Topic Introduction:

  SUPE INTENSE TIKTOK VS BATTLE ON LIVE, JOIN MY LIVE!!!!!!!!

    So if your TikTok "for you page" is anything like mine, ocasionally you stumble upon a video advertising or intesing you to join their TikTok live thats going on at the momment. 

    It might be something along the lines of "Hurry, I'm about to eat a raw egg. Join my live NOW!" or a common one along the lines of "If I don't like the person I am on live with I'm going to pour water on my head, if I do i'll pop firecracker." Those are made up examples but they're not far off from actual tiktoks that I have seen. (An example posted here on the right)

    Once you join the live, their usually not doing what they promised on their little advertisement but instead their essentially having a clout battle or a popularity battle against another account. 

    They are on live with another creator where they're having a battle, based off of likes from people watching their live. Basically the viewers are trying to overpower the other creator with the ammount of like they give to the creator they choose. Its a contest between creators to get more likes than the other creator in a certain amount of time. 

    Winner is the one with more likes at the end of the time. Thats it. 
    It sounds complicated through text but it really so simple. take a look at the image on the right here. As the viewer continue to tap the screen for likes, while I watch the red bar over power the blue bar, at the end of the time if the red bar is bigger than the blue bar, WE WIN!!!!

    Usually the people hosting the live aren't doing anything entertaining to keep people watching other than hosting the battles. 

    It looks and sounds very dumb and even brain rotting but there is a large audince for these types of lives.

    For my project, essentially I would like to uncover what the Creators get out of this along with what the viewers get out of this. I would like to see how the viewers interact with the creator and the audiance watching. It seems to oporate as a community with one goal. Overall I want to get to the bottom of what the hell this phenomenom is.

  Social Media Phenomena: Lil Chucky   By Jared Guy     Introduction     Before we get into things, I would like to say that I had a lot of fun researching this phenomenon. I g enuinely believe it’s some of the best work I’ve submitted . I want to introduce you to one of the most entertaining and interesting characters I’ve stumbled upon in a while. Self-proclaimed, “Youngest to do it,” “Running up them bandies ,” and the one that's “ Gonna put Arizona on the Map,” ladies and gentlemen , meet LIL CHUCKY!   As you can see Lil Chucky is clearly a minor, and if you noticed the kids behind him, they  look like they just left their local middle school and are waiting around for their parents. So why is this ob vious young kid acting like a hardcore gangster? Let's find out. After doing a deep dive analysis and literature review over Lil Chucky, I found out that Lil Chucky is being exploited by a bad older influence for his virality. Let's ...

FINALLY A LITERATURE REVIEW LIL CHUCKYYYYYY

  Alrigth guys, who ever is reading,  I've finally accumulated a literature review that I used to analyze the social media phenomena LIL CHUCKY  This will be a quick post, Im just going to insert my literature review below. Lets do this... Lil Chucky literature review Similar Phenomena     After stumbling onto Lil Chucky and watching the way he presents himself, ten toes down gangster who never snitches, who will take your girlfriend in an instant , and is willing to take on anyone that crosses his path , the demeanor and presentation reminded me that of Lil Tay. Lil Tay was a viral sensation around 2018 and deemed herself the “youngest flexer .” Lil Tay was usually seen flaunting wads of cash and shouting at the world that the rest of us were b roke and needed to acquire more money. Like Lil Chucky her main platform was Instagram and the videos that she would post would gain huge amounts of traffic and int eractions . One video reaching almost 13 mill...
