I'm glad these people are doing what they love. I'm equally as glad that I don't need to worry about them coming for my job in 15 years.
我很高兴看到这些人都在做着自己喜欢的事情，同样让我感到高兴的是，我完全不用担心他们会在接下来15年里抢走我的工作。

Hopefully outsourcing and automation won't take your job either.
但愿你的工作不会被外包和自动化所取代。
You're probably going to be working for them tho
不过你可能会在将来替他们工作。
Don’t have to pay for their student loans either!
而且家长还不用替他们支付学生贷款！
@rgr010 in 15 years most of these people are going to be as irrelavent as millenials are now
@rgr010 这些人中的大多数都将在15年内变得无关紧要，正如现在的千禧一代。
No one is gunning for your forklift or manufacturing job bro.
兄dei，根本没有人想抢你的叉车司机或者制造业工作。
u guys are all salty
你们这些人真是太酸了
I've always thought the same thing. Even Youtubers, I mean there's no longevity in this. At least my crappy 15/hour job I can keep for as long as I want. These "influencers" once they are out of their early 20s, their audience will also have grown up and they'll become irrelevant. That's if TikTok is still around in 10 years. Apps come and go all the time, look at Vine.
我一直也这么想。即便是油管UP主的寿命也是有限的。我那份时薪15美元的工作虽然糟糕，但是我能想干多久就能干多久。而这些“网红”一旦过了25岁，他们的受众也会跟着一起长大，届时这些网红便会无人问津。而且这一切还是建立在TikTok能在10年后继续存在的前提上的。应用程序总是来来去去，看看当初的Vine就知道了。
In 15 years you'll still be breaking your you know what to make a living while they'll be retired on their estates.
15年后的你依旧在绞尽脑汁地寻思该如何谋生，而他们却已经在自己的豪宅里退休了。
You’re right, especially since AI will take your job WAY sooner.
你说得对，因为你在被他们抢走工作之前很可能就已经被AI取代了。
I truly feel bad for the millions of kids now days who spend their free time watching other people's lives on a screen instead of going out and living their own
我真心为如今成千上万的孩子们感到难过，他们将自己的空闲时间花在透过屏幕观看别人的生活这种事情上，而不是出门去过自己的生活。
Watchu watching rn
那你现在又在看什么呢？
Damn I m offended
靠，我感觉受到了冒犯
Depressing future
令人沮丧的未来
It gives young people something to do. If school shooters were making TikToks instead of shooting people, this country would be better off
TikTok让年轻人有事可做。如果校园枪手去拍摄TikTok视频而非去开枪杀人的话，这个国家也能变得更好。
So many young kids/pre teens are like this. Even in my family. It’s so fuckin sad to see them literally waste their childhood.
如今有很多青少年都是这样的，甚至我们家那些孩子也是如此。看着他们这样浪费自己的童年真是太tmd让人难过了。
I'm so glad I was born and grew up in the 90s. I could not imagine having these kids mindsets.
我为自己出生并成长于90年代感到开心。我实在无法想象和这些孩子拥有一样的心态会是怎样一种体验。
I'm even happier I was born in the mid 1950s. I look at my son and adult grandkids and although they have their degrees and make money legally but something's just off about them especially my grandkids. I think the last generation with a soul was kids born in the 1970s.
出生在上世纪50年代的我感到更加开心。我的儿子和成年孙辈们都上过大学并有一份合法的工作，但是他们真的有些不对劲，特别是我的那些孙辈们。我认为最后一代有灵魂的孩子出生在上世纪70年代。
But you know, we did all sorts of absolutely disturbing stuff in the 90s. Also it was way more dangerous, as a boy in a traditional masculine environment of the 90s, I had to fight all the time and prove that I'm strong, accept any challenge, even if it was dangerous for me etc. Everything had it's pro and cons.
但是你们知道的，我们在90年代也做过很多让人感到非常不安的事情。而且我们干的那些事情更加危险。作为一个生活在90年代传统男子汉环境中的男孩，我必须一直和人打架以证明自己的强大，我必须接受任何的挑战，即便它们会让我身陷险境。所有事情都有利有弊吧。

