Tik Tok, known as Douyin in China, started in September 2016 and was widely spread in CHina. Now, it becomes one of teenager’s most favorable apps. The original idea of Tik Tok is to represent a scene of lip-syncing song by the user for no longer than 15 seconds. While with the teenagers around the world were impressed by many challenges they faced, the application spread with varied content.
According to iResearch, a major Chinese researcher that provides the country’s internet economic results, in 2017 the market size for short videos was 5.73 billion yuan ($890 million), while the world market has the potential to reach 35.68 billion yuan (%5.57 billion) in three years. And it recently announced its global monthly active users had reached 500 million in more than 150 countries and regions.
Though the app catches on now, a problem seems more and more apparent. Douyin can be quite addictive-- many people just want to enjoy a few minutes at first, but end up watching several hours’ worth of videos.

Tik Tok, known as Douyin in China, has a great vogue among Chinese teenagers. However, the rapid expansion of its market size also bring about several problems, which shouldn't be neglected.
There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon. First and foremost, Douyin is a good platform to promote free exchange of ideas and information. By watching the latest short videos, the young can keep pace with the times. More importantly, ordinary people have the opportunity to become Internet celebrities in Douyin, which is quite appealing to many young people. Last but not least, young people are more open-minded, so they are willing to accept something new.
From my perspective, we should treat Douyin with caution. To begin with, although Douyin is fun and relaxing and has become an important source of information, it can mislead teenagers and lead to Internet addiction. Exposed to this app for a long time, they may mimic the behavior they see and can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
