############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ckcYAbdGl8

TikTok promotes overconsumption - that's a sentence you'll no doubt have heard at some point over the past couple of years. It started with TikTok fashion, then with TikTok beauty trends and food and drink (remember WaterTok?) and it has slowly made its way into homeware. Judging by the rate at which BookTok is growing, I think literature is next. • Chapters: • 00:00 - TikTok is a selling machine • 01:05 - the BookTok boom and book haul culture • 04:04 - BookTok is not all bad • 04:36 - but it's not all good either • 06:18 - everyone wants to read MORE • 10:34 - reading = virtue • 12:03 - reading also = entertainment • 13:10 - the environmental impact • 15:19 - an ode to personal libraries and unread books • 17:15 - BookTok burnout • 19:44 - remember libraries? • 21:21 - TikTok is starting a publishing company • 22:50 - the TikTokification of literature • 24:52 - thank you for watching love you • Videos mentioned • Jordan Theresa - • the aftermath of tiktok fashion (the ... • Mina Le - • tiktok is kind of bad for fashion • Alice Cappelle - • fast homeware is the new fast fashion. • Tiffany Ferg - • DEINFLUENCING home decor | Internet... • Jack Edwards - • how to talk about books, understand w... • Elliot Sang - • Gen Z Needs Public Libraries • Gabi Belle - • The TikTokification of Music • Articles mentioned • https://www.theguardian.com/books/202... • https://mashable.com/article/diverse-... • https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/bo... • https://bookriot.com/tiktok-publishin... • https://www.theguardian.com/commentis... • https://www.thebookseller.com/comment... • The TikTok creator asking whether books are the new fast fashion is Kaelyn Grace Apple - ‪@KaelynGraceApple‬ both on TikTok and here on YouTube. • personal book cellar article • https://sentiers.media/dispatch-14-a-... • thank you so much for watching, please subscribe!!!! • #booktok #booktube
