiktok goes down.
commenting for algorithm, love the content and i can see the effort put in the vids, good luck lad.
I loved this video... I've followed y'all from TLN and watching these videos lately is really refreshing and its cool to see a new platform grow!
I am so happy to see your subscribers count going up!!
Really good insight about TikTok, have seen some local business joining . Example couple restaurants have said in TikTok they get more customers because of they videos
The breakdown was 🔥 again... some interesting stuff I didn’t know yet. Looks like Tik Tok is here to stay.
Love this type of breakdown 🙏🏽
Y'all. This was so sick. I sent it to our social media manager. Seriously. Great work you guys!
Nice work. Informative ✌🏻
another great video with some very interesting insights!! keep it up guys
Yo Colin and Samir! Great video, guys. I'm a few months late, but you ALREADY KNOW I subscribed ‼️💯
Making breakdowns not boring is something hard to do. And you pulled it off
It just feels weird people making more money in social media than traditional jobs
I have 190k followers on TikTok, and the most i’ve gotten for a sponsorship was $75. I’m 17, so I can’t be qualified for the TikTok Creator Marketplace just yet, but as for now I don’t even have the negotiation grounds for a good price of a sponsorship:(
but it’s always been a lifelong dream of mine to be a RUclipsr so I’m still grinding here!
You guys are underrated. RUclips should recommend your videos so you can grow faster.
My #1 source on social media news/ gen z relevant news
I had to pause and say Colin and Samir, I see you. Thank you!! I appreciate you and I appreciate this video.
Every tik tok creator should be watching your stuff I feel like
man i gotta say these videos are really well put together like wow good for you guys. that being said i truly do not understand tiktok and its unreal how ridiculous this shit has gotten lmfao. "influencer union" like cmon bruh do my ears deceive me or did i truly just hear that come out of someones mouth. no hate to them but my lord what has this become.
Excellent episode, super awesome format
Thanks. Great video / content.
Following your market / creator approach to some of these platforms is encouraging and informative.
Really great video. I started my channel on RUclips 2 years ago and I’ve struggled to get to 500 subscribers and over 1k in views. In the relatively short time I’ve been on TikTok I’ve gained 25k followers and some of my videos have reached 400k views. For my journey TikTok has been the better platform to work on.
One of my fave channels on RUclips :)
Great video guys, honestly you both have constantly been on the cusp of this growing industry, love all the content!
Such high quality, keep it going, this is great!!
This is very informative and very well edited guys. Great to see a new platform where a lot of people can make a living.
The quality of these videos have been on point lately!
I am a Tiktoker with 320,000 followers and I don’t receive brand deals and can’t find a way to use the “funnel” for RUclips or instagram. I earn money in the Creator fund but it isn’t enough to pay my bills. Any ideas on how to better market of shift my audience to increase the chances of either a brand deal or funneling them to RUclips or instagram?
SOLID VIDEO🙌🏼 Curating the best of internet culture. Keep it up!
This was really insightful.
