Fictional Influencers Are Taking Over TikTok 

Nuh-uh, she's a billionaires daughters identical twin! 🤪

If I remember right from seeing that girl in a previous video, I think the twin sister was adopted when they were babies?? Either that or they were separated at birth

@@rowancook4369 Nuh, I think the first girl was adopted. I think the billionaire is both their bio dad's but on girl was adopted and we'll never know why or how he kept one but not the other. But it could viably be the opposite. It's not very well explained, hence it being called bad writing lol

@@Emu19 Aah, alright, thanks for clarifying. I guess by "she's the daughter of a billionaire, not me" she just means that although they're both his kids, the twin is the only one who benefits from his wealth?

@@Emu19 it's actually just the plot of Parent Trap

Yeah. I assumed it was a bunch of theater kids who are trying to go viral and get an acting gig or something, but nope, it's a company.

There are people who use tik tok for storytelling stuff like this on their own time, but ig going rogue doesn't get you as many views

@@maevem316 yeah, it'd be cool if they went viral instead of these :/

Tik Tok's WWE storylines in the 90's basically xD

At least they're getting paid though. Probably are up and coming actors that otherwise wouldn't have a high paying gig.

A logo making it clear this was from a production company would make this whole thing SO much less uncomfortable.

@@anoramactir I know right. This could actually be a really cool media experiment.

I know several RU-vid channels did this. “Nothing Much to Do” and “Benaddicktion” were two channels for a YT adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing back in like 2014 I think. That and the Hank Green series for Jane Austen novels. All of the Hank Green ones were nominated for (and some won) Emmys.

I think they were afraid that if ppl knew it was fictional, they wouldn’t be interested. I can see why they’d do that even though it’s super unethical.

Skam is a good example for this concept i think. Or "Druck" which is the german version

Not from clever to stupid, from clever to "oh crap I need to name them for a nuzlocke run uhhhhhhhhh"

Funny seeing you here 😂😂😂

@@lainebee5433oh, hello, you!

Yessss someone who knows their stuff

yeah I was gonna comment that

yeah even if there was some kind of interaction between the characters and the commenters, and the comments had some kind of effect on the story, then it could be considered a game. though to be fair, most people nowadays call any unfiction stories ARGs regardless of if there's interactivity or not.

Mm my favorite game, watching other people's content with no interaction 😩👍👍👍

hearing people call these an arg made me feel so old i remember back on unfiction when people were debating if marble hornets was an arg when that was still going on

@@SpookiestAlice RIGHT

Why does it seem like people are forgetting the meanings of words

@Rachel Forshee 6 months late Lola's, as a guy I kinda feel that. With splitting if I felt the date went well and theirs mutual interest ill offer to pay. But if we didn't mesh, it didn't go well etc then I typically split. I've had the issue in the past where I've paid and its come off as being interested when I'm not. Its an easier but not asshole way to go "yeah I'm not feeling it" With my girlfriend I paid the first one, and then she wanted to pay the second. Now its just we roughly alternate and its all good, dont need an exact balance so long as we both are chipping in

@@snoboreddotcom another month late but yeah, alternating when you're dating is definitely a good decision! my go-to is whoever asked the other out or decided on the venue pays, whether it's me or my date

The whole series is clearly desperately shallow storytelling fueled by the most anti-intellectual stereotypes like women being frivolously materialistic as their only personality trait to stimulate the lowest common denominator of potential viewers. Not representative of reality

patriarchy

@@Quaila very insightful analysis for this low effort storytelling. well done.

no joke, I knew her in middle and high school she was actually wild

@@starrysky6048 Wait, are you for real?

lol i was just watching your keemstar vid

Its okay you are cute!

@@sobot_ Very true

I knew it!

🙄 been knew, u reek of industry plant

EXACTLY !

his "empathy" shirt/sweatshirt says it all

I had no idea that there was a word for this!

This really do be a Life is Strange: True Colors moment

Zamn what a cowinkadink 😭

Would make this whole universe far more exciting. I’d watch that 😘

Right?!

And a nurse who can afford a beach side condo at that 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@MrWebby93 she is secretly the daughter of a billionaire to be fair lol

I think a fictional lawyer should sue her for disclosing private information on tiktok like a whole plot point and she loses her job a fake tinder.

The sad part is that 1- this is already happening because kids can’t differentiate fake from real and 2 - this is happening everywhere else as well, youtubers, instagram, twitch, tv, etc

Problem is right in the title itself: Fictional "influencer" they influence peoples choices on whatever their forte is supposed to be.

