🐹 Hamsterdam Weekly TikTok Gems: Bonus Content for Part 67 (7/15-7/21 22, 2024) 💎

By Ethan Lazuk

Peek inside my FYP as we journey into the personalization of the TikTok algorithm!

Welcome! 🐹 💎

If you’re new here, this is a collection of my favorite TikTok content found during the last week. 🙌

These are the TikToks I wanted to put in Hamsterdam Part 67 (a weekly SEO news recap) but didn’t couldn’t wouldn’t shouldn’t, because they’d slow down the page’s load time, given all its other social embeds.

📢 PSA: This page may still time out on mobile. Scroll at your leisure. 📱 🐢

Here’s a little more context. 👇

Every Sunday-ish, I publish Hamsterdam, a weekly recap of SEO and AI news, plus other cool content I think is relevant to the community.

I’d originally planned to put a noindex meta tag on these TikTok pages, but they’re actually popular in Search, sometimes!

The irony is that I spend about 10-20 hours on the normal Hamsterdam recaps, and about 20 minutes on these. They get nearly the same engagement. 😂

It’s hard work scrolling TikTok for 💎s. I guess there’s value in having someone do that for you. 🤝

Without further ado, here’s the TikTok content I found notable this week.

Note: this content may not be super recent. It’s just what I came across this week. (And some I added deliberately for depth.)

I’ve also put subheadings by category. 🤛 Enjoy! 🔥

• Marketing 📣
• AI, ML, etc. 🤖
• Dev & design 👾
• Music 🎧
• Mindfulness 🧘
• Sports ⛳️
• Humor 😭

📣 Marketing & media

I don’t really use TikTok to engage with SEO content, but I find some good general marketing content (or specific to other channels) there. I’ve also added some business-related content this week.

Instagram Perfection from @adidasfootball here! Jude Bellingham’s bicycle kick in the 95th minute was an all time moment, but figuring out how to celebrate it without showing off their competitor (Nike) is hard to do! This simple picture is worth a thousand words. Well done. #euro2024 #englandfootball

🤖 AI, ML, etc.

I also view a lot of AI-related videos (both serious and humorous). Here’s what I found notable this week.

👾 Dev & design

Here’s content related to website or other coding and dev work (often with a generative-AI overlap, these days), as well as web or app design trends.

🎧 Music

I’m an avid music listener. Here are videos that struck a chord with me. (Note: these are often best experienced with “cans” (🎧) on.)

🧘 Mindfulness

I practice mindfulness meditation and have found it helpful in my daily life. Here are videos on the topic (or related to it) that I would consider credible.

⛳️ Sports

I grew up playing sports, but my favorite content showcases the human (and intellectual) sides of it.

@africanstream

Sports stars are told to express themselves on the field of play, but it’s a whole different ball game when they want to express themselves on social media. Here, Boston Celtic’s forward, Jaylen Brown, outlines how athletes’ thoughts are kept carefully in check. They’re given meticulous media training to make sure they don’t say the ‘wrong thing.’ And if they do step out of line with their views, they’ll lose endorsements. Hearing this from a player of Jaylen’s status, definitely gives it extra weight. Not only is he a 2024 NBA champion and Most Valuable Player (MVP), he’s also deeply involved in social justice and community activism. On top of that, he’s an academic. He majored in biology at the University of California, and took graduate-level classes in philosophy. So, now you know that, don’t be surprised to hear him talk in this clip about Panopticism. In case you’re wondering, it’s a social theory that states we’re all being monitored by authorities. And Jaylen says social media has become their latest watchtower. Do you agree? #NBA #Champion #Athlete #Basketball #SocialConsciousness #Philosophy #SocialJustice #Powerful #Speech #fyp

😭 Humor

I removed the humor section from the main Hamsterdam recaps, but rest assured there’s plenty of laugh-worthy content on TikTok. This is just what I found funny (which means it definitely isn’t).