The word "influencer" exists because these people cannot pinpoint their skill or contribution to society. If they could, they would be called writers, painters, architects, composers, filmmakers, scientists, professors, doctors - i. e. the people who actually influence the world and better the life of mankind.
“网红”这词儿之所以会出现就是因为这些家伙无法确切说明自己的技能或是对社会的贡献。如果他们真有本事的话，他们会被称呼为作家，画家，建筑师，作曲家，电影制作人，科学家，教授，医生等等，就是那种能够真正影响这个世界并改善人类生活的人。

“Content Creator” and “Entertainer” could also be used though. At least today, serving free entertainment to people is greatly appreciated and is just like creating a TV show.. Sure a lot of it is garbage, but they still can contribute in SOME way
不过他们也会称呼自己是“内容创作者”和“艺人”啊。至少在如今，为人们提供免费的娱乐依旧是非常受欢迎的，就好像是在制作一个电视节目。这些内容确实大部分都是垃圾，但是他们仍然可以通过某种方式做出贡献。
I'm gonna be honest, I think this is the worst possible decision a young adult could make. You are placing your livelihood, your basic needs, in the hands of an uncontrollable algorithm. You may argue, "Well, YouTubers do basically the same thing, how is that any different?" With Youtube being longform content, creators cultivate and nurture their own community. If Youtube somehow crashes or shuts down or changes, these creators can very well move to another platform while maintaining the same audience base. With this type of "content", you are making nothing of your own. None of your own dances, songs, even showing off your personality. No community is created around who you are besides maybe your looks, which will fade with time. What are these kids going to do when they're 27 and start to get wrinkles? What are they going to do when the advertisers at TikTok and their marketing teams refresh the platform, and change the algorithm to suit longform content, or original creation? This lacks foresight entirely, and is a decision that could only be made by those who are doomed to never fully mature.
说句实在话，我觉得这是一个年轻人能够做出的最糟糕的决定。你把自己的生计和基本需求全盘交到一个不可控的算术手上。你可能会说“油管做的基本上也是同样的事情，两者之间有任何不同吗？”由于油管是长视频内容平台，创作者可以培养出一个属于自己的社区。如果油管崩溃，关闭或是发生变化的话，那么这些创作者完全可以转移到其他平台并保住自己原先的受众。
而TikTok网红制作的则是完全不属于他们自己的内容。他们没有自己的舞蹈和歌曲，甚至没有彰显他们自己的个性。除了外貌以外，没有任何人会围绕你建立一个社区，然而你的外貌是会随着时间的推移而褪色的。当这些孩子到了27岁开始长皱纹时，他们还能做些什么呢？当TikTok的广告商和营销团队开始更新平台，改变算法以迎合长篇或是原创内容时，他们又该何去何从？他们这么做实在太缺乏远见了，只有那些永远都无法成熟的人才会做出这样的决定。
Honestly this is actually a huge opportunity for all of them to make some money ,get a financial adviser,learn how to invest it and open other work opportunities if they use their platform wisely and responsibly . This is not necessarily A bad thing.
老实说，如果他们能够明智和负责地使用这些平台的话，那么这对他们而言实际上是一个巨大的机会，他们可以借此赚到钱，然后聘用财务顾问，学习如何投资，并获得一些其他的工作机会。这并不一定就是一件坏事。
They are finessing other peoples attention for money, the real losers are all the people consuming TikTok
他们在利用他人的关注赚钱，真正的失败者是那些观看tiktok视频的人们。
Kudos to the interviewer for being non judgmental and asking the right questions. It felt more like a dad being genuinely curious about what his kids are doing which was refreshing to see
向这名采访者致敬，他并没有对这些年轻人持有偏见，并且也提出了那些正确的问题。他给人的感觉就像是一位真心好奇自己的孩子在做些什么的父亲。他的采访让人赏心悦目。
as a teen who’s on tiktok a lot, it’s so bizarre seeing them actually plan out such simple videos
作为一个经常上TikTok的青少年，看到他们拍摄这么简单的视频都需要提前策划实在让我匪夷所思。

