TikTok Algorithm “Secrets,” Trends, Filters, Food Tok and More!

Dena and Melissa start the show discussing the Wall Street Journal article about TikTok’s “secretive” algorithm. We feature videos from @professorcasey and @tomlumperson.

Trends this week include asking, “Who will ruin the family vacation?” with an example from Jim Gaffigan (@jimgaffigan).

There’s a trend where parents prank their kids pretending to touch a dog’s butthole.

We talk about the Blue and Red Filter, featuring a video from @reen_machine.

Musical TikTok is back with a huge orchestra behind this cat drinking milk, featuring a video from @violingrl.

A choir sings Backstreet Boys from @itspoppymoon.

Rollercoaster shenanigans ensue on TikTok.

This food account from @thehealchef has delicious audio.

Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) joined TikTok and is basically Lizzie MacGuire all grown up.

Zooey Deschanel (@zooeydeschanel) also joined and used New Girl audio to introduce herself.

Creator spotlight this week shines on @heymiadotco, a UX researcher who teaches us about user experience on the things we use everyday.
