However, that doesn\u2019t stop many critics of the platform for blasting its most popular videos, with some calling the viral dance clips and lip-syncing uploads as \u201cnothing.\u201d James Charles brought this up during his collab video with Rae, who responded by noting the effort TikTokkers put into their videos is no different from top YouTubers, and explained that the fifteen-second time limit puts a huge strain on their creative process. \u201cBeing on TikTok, I feel like people do have the idea that it is a bunch of nothing, and we\u2019re just sitting in our rooms making videos, and it\u2019s super easy,\u201d she began. \u201c\u2026Yeah, it may be a fifteen-second video, but it\u2019s like, you want to make it the best fifteen seconds that anyone\u2019s ever watched, you know?\u201d She went on to clarify that many TikTokkers aren\u2019t limiting themselves to one platform, either, noting that putting out content on multiple websites is a full-time career. \u201cIt goes with a lot of time in learning the dances, coming up with the dances, coming up with skits,\u201d she continued. \u201cYeah, TikTok may be a fifteen-second video, but it\u2019s like, when we\u2019re working on other platforms, as well\u2026 it\u2019s all a big job.\u201d (Topic begins at 7:13 for mobile readers) Rae isn\u2019t the only one who has come under fire from critics as of late, either; social media celeb Charli D\u2019Amelio has likewise spoken at length on the effects of TikTok stardom, claiming that she\u2019s even been yelled at by fans\u2019 angry moms and followed into bathroom stalls.
