Is TikTok OVER?! Your favorite songs may be MUTED now thanks to UMG...

By
Ahh, UMG. (Universal Music Group) They love enforcing their copyright, and this time, it's gone so far that MAJOR artists like Taylor Swift, Drake, and others from them have had their sounds MUTED on TikTok and are no longer available! Companies are now fighting a huge war with AI (especially over the use of copyrighted material in its training) and it's, complicated. This is MAJOR for TikTok, and it could mean two things: either small/indie artists get a chance to grow on TikTok, or the app begins to die from a lack of music!

We'll find out, but after a nearly 4 year run of being popular (pushing 5 years, especially since TikTok was already growing in 2019, pre-pandemic), maybe it is time for the app to, you know, pass the torch to another?

It's safe to say that the age of "TikTok songs" is now over. I feel bittersweet for that.

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8,

IT'S DAY 3 OF MY 2019 FEBRUARY VACATION!

You're probably wondering, where's DAY 2? Well, let's just say that Day 2, was a snow day! We went nowhere! And so, Day 2 was not noteworthy for a blog post. So we're skipping Day 2 and going straight to Day 3. What happened today: (2/19/19) We had plans to go to Berkshire East. That would've been a lot of fun. However, by the time we even got to the exit for Berkshire East, it was like an hour before they closed. So we decided to do that tomorrow (2/20/19) and went to Yankee Candle instead. That was good, but it could've been better due to me almost losing my diabetes kit. (Luckily, it was in the car!) Now, I've had some good experiences with Yankee Candle in the past, especially in 2013. Now, a little flashback to Nov 30, 2013: Mom and I visited Yankee Candle on Nov 30, 2013. When we got there, it was a cold morning and we watched Santa come down from the sky. That was fun! And then, we had some good food and sweets, lots of fun, and a little Candy Crush
