Links to document

Here are a few links we'll want to document, such as the announcements from the creator and fan responses. Creator announcements:

• https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY1a6qEp/ archive: https://perma.cc/73LM-E3HU
• https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY1aTJ21/ archive: https://perma.cc/Z39E-3CR9
• https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY1abqru/ (this one couldn't be archived for some reason... unsure why but I tried a couple of times - Castille)

Fan responses:

We may also want to find out if there's a way to archive those TikTok videos. Looks like a pretty broad range of fannish responses on tumblr, more negative on Reddit - we'll want to get some TikTok and Twitter responses as well and get many POVs. -- FBV (talk) 19:22, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Tiktoks from Cookies_and_Chaos

User:Cookies and chaos shared these fan response (and official promotional) tiktoks in the discord; i'm copying them over here for now, will try to help w/ transcribing/describing them for teh page soon. -- Quaelegit (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

• Video by someone with concerns: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeX8Ttq4/ archive: https://perma.cc/4BDD-QYC5
• https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeX8bGy3/ archive: https://perma.cc/TLZ4-P4DR
• This is the account of the person doing the marketing for the app (and looking back through the videos, I'm fairly sure the whole process was an ad tbh) https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeX8oxWj/ archive: https://perma.cc/GUF2-79L6
• Another tiktok with someone unhappy about it: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeXL1dTM/ archive: https://perma.cc/C5FL-QN8H
• A short positive response: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeX8wMeg/ archive: https://perma.cc/926G-GXAZ
• The comments under the videos done by the lore.fm are almost entirely positive as well for some positive responses (Apparently the account is deleting anything either negative or that they can't or don't want to answer, but there's not really a way to prove that.)

All the TikTok links here are now archived! Here's the link to the creator's takedown announcement https://www.tiktok.com/@unravel.me.now/video/7370089601660177710 and the archive: https://perma.cc/GUF2-79L6 as well since I didn't see them in the above links! It might be worth getting some screenshots from the comments of various videos as well which we can transcribe if the videos go down. Castille (talk) 00:38, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks for capturing all that!! I just took 16 screenshots of the comments on the take-down announcement vid, I think that captures most of the range of responses. will look through/share/uplaod them later. -- Quaelegit (talk) 01:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Also from Cookies_and_Chaos, a tumblr discussion: anyways, there's a new app... post by chaoisisbeauty23 (login-locked) -- Quaelegit (talk) 20:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