Liking this comment before I even get to that point in the video because knowing Jarvis, I already believe you Edit: Just got there and I have no complaints. Somehow it was simulatenously smooth and horrifically awkward. Well done, Jarvis.

@@nneoma_nu I feel like I’m going to get rick rolled

it's... jo.... my worlds.... are colliding.... HI JO

Agreed!!!

Yeah, the idea of a story being told through different profiles and each character tells a bit of the story is cool, but they are doing it in the worst way possible

agreed, i think the big issue is how tiktok encourages its own content to be consumed. the fyp is designed to simply scroll endlessly with little to no context, and often, people are more likely to comment asking for context rather than digging for it themselves the stories and the way they tell them aren't bad by themselves, but by the nature of tiktok, you're practically guaranteed to never even realize that it's fiction unless you're purposely looking for evidence of it; especially since the fictional tag is often sandwiched between other tags, which people will just glaze right over

yeah having the stories develop 24/7 over social media through youtube and twitter and tiktok sounds really cool, but they need to be transparent and they need really good writers

This has been a thing for a while and they usually don’t outright say “this is fiction” cause it ruins immersion for people watching or following the story. But this stuff has actual huge production companies behind them and are essentially TV shows for social media. I think the whole point is for them to trick people into thinking it’s real cause no one would really actually watch these things seriously because of how poorly they’re written and acted. They basically exploit the algorithm and people not bothering to fact check anything. This is a cool way to tell a story it just sucks it’s been taken over by production companies looking to profit on an idea that has been done independently by various artists and creators. They’re basically sucking all of the fun and interesting elements of telling a good story this way by dumbing it down to essentially click bait,

This comment should be hung up next to the race war tweet and Tony Hawk's reply.

SAME HAHAHAHA

It’s almost 4 AM here and I’m literally cackling In my tired haze, that’s absolute peak comedy🤌

This is how my mind works hahah

I didn’t know Tony Hawk was a real person until someone told me. I was 17

There are plenty of real journalists around still, but they don't get clicks, so you've gotta actually get a newspaper subscription if you wanna read their articles. The way it's been for a long time before the internet, really, they just can't compete unfortunately.

ive stumbled across this girls account before and everyone in the comment sections believed it was real and were divided over the morality of the cheating storyline, even on the videos with #fictional

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KcQNZrHdxk0.html

It's happening on all platforms. But Tik tok is being made more addictive and hypnotizing with each passing day, literally. I hear what I think you're trying to say but even if they do state upfront that it's not real, that still doesn't make it a good thing. Watching people use tik tok is disturbing to me a lot of the time because they look just like I used to look when I was addicted to heroin and at my worst. Just nodding, vacant, mad at the drop of a hat if someone interrupts, regardless of how hard they may try to be polite, or tries to take it away. I wish I was joking.

@RASEL fr?

@@jbmp1390 i feel this comment on a spiritual level. Sometimes its not just tiktok but phones in general, too. People get really addicted to it and don't realize because its not a "traditional" addiction.

these vids allow me to socially distance from tik tok

@@chaosgremlin these vids have allowed me to never install tiktok but always know whats going on

You don’t live under a rock

​@@jerroncarlson9058 Prove it

@@amandab722 It is such a struggle.

I'm so friggin suspicious though I _know_ this is a way to build up clout before they start dropping product placement or sponsored content. Smells super sus.

Agreed. Blurring the line until reality is in distinguishable from fiction is manipulation.

eh its so cheesy that if you fall for it that on you. as long as they dont do more like that “top 4 red flags” vid than i think its fine

Genius

*plays a mask of my own face by lemon demon

It could literally say anything and I would still buy it

That would just be Macdoesit merch lol

YES

@Joshua Roehl my ears were blessed

didn’t he do that now?

It's funny because I'm personally almost the opposite; I prefer the idea of it being more of a performance art piece, a conceptual alter ego like Ziggy Stardust or Marilyn Manson, where the character really pushes the audience on multiple levels and the lack of transparency is part of the artwork... it's just a shame the writing and intent on Tiktok is so vapid, but that's all just my opinion.

Many pathetic. Much sad

Look man, he's trying his best okay

my puppy beats me up as well. He is just so cute that I take the abuse.

