I’ve been gone a while from my website; I’d been working on metaphysical, spiritual and paranormal videos primarily for TikTok (TT) which I also shared on YouTube and some on my site.
I recently withdrew from making videos. I had some thinking to do and decisions to make. Shortly before Thanksgiving, I announced on TT that I wouldn’t make any more videos for TT. Their rules – which are many – are left wide open for interpretation in their favor with no recourse for the content creators (such as account review or dispute). TT also enforced rules at their whim (for some, but not for others). Then the way they began treating their monetized content creators (in general) when the creators were due some hefty money for their work, they were banned; the money making video was “disqualified” (with no explanation), or some other excuse, thus short-changing the creators (I am not monetized). Isn’t that greed?
TT also began pressuring content creators to do more; post videos daily; post videos multiple times a day; do posters; do multi-photos, etc. More, more, more. I was getting annoyed.
The result of TT’s behavior so far is that content creators (generalized) began self-censoring. I had enough. (Can view that TT video here).