I don't blame these influencers. I blame the society that made this possible. All we did was create another avenue for people to become rich and famous. Tbh, they're no different than Hollywood elites but they have the ability to reach out to our youth and influence their career paths.
我不会去怪罪这些网红。我要怪的是让这一切成为可能的社会。我们所做的不过是为人们创造了另一条致富成名的途径罢了。说句实在话，他们和好莱坞的那群演艺圈精英并没有什么区别。但是问题在于他们真的有能力接触到我们的孩子并影响他们的职业道路啊。
Being a TikToker doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t get an education. There are a lot of Youtubers and TikTokers who go to college and still do what they love. Honestly, I’ll be happy for these people if they will never have to look for a job and will be able to live off of TikTok. But what I’ve learned is, you always need another plan to rely on. And getting an education, doesn’t only mean becoming an adult, it also means experiencing and learning what the world has to offer. It means being given the tools to create and shape our future who will one day be the future of the world. It means having the opportunity to do something big one day, and no one says you can’t be a TikToker at the same time.
成为一名抖音博主并不意味着你就该放弃教育。很多少上了大学的油管和抖音博主仍然在做着他们喜欢的事情。老实说，如果这些人永远不用找工作，可以依靠TikTok养活自己的话，那么我会为他们感到高兴。但是我的经历告诉我，你总是需要另一个备用方案。接受教育并不仅仅意味着成为一名成年人，它还能让你体验和学习到这个世界为我们提供的那些东西，它意味着我们能够被赋予那些能让我们创造和塑造未来的工具。它意味着我们在将来可能会成就一番大的事业，不过没有人说你不可以在上大学的同时成为一名tiktok博主。
As a young person, it's good to know that they are doing what they seem to be interested in and making a huge amount of money at this young age, for now. It's totally their personal decision, and nobody should judge them for that as long as it's not illegal. At the end of the day, they are the ones that will be fully responsible for their own action consequences. For those who are parents out there, social media nowadays is filled with a mixed bag of social trends, most of them are just misleading and shallow without any meaningful educational premise imo. Therefore, family connection and education should be exceedingly emphasized to effectively and timely counteract any bad consequences that might potentially be imposed on kids by the so-called "influencers."
作为一个年轻人，我很高兴得知他们似乎在从事自己喜欢的事情，并且还能年纪轻轻就赚到一大笔钱（至少是在现在）。这完全是他们的个人选择，只要他们不违法，没有任何人有资格去评判他们。毕竟到了最后，他们终将会为自己的行为承担所有的后果。而我想对观看这个视频的家长们说的是，如今的社交媒体上充斥着各种各样的社会趋势。在我看来，其中大多数都是肤浅且存在误导性的，它们没有任何的教育意义。因此家庭和教育需要更多地发挥作用，以有效并及时的抵消这些所谓的“网红们”施加给孩子们的不良影响。
I’m not into TikTok but from what I’ve seen, the best content is from people who have careers and share their skills on the platform, like cobblers, or chefs. I’ve never understood the appeal of generic people just being good looking and making posts of themselves…existing…
我对TikTok不感兴趣，不过据我所知，最出色的内容往往是那些从事某些专业工作的人所分享的技能知识，比如鞋匠或者厨师。我从不理解那些仅仅靠着好看的外貌在社交媒体展示自己的人们有什么吸引力。

I'm worried for people who are getting influenced by these influencers
我很担心那些被这群网红影响到的人们。

Don't worry bro.. tik tok is banned in India...
别担心了，兄嘚。TikTok在印度被禁了...
But all these so called influencers shifted to Instagram Reels.
然后那些所谓的网红都转移到Instagram Reels上去了。
Honestly, they're choosing this over student loan debt and college, I can't say I blame them.
他们选择TikTok而非背着学生贷款去上大学。老实说，我没法怪罪他们。
When i was a young and teenager, i was riding bikes, playing basketball and other street games with my friends, personal conversations with my friends, adults and elderly in our community.. it is just so sad how social media influenced the kids today.. it seems like they are more superficial and materialistic..some kids today have depression.. too much pressure from society and social media.. hope there will come a time they realize that their value and worth is not base on the likes of people they don’t even know..
当我还是个青少年时，我会和我的朋友们去骑行，打篮球或者一起玩其他街头游戏。我会和朋友以及社区里的成人、老年人交谈。社交媒体对如今的孩子们造成的影响实在太让人感到悲伤了。他们似乎变得更加肤浅和物质了，有些孩子还因此患上了抑郁症。社会以及社交媒体给了他们太多的压力...希望有朝一日他们能够意识到自己的价值并不建立在那些陌生人对他们的点赞...
