[@unseenmolee]

@@kareemteniola3634 npc means "non playable character" and it came from video games for characters that are in the background/side characters. they are not as well coded and it can be funny to watch them glitch or be frozen in place or stuff like that. and they have very repetitive movements and thats what ppl are imitating, like the idea that you have a script you have to follow and limited movement. on one hand its kinda stupid and funny and i think ppl should do whatever they want as long as its not hurting anyone. but i really cant shake the feeling that this trend is really demoralizing and dehumanizing.. it just feels gross, not even cringey, but like these ppl are giving away their personhood to make money and that genuinely scares me

npc is an acronym for non-playable character, referring to the characters in video games that you cannot control or play as but can interact with

[@elmarosie]

Thnx

[@susanjeffries5108]

I didn't know what it stood for. That's so interesting because here we have non-playable characters that we can't control in a game but now we're able to "control" them in a live. WEIRD.

[@PileofAshes53]

You’re not really “controlling”them. They are responding to stimuli (money) in a predictable, set way. In a game, when you are interacting with NPCs they do the same thing. Let me give you an example. In a game where an NPC is a cat for example. Everyone who pets the cat(stimuli), hears the cat purr, if they kick the cat, the cat screms out “Meawwww!!” and if they give cat a treat, the cat performs a little trick of standing up on hind legs. Outside of those three options, the cat doesn’t really do anything else. Same thing with these people. You press one button with donation they go “beep!” Another button with donation, they go “boop!” After the live, they go about their day like normal. You’re not really controlling them for more than a few seconds while they’re live by injecting them with stimuli(money) to perform for you. To actually control someone, you have to get into their mind and take over. But that’s not what this is. You’re not in their mind. They perform the same for everyone in the same words and sounds. Just think of them as Furbys. Are you actually in control of a Furby, or is their internal software making them respond in predictable way to actions you are performing on them? You can’t control something that is mentally detached from you and furbys don’t even think so they can’t even be mentally attached to you.

[@alaerelifestyle]

I recently deactivated my TikTok account because the app just wasn't bringing me any value, and I believe it heavily capitalizes off of people's ignorance and insecurities. I only just recently learned about the NPC weirdness when a friend showed me a video. I think that there are so many other non-exploitative avenues for artists and business owners to reach their target audiences and if Tiktok goes away then good-riddance! Would love a part 2 of the video ✨

[@regeneratedwitch]

Let me get something straight. A kid shouldn’t spend hours a day on internet. I’ve seen with my own eyes franchises (games, movies, tv series etc) getting ruined because they try to market them so much to young people that they’re lackluster, vanilla, nowhere close to what they used to be. Same goes with the extreme censorship that’s been going on the past few years including KZbin. The way you describe this trend tho is really twist and disturbing if you think about it but since the creators don’t show “something” it’s considered ok. I can’t believe how someone thinks that pretending to be 15 to casually fish for fetisch money is ok just because you’re adult. As with everything that’s trendy, they try so hard to capitalize that they forget the initial purpose and demographic. I don’t know how someone would pay to see a human acting like an NPC. I mean could be part of a funny gig but dude… so much money?

[@mariamart_0]

I really hope the..U.S government and the UN bans the toxic drug “TikTok” it has been gone out of control and the boundaries has been crossed. TikTok is destroying our civilization and society due to dumbfuck influencers promoting unproductive and useless trends. It is corrupting Gen Z’s mind because of the over saturation and dopamine rush that these young people and young kids are getting it. TikTok is a somatic force and phenomenon when it comes to dragging the American masses. Americans are so fucking clueless and ignorant fat@sses. It is promoting woke ideology and causing a social disconnect between reality and digital reality. Nowadays the blurs are barely noticed. FUCK OFF TIKTOK, go fuck yourself “ByteDance LLC.”

Also just to make a correction NPC stands for Non Playable Character. Which in video games NPCs usually have the same catch phrases in rotation. That’s why they are repeating the same thing.

