Despite this, shock | As TikTok has become very popular, it has also become known for screamers uploaded on the platform, reaching over thousands of views. Despite this, shock video [[1444]], a suicide video of a Russian user named Gleb Korablyov, was the first to be popularized by TikTok for its shock value. It has also started a DoNotGoogle trend, where users refrain from searching for any disturbing stuff on Google, mostly shock sites and videos. | ||
The earliest TikTok screamer was [[TW-Jumpscare]], a video that depicts a girl doing a worm before noticing a huge thud from downstairs and someone knocking on her backroom door. Right after, the girl quickly headbutts the screen with a scream from the survival horror game franchise ''[[wikipedia:Five Nights at Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's]]''. This screamer is similar to [[Impossible Backflip]]. On May 19, 2020, a video without a caption or name was uploaded to TikTok by Russian user artem_mokrushin. The video depicts a woman sitting on the mattress and a man turning off the light before she finds a figure during which the light is turned off. After being asked to do so, the man turns on and off the light two times, at which point the figure appears and quickly approaches the screen. The video had received over 20 million views until a Twitter user, BenjaminBell, tweeted the video with the caption "2020 in One TikTok". It has since become known to be called by that name.<ref><nowiki>https://twitter.com/benjaminbell/status/1319111344843558912?lang=en</nowiki></ref> | The earliest TikTok screamer was [[TW-Jumpscare]], a video that depicts a girl doing a worm before noticing a huge thud from downstairs and someone knocking on her backroom door.
