Tik-ing the Tok!
Is it just me or is there a very big double standard on TikTok? Being new to the platform has truly had it's ups and downs. The biggest down being the frustration of having my music video sound muted in an effort to force its removal. And the further insult to injury of actually being copyright claimed on a song that I wrote, produced, and completely own all rights to.
As I scroll through my "For You Page" I am constantly bombarded with profanity, soft porn level nudity and video after video of adult themed content. Most of these videos have upwards of a million views and thousands and thousands of likes. No bans, no sound removals, and no complaints despite being completely inappropriate for kids... Yet my video was taken down and blocked within only a few days of it being posted. I am left shaking my head at this blatent and obvious contradictory standard.
So you tell me, am I missing something here or is my AKA TaBooSouL just too hot for the Tok?
Hmm, you raise some valid points and I can't help but wonder how many other talented artists this is happening to. I've seen just what you are talking about coming across my fyp feed as well. We are in a time where the music industry and social media should be able to merge harmoniously and allow creative musicians the freedom to do what they do best. Self expression through music has been taking place since the beginning of time and therefore there is no place for censorship. Thanks for being so candid. I love your videos!
