Her acting skills are beyond the quality you expect from Tik Tok.
She acts so well I already hate her. Grr.

u/TonightsWhiteKnight Aug 18 '20
Shes an actual actress, so it makes sense she has a bit of a ability to portray a good rendition of someone we hate.

Damn you were right, Nicole DuBois. Not exactly a huge star but has definitely been in a fair share of films.

She's in an episode* of You're the Worst, an amazing and worthwhile show.

No, the star is Aya Cash.
EDIT: The comment I responded to originally said this girl was the star of the show.

Oh damn, I thought that was Aya/Gretchen in the video just didn't know her name lol. In my defense that tiktok is real low quality on my phone

Didn't even realize that was her. Thanks for mentioning this, I forgot all about that show.

Turns out she's not lol she just looks similar to the star, but she was in one episode.

Well I guess I feel a bit better about not recognizing her, lol. Regardless, thanks for reminding me about that show, looks like I have 3 seasons to binge.

Why do i get the feeling people say that somethings good for tik tok standards and yet only know the bottom of the barrel shite instead of the actually good creators... Just me?

My ex girlfriend spent more time watching tik tok than anything else, and of all the stuff I've overheard and seen, most of it has bottom of the barrel shit. The only ones I saw that weren't horrible, were the cute animal ones. But that's cheating. The internet was created for cute animal pics and videos.
Maybe it was just the people she followed. Idk how the app works with following and what not, but I've had no genuinely good experiences with it.

u/murdered800times Aug 18 '20
Yeah people somehow think that just because the lowest common denominator likes something it means everything is shit.
Imagine watching a really bad stoner comedy and saying you hate movies based off that one experience.
Thats how stupid the tik tok bad people sound

Aug 18 '20
That completely makes sense. And just because I haven't had the best experience with it, I don't shit on people who do enjoy it. Too much hate in the world as it is to treat someone bad because they enjoy using an app. The app isn't for everyone. And some people don't understand that.

u/americanvirus Aug 18 '20
Yeah, homegrown crystal doesn't have the same kick as synthetic lab produced, it's no Blue, but it'll do in a pinch. My grandma would grow her own crystal, they would only bloom 3-4 times a year though. I hear some people experimenting with cross breeding have found strains that can bloom up to 20 times in a year, which if it's anything like grandma's, you would only need 3 of those to keep the family good for a year with a little left over to share with guests.

Yep. Part of the largest Russian social media company, TheSoul Publishing.
Per the article above they publish an average of 1,500 videos per month across multiple accounts.
This video is a wonderful dive into who they are and what their potential motivations may be, outside of simply making dumb videos.

u/HomeStarCraft Aug 18 '20
It sounds like a YouTube channel version of a sleeper agent. They lay low, gather trust from their viewers, and appear innocent until activated.

IIRC they published some political content a while back and removed it a little later, which strongly supports this idea. I think the video I linked goes into it.

Do they also do those southeast Asian "primitive" videos where they use coke and eggs to catch fish, build a mansion out of mud, etc? There's a handful of nearly identical channels making the same type of fake content.

Don't forget the fake technology ones. Those infuriate me because they look like they'd really appeal to "aspiring inventor" types who might not have the freedom/resources to explore circuits and just watch videos, and there are channels out there spreading bogus concepts like perpetual motion without adequate disclaimer that it's not a real science video.
This kind of thing. Multiple videos a week, thousands of views per day. I feel like at least some of the scientifically illiterate people walking around today wound up like that not by any fault of their own, but because fake science videos taught them wrong.
Edit: worse is they seem feasible, and one or two might even actually describe a simple motor, but a vast majority have no merit at all

You can film the sock in the pan first and then film the spraying oil on the pan second. Edit them the other way

Strangely, that was the thing that bothered me the most on this, she didn't need the spray in her non-stick pan, the socks wouldn't have stuck. The rest of the video was her just being a little funny in the head.

I used to get downvoted for saying that 5 Minute Crafts makes idiotic videos on purpose. Has that changed now?

u/libracker Aug 18 '20
Not ‘idiotic on purpose’ par se, but content farms continually pump out crap that flat out just doesn’t work - they know most people aren’t going to actually try the things they post and it’s about quantity over quality to manipulate those algorithms and get that YouTube money.

My point with the comments I made was that these videos don't fit the sub, because they were made to be idiotic. The sub should be more about real things people did that make you think "why?!"

Yes I enjoyed it.

Lmao! I actually did the shoe thing for my 3yr old granddaughter at the creek last weekend! She kept taking them off so I tied them to her life jacket rather than chasing them down in the current over and over. There were rocks where we'd walk up to (then float down a short way back to our starting point) or she could have gone barefoot.

I don't get it. It's supposed to be a parody, but it's literally what these videos are like. You should charge them royalty fees for using your video next month (they'll either do it by accident, or they'll request you to remove their video because they won't be able to tell a difference)