Yes please to a part two. I've never had TicTok, I know it's grown since it's inception (kids lip syncing) but I'm a KZbin girly. I feel there's a more personal connection to the creators and I prefer long term content, especially for reviews, as nearly everything on TicTok is "Amazing, ground breaking, "viral"( yet just released) When in reality, they're undisclosed Ads. I'll stay over here on KZbin, I already waste enough on Amazon prime lol (I do enjoy the movies on there, so congrats on the sponsor!) That's another thing, I'm happy to see content creators get sponsorships (and I can always skip them if I don't wish to watch) So, I don't understand why TicTok creators lie about sponsorships. I guess it's because every video is a sponsored one as TicTok pays so little, so they over hype the product and can't give an honest review as they won't get paid. I get it, but I don't want to be sold to constantly, whether it's via TicTok shop or disingenuous reviews.

It’s sad to be honest deleted the app but I honestly have not missed anything interesting. I am also not surprised by it either.

[@metal_affairs]

Tik tok is going to die out just as fast as vine did. Because people will be searching for the next best thing

[@elmarosie]

That's how it is

[@makaila8860]

hopefully there's no more dumb apps like tiktok

[@electrical829]

The amazon sponsorship!! Toni finally starting to get the attention she deserves!

[@ToniBryanneTV]

I was SHOOK when they reached out!! I am so blessed and thankful. Looking forward to many more opportunities in the future!! Thank you for all the support😢❤

[@thecoolintroverttv8381]

​@@ToniBryanneTV🥺🙌 happy for you Toni

[@dorienengelen]

I used to love TikTok back in 2019-2020 but it is definitly changed since then. Now it is all about link in bio, etc.

[@denelliarichards4007]

Yes do a part two please and please talk about people fyp is all about getting a man or getting woman or how should you live your life or how you should dress for man

[@hope.4298]

I love this bob!!❤

[@bear3279]

u in green with the bob is 💚💚💚 giving mommy earth

[@filmsuga92]

I can say the same about KZbin. I miss KZbin. It hasn’t been the same since 2009 to 2012. I still like tiktok for the hidden gems in Chicago. Home goods, DIYs, etc.

[@ivydune4185]

I think apps start by luring people with the idea of organic content, everyone can post anything and be rewarded and when they have a large hooked base they change it to a shop. All apps went the same route and even google is just commercial content. I'm not even talking about "sponsored" pages, I'm talking about the first pages of results are all commercially driven. For bloggers, if you're not a big brand or a very old established blogger, you barely or hardly show up in the results. Even unrelated quotes from google books show up instead of relevant blogs. Lists, lists, lists and top x, top y, top z. Sell sell sell. Products and services. Everything "free" is a sample of a "buy our service", "try our service for x days", "no more credits, upgrade" ...

[@drjekelmrhyde]

Alot of you younger people must don't know how stupid KZbin use to be and still is. KZbinrs are beginning to sound like Boomers when they go on rants about Gen Y(millennials). Us from Gen X can see this in real time, that the same stuff Boomers would say is silly with Gen Y, now Gen Y is saying the same shiat about Gen Z.

[@orls9068]

I don't use it, seen what it done to my co workers so decided not to download it 😂

[@fthesupremecourt8404]

You're gorgeous!!!!!

[@melindajohnson5794]

I permanently deleted TikTok 5 months ago, I can admit in the beginning it was boring. And no joking, I was actually considering to make a TikTok account again, but after seeing what TikTok has become from your video, I won't activate it again lol

[@jamillawebb3567]

I am just blown away and never connected these dots!!!!! Wow this video was an excellent analysis. I watched a video with adults (mostly in their 20s) who were used as child content creators by their families for family based KZbin channels and all of the women talked about not only how their mental health and self esteem suffered because their parents (mostly their moms) forced cameras on them all the time but they also shared that they ended up being stalked and harassed by men (when they were still children) who knew their names and personal business because they subscribed to and watched those family channels. I never realized how risky it is for kids to be on those channels nor how many pedophiles watch them. We live in a sick world.

[@ChasityR17]

I’ve never had TikTok and don’t see the appeal. Everything that goes viral on there gets reposted to IG anyway. I have gotten great restaurant recommendations from people who use TikTok though so there’s that

[@devantiajordan1343]

Very solid vid. An even crazy part is the fact that Tik Tok is owned by ByteDance, which is based in China, who has the incentive to do harm to the US. If Tik Tok shop harms small american business owners, that's lost opportunity. Plus the subtle degeneracy that's connected to the npc culture.

