Midwestern Marx and Hinkle are crypto-fascists, not Marxists, they are nationalists for the most powerful settler colony to exist in the modern era that is currently committing at least 1 genocide

I don't know who any of these people are and I'm online all the time... Am I just old now??? Wtff is happening 😭😭😭

I can't figure out if Rathbone sucks or not, but I get a vibe and I've seen a lot of people suggest he groomed a student of his. Hard to know what's real given it's mostly just internet rumors.

I had the same concern with Madeline Pendleton, but actually saw enough of their content (and posted about it here) to figure out they are legit. Plus it turns out some of the people smearing Pendleton were literally being paid by the DNC sooo..

I never see Rathbone anymore, figured he caught a ban or something.

I heard that he was just her music tutor and that people were just trying to destroy his character by making stuff up. I put him in B tier because he seems to be too friendly with Midwestern Marx. But other than that, I like the guy.

Damn, I didnt know that spongebob and family guy had changed that much

I've seen one video with the maoist Peter arguing theory with Brian in AI voice that was posted here

The rest i have no clue, I guess one is contrapoints? maybe some of the deprogram guys? cause i only know their voices

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Contra rightfully is not on here because it's about Marxists, and I don't think the deprogram guys are here either. That said, I don't recognize a single person on here.

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The Deprogram guys are not on TikTok

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure 2 of them don't even know how to use it lmao

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Do they and others (e.g. Harper O'Connor) not even have slop tiktok channels that they upload clips to to attract people to their YT? Seems like free attention.

Business opportunity right there, I'm going to go talk to Vietnamese cumtown clippers

I thought she's the first entry in S tier.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh lol. She looks different with the red over the image

was second guessing myself too but I also fully expected to see her in S-tier

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Im happy I only recognize like 2 people, but also, who is good? I wouldnt mind having some slop to throw on when I eventually start working from home

[–] roux@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Madeline Pendleton's "Hi I'm a Leftist, hi I'm a liberal" content is pretty good. They can be a bit long winded but all of their stuff is good.

NotPokePreet has a mixed bag of funny sketches and solid analysis of stuff like the Gaza genocide

Lady Izdihar is just lovely but I don't get her stuff on my feed that much.

CJ is great but he speaks very monotone. He's young but he knows his shit.

Also look up donttagrob, saint., and Ash

I struggle to understand the appeal of this app.

I like this person's work but the machine does not deign to show it to me much oh well blob-no-thoughts

We coulda had RSS, we coulda been an ungovernable web

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah this is the main struggle I have with TikTok. I have a few creators that I tend to always watch but almost never see. Sometimes I'll go search them just to make sure they are still active.

I also find it odd how the alg sort of gets stuck in themes. At one point I get Amazon Driver TikTok all day, then I'll get Deathcore for like 3 hours, followed by either socialist creators or lib/chud ragebait for a day. I sort of just want a mix of what I like. Which to be fair, TikTok is at least better at that the any of the Meta apps.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is still something I don't understand at all. I see people using TikTok a lot, and it's kinda spooky how they just get sucked into it.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

One reason I tried to avoid it was because of the way it brainrot algs your feed. My ex and my bff both tried to get me to use it for a long time and they finall did. I sort of regret it but also the alg does try sometimes to show you your interests. It's shit a lot too.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't do the short form stuff, I'll sometimes watch cat or cooking shorts on YouTube. I prefer ridiculously long form content lol

[–] roux@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

I actually get that. The 15 second videos that have 462 jump cuts stitched together drive me insane.

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

The appeal of the app is the ease of making videos, the infinite storage, the filters and other features and most importantly, the best video recommendation algorithm that it has ever been created. There is a joke that goes along the lines of β€œTikTok knew that I was queer before I knew it myself”

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You can use Google lens to search the creators by their faces in here

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

turn your phone off and touch grass, then come back and post links, liberal.

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Very elitist of you to assume that I live anywhere near grass.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure but who do people here recommend based on their preferences?

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

All the ones C tier and up haha

Edit: Oh you meant other people, nvm, I will let them reply

[–] roux@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

CJ is S tier thank you very much.

I'll tell Hugo you said hi. He's going to be on our next podcast episode.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I literally only recognize people at F. Also, I don't use tiktok

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

only recognizing those guys could be a bad sign...

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Jackson Hinkle is by far the most mainstream unless you count SpongeBob SquarePants, Che Guevara and Peter Griffin.

Have no clue who these people are otherwise.