@@Isabel-ge1ou saaaame

very pathetic indeed

@Joshua Roehl please no I don’t need this in my life

what has this thread become

@@ItsJustCob I know, I was going to come in with an "As a ______ I really enjoy this content" but then I read the other replies and my want to be funny left

@Joshua Roehl AMAZING SONG. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS THANK YOU JOSH

Thank you chef

Right-stuff like ARGs, playing characters, using it as a way to tell a story might be really cool! This is just the worst way of doing that :')

I like the idea too. (Shoutout to lonelygirl15 for inventing this whole genre like 15 years ago too.) The only real issue I have is that they try and make it seem real. If they played into it being scripted I feel like that would actually make people more interested instead of just confused

They didn't exactly come up with it though. Just like Jarvis said, this kind of idea has been around since the early days of the internet. These people executed it in the most pathetically half hearted way possible.

@@floridasoldat As we know! Breast is best!

@@LilithsCosmicLounge it’s a reference to one of his other videos where a fake animated story channel made a fake story about him lol

I understand easily. People are just idiots. Or jealous! Both?

except that one time when he was crying his best

@Joshua Roehl I'm gettin sick of you buddy boy

@@charlottemei5556 body colder??

Did you notice they weren't background music even for the ad

This idea is top tier

That would be so much fun to watch

As interesting as the concept sounds, that wouldn't be a good idea; in the unfiction (immersive fictional stories presented in realistic ways) community, we call that "gamejacking", and it's super looked down on because it can harm the original creators' ability to tell the story they want to. (Think of it like if you were hosting a live TV show and someone from the audience got onto the stage and started doing their own thing. That person'd get kicked out by security for overstepping their boundaries and getting in the way of the show.)

@@underfirebutok didn't realize that there is a whole community for this but I'm intrigued - is it mostly people telling stories via social media or are there other mediums? Also your comment totally makes sense, although it would be an interesting concept I can definitely see how it would be rude in that context. thanks for the little peek into a world I had no clue existed!

@@charlottemei5556 fishermen love, also amazed Gaze? What does that mean

Yeah I thought so too but I’m very interested still because I haven’t heard about this

What?

Sameeeee

@@sageker8208 Are you talking to the obvious "There are hot singles in your area" robot?

tick tacks? You mean, like... thumb tacks? Drawing pins? I am confusion

@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 yes indeed, weird words come out of me sometimes, it's a problem

@@rolandeak Freudian slip perhaps?

@@rolandeak I honestly didn't notice lol I read the comment and my mind interpreted "tick tacks" as thumb tacks so either I'm just really dumb that I didn't notice or I'm smart enough to understand what you were saying. Either way, both don't seem like something to brag about lmao

Cork board

The video on her account specifically covers it, but she didn't know she had a twin sister

@@leahdavis9434 I mean that’s not a completely clear explanation but it sounds like you’re saying she really was the billionaires daughter the entire time but no one knew. Which is just such trash writing, “sike, double sike ya dumb bitch” especially because I’m sure they’re not even different people and she’s not only pretending to be one person but god damn two in the same bad story. The parent trap gets a pass lol

Mood

I was thinking that too lol, I expected her next video to be about homelessness and couch surfing

Oh gods, I forgot about that

hey peebrain was SO GOOD

This is a fact 😂

This took me out

always!

I was just thinking "It's been a month" 😅

Ikr, love him to pieces

Same!

That really should be a thing

They do, that's why they started limiting the amount of daily swipes.

or make it a shot of water if you at least tolerate yourself 🙂

@@Zakro116 isnt overdosing on water deadly

First, I love your SN. Second, omg Poppy! I forgot about her! What a strange character.

@@cassuttustshirt4949 she actually makes like hard rock and metal music now. It’s super good and I suggest you give it a listen!!!

@@DangerNoodleReads I didn’t watch her much back in the day, but LOVE her current stuff

@@frostyskeletons8950 I was so happy when I randomly rediscovered her. Like she took that fame from the arg and RAN

Honestly

Oddly alluring mouth is a very weird combination of words ngl

I think your eyes work fine, it’s just a really bad choice for a shade of blue on that shirt.

Oh, I just noticed it too.

I didn't notice it until I read your comment lol

But they're not transparent about it being fake

Really tho Jake was created by the old Jake who was created by State Farm

late but who created State Farm?

Everyone immediately calls any story that presents itself as real at first an ARG, like no

Love the jokes thrown in for us nerds!

I, too, felt truly seen

Right?! It feels more like a conversation where he's talking /to/ us not /at/ us

But you ARE gold.

Hmmm so premium

wait but is it free

@@chaosgremlin it is free

Golddddd

“Suspended *without* pay” Definitely not a cop.