[@Itski2life]

People keep saying she created that when the Asian girls were who I saw doing it first because I use to find it scary. Either way it’s wild out here.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

She popularized it for sure at least to the American market

[@amarulee210]

Dude yessss I wish I never deleted my old KZbin channel I had from when I was like 10 😭 I had like 500 subs which was a lot back then

[@ToniBryanneTV]

Look you can always restart. That’s what I did lol

[@manuelmontalvo3]

I’ve been waiting for this particular video 😱

[@KiaraWilliamsX]

OF, tik tok, the hub…disgusting it’s psychologically harmful too. But if we say that we’re slut shaming or whatever. That’s too fine a line so nah, I’m not with it.

[@plusgirlbworld]

I joined tiktok in 2018 and i really loved it. It was a lot of emo people and just a bunch of cosplayers. It was so fun

[@makaila8860]

right. now its weird and it caused everyone to act the same

[@plusgirlbworld]

yes very inauthentic!! @@makaila8860

[@absolutelyridiculous6743]

I refuse to buy TikTok promoted stuff. 😤

[@erica_rae91]

During the first few minutes of this video I was like okayyyyy this trend seems like a weird sex thing, it's giving Eugenia Cooney vibes when she'd move that big box for her twitch fans and get tips. Super weird. Like a kink thing maybe? Idk but glad you saw it too!

[@alyssaloy8664]

Tik tok zombiefies everyone who comes into contact with it. Tik tok was all fun & games for a while, but I realized I changed so much because of tik tok. I know I make my own decisions & an app doesn't have the power to change me. With that, as a 23 year old well into young adulthood now, tik tok has been able to influence my thoughts, behaviors, & actions with how programed the algorithm is. I don't know what exactly it is about tik tok because we have had social media for a while now (a little over a decade), and yet, tik tok seems to be behind most of the issues going on

[@lefromthecity]

Yeah the moment I saw it I was confused, it was very obviously cam-girl type work but on TikTok lol

[@dianan.1401]

TikTok is trying to become like Amazon. I think I heard an episode on WSJ podcast that they may eventually try getting warehouses to ship from. Almost like Amazon is trying to become more like TikTok and TT trying to become more like Amz.

[@NicoleTheAlchemist]

It's literally like watching a Black Mirror episode 😳

[@nbowyer90]

Found your channel today and I’m LOVING your content 😍

[@ToniBryanneTV]

Awww I’m so glad you found the channel🫶🏽 thank you so much!!!

[@Colourfulmelanin]

Was the person in the tiktok video trying to clean a toilet or make an atomic bomb? Most toilet cleaning products have a really strong smell and mixing all of them together could cause her toilet to smell rancid.

[@stephanie7625]

The background in this video is so nice and you look beautiful!

[@roseegure]

I love this background too 😊

[@azaria4447]

My fyp on TikTok is so bad that I barely want to watch anything anymore. The algorithm is too catered now.

[@Oyasavvi]

The plane lady🤣

[@ToniBryanneTV]

My favorite video for “jokes”😂, but I seriously believe she saw something frfr lol

[@benzotheboss]

Please do a part 2. I agree with you. Tiktok is on a downward spiral.

[@dortaziacharles232]

I want a part 2!! I love all the topics you discuss

[@mianicole6135]

this is so refreshing to hear the tiktok shop is getting sooo annoyingggg

[@elisa-beary]

Part twoooo!!🎉 this was fascinating. I don’t use any social media aside from this so it’s super interesting.

[@unseenmolee]

i really really hate the npc shit. its dehumanizing. literally "non playable character" you are acting like some code in a computer game... how is that NOT dehumanizing?? it makes me sad like its actually depressing to me

[@unseenmolee]

calling it sex work is a stretch imo. its not sex work because theres no sex lol. i get what your saying but i dont think its accurate. sex workers deserve respect, but comparing them to this cringey ass bs is disrespectful imo

[@mariamart_0]

We live in the “New Brave World”. That’s it, let’s burn this planet and the damn smartphones. I hate this generation. Screw Gen Z and it’s weird ass fucking world we live in.
