Whole lotta sellouts

bogustThe difference is despite Quattro being an ad it’s still sick as fuck original content while skiing TikTok is low effort copy and pasted marketing.

percs1. im 23
2. ur older than me
3. ur overweight

eheathThis.

@percs you're a crusty old head that posts tons of stupid takes like this one, so I'm gonna keep this short, but without hackel selling out to instagram he'd be pursuing a career and not skiing. Same goes for every other pro skier you love, they are just trying to survive in a brand driven industry, there are very little ways to make money in the ski industry these days and you should be happy that your favorite skiers can make any money at all.

hank.ski😂😂😂

STEEZUS_CHRI5TYea Andy Parry and LJ should quit their jobs and start doing fortnight dances on tik-tok because eheath said so

eheathtiktok is far past just dances my dude, my day job is editing videos and I've been making a ton of videos formatted specifically for tiktok, and they're the same boring corporate bullshit ads that are on every other platform (for the most part) tiktok is just another platform that accesses a younger audience, just like IG 10 years ago.

percsIt’s still crazy to me seeing grown men post things on tik Tok. But seeing alex Haeckel posting “apparently the first two people who pop up when you hit share want to ski pow with you” followed by pow stock footage was my tipping point. Like bro you car so much about anonymous people who don’t even ski. Making the caption all relatable n shit for people wh on go skiing once every 3 years. Like the fake likes mean that much to you? Where you need to angle your whole creative process to match the mainstream clicks? All I’m saying is that alex hackel used to be core af but tik tok really got to him. Lame

BigmoneyMattMy dude you really gunna compare it to instagram 10 years ago? I'm dying.

tominiemenmaaWhat would you compare it to? IMHO 2013 Instagram is very different in many ways than 2023 TikTok, but there's quite a few similarities too, especially in the audience and influencing side, and the comparison is fair in my books.

BigmoneyMatt? instagram in 2013 was for basic ass pictures. Tik Tok in 2023 is for degeneracy, by design actually. Are we really just gunna forget that Tik Tok is a communist psy-op?

STEEZUS_CHRI5TYea I don't get where we got into the marketing side of things. The pushback on Tik-Tok is because it's a breeding ground for the most fake and narcissistic content ever created. It's addicting and bad for your mental health but people justify it because of money? Since when is selling out okay?

eheathAnd Instagram doesn't? OK

mitt.nedlumSo you admit that both platforms do this but are still defending it?

eheathI don't understand what you think I'm defending, both ig and TikTok are huge advertising platforms, that's a fact.

mitt.nedlumI understand what you are saying, both platforms are huge for advertising for sure. I was referring to you defending skiers for selling out

eheathIll say it again, what would you expect the skiers to do otherwise? They either play the game or they're working 8 months out of year to support skiing 'professionally'.

gotta make money somehow man, not sure what y'all are expecting your favorite "core" skiers to do without selling out.

skiermanJust fuck off already, eheath. This is getting fucking pathetic.

CoolChillGuy420Ya hate to see it.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TYou guys are right, I'm cool with Tik Tok now because money

eheathIf you think this kind of content doesn't exist on other platforms you're just willfully ignorant. TikTok is just like ig, you can choose what you look at, you chose to pick out the most cringe content possible, you could do that on ANY platform. The more you post, the more I realize you are a complete moron.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TYou're in your late 30's arguing every week with teenagers and guys in their 20's. The worst part is that it's always for no reason. It has to be exhausting living like this.

eheathnice deflection my dude, sorry that I want to inform the young lads like yourself with knowledge I have collected over the years, you're the one who is being a child and crying about social media.

SteezyYeeterthank you for informing us!

eheathNS would be stupid to not make a TikTok is literally the only way to advertise to the younger generation. They have had a TikTok for a couple years now.

fucintightlike ig, twitter, fb, and sc aren't? theyre all designed to be addictive, make ppl forget about the real world, and steal your meta-data lol

feels like tiktok is as much a chinese psyop as facebook is an american one

BigmoneyMattYeah didn't say they weren't. Also it doesn't feel llike anything buddy. TikTok LITERALLY IS a chinese psy-op.

eheathWhile I wouldnt be surprised if the CCP was taking data from tiktok, its nothing that China couldn't already buy in the first place, if someone wants your data is just costs money, you already gave it up years ago.
