RAMROD 117,004 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 TikTok really was everywhere this year. The app, known for its silly dancing videos, was the world’s most visited site on the internet in 2021, surpassing last year’s leader, Alphabet Inc. ’s Google, according to Cloudflare Inc., a cloud-infrastructure company that tracks internet traffic. The app, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., has had a rapid rise, hooking people with its secretive algorithm, which delivers video clips that it thinks you would like. It has turned dancing influencers Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio into household names, getting cast in TV shows, commercials and movies. Earlier this year, TikTok said it had more than one billion monthly users. Cloudflare said TikTok first started topping the charts as the world’s most visited site in February. But it grew in popularity in August, where it generally maintained the top spot for the rest of the year. To come up with its rankings, Cloudflare said it uses data it has on global internet traffic patterns, including app usage or when a person visits a site on a web browser. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tiktok-was-the-internets-most-visited-site-in-2021-even-beating-google-11640204147 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 31,097 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I'm very surprised it was more visited than Google but not surprised it's super popular. You can find absolutely everything on this app, all kind of center of interests for all ages. The app is very easy to use and all the videos are short so you just watch dozens without even noticing it. No jokes I sometimes found myself spending like 4 hours on this app...

berlinforme 5,385 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I think the difference could be that Google is some useful necessity for many people whereas they actually want to use Tiktok. Like, what's my incentive to actually spend more time than necessary on Google, a search engine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video is basically complaining about talentless, attractive people getting famous for little effort, but there have always been people like that? I’m sorry but I didn’t really see any points being made in the video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
