Quick. Name a social media platform that has been outlawed in numerous states. Now name a social media platform that is doing everything it can to promote its ubiquity. If you answered “TikTok” to both challenges, you would be right.
Never before in the short history of social media has one platform been so singled out as TikTok. As of April, 34 out of 50 states have banned its use among state employees. Montana has gone so far as to ban it completely for anyone and everyone, so please don’t think of visiting the Treasure State and posting your reels. You may just be fined.
Of course, Montana is going to face huge legal challenges on this one. And never mind that you could probably dodge their bullet by using a VPN on your phone. It’s little different from dealing with the Chinese firewall.
ICYMI, the controversy is over the fact that TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company with rumored ties to the Communist Party there. That’s code for saying TikTok may be a national security risk, even if you’re just posting reels of your dog doing tricks.
To combat this, ByteDance will more than gladly take on legal challenges, as well as bolster its presence everywhere, like at the gas pump. Remember when we were told not to use our phones while fueling because we night cause an explosion? Yeah. Apparently that’s a non-starter these days, because TikTok has partnered with GSTV (Gas Station TV) to launch new videos we can watch during the five minutes we’re left checking our email and socials anyway. QR codes and a call to action seek to bring viewers into not just TikTok, but the brands paying to advertise there.
And it is pure genius, security risks or not. I bet the other social media platforms are kicking themselves for not jumping on this one. Think about it. When else do we all have a short amount of dead time that could otherwise be used for marketing purposes? This is the kind of thinking from the old days (meaning before COVID) that airlines followed with their in-flight magazines, as well as SKyMall catalogs. Those days were even better, because they had captive audiences locked into their seats for sometimes hours at a time.
The GSTV ads are 20 seconds, even shorter than the reels we see on TikTok. GSTV claims 116 million unique viewers each month, which speaks to the appeal of their platform. The ability to share these adverts makes them worth even more, because they can now reach even more eyeballs.
The strategy is nothing new for TikTok, which has also inked deals with Reach TV for airports, and Screenvision inside movie theatres. The goal is to be even more ubiquitous than Facebook, Google, or any of the other major ad-supported platforms.
Now let’s think about some applications. While virtually anything could be promoted at the pump, including simply planting seeds for products that might be purchased much later, I see great potential for items that could be sold in the next few minutes. Imagine the fast food joint next door promoting a meal deal, or a nearby bar advertising its Happy Hour.
Think about it. You’re already out in your car, and you use it to convey a quick and easy purchase, which may or may not have been planned. In some cases, it could divert you; in others, it could be a speed bump that interrupts whatever it is you are doing.
The major limitation to this method—which is good but not perfect—is that we do not purchase gasoline on a daily basis, unless you happen to drive 300-400 miles a day. Travelers along the freeway are one thing, but locals are probably not going to hit the gas station more than once a week, and maybe even less, depending upon the daily commute.
Still, I commend TikTok for finding new ways to spread its wings, because given the current state of affairs at the state and federal level, they should be nervous—and they are. While I hate the notion of a US firewall blocking selected sites, it is a possibility. It would be unprecedented—and I promised never to use that word after the pandemic and all its unprecedentedness—but stranger things have happened.
Meanwhile, fill ‘er up and look for these screens at the pump. They’re calling your name.
squeeze my hands at back of the taxi, but , would be enough if I could never give you peace?
Eu me sento sobre a luz da minha paciência, esperando por um sinal que você não enviou, suas mãos abandonaram a minha e o vazio se tornou a única coisa palpável aos meus sentimentos.
Eu espero por um sinal, eu errei? Errei ao contar quem eu era.
Eu te assustei? Pela perspectiva de saber que meu mundo era diferente do seu.
Eu te afastei, empurrando seu corpo para o desfiladeiro das almas que amei? Ou você quem fez?
Joguei fora o maldito brilho labial, não uso mais o seu perfume favorito. Mudei as cores do meu dia.
Eu te dei meu melhor.
PARE, VOCÊ(eu) ESTA(estou) ME(te) PERDENDO
não foi o suficiente, EU(você) NUNCA TE(me) DARIA PAZ
eu sento no banco de trás, chorando como uma criança no ombro de uma amiga, sua imagem reflete atrás das luzes vermelhas, ela em seus braços, é uma ferida profunda.
(não é fácil amar alguém pela imagem que você desenha dela)
i still find it incredibly funny that the only reason i started to watch critical role was because i worked at gamestop during the time marisha ray was one of the hosts of gamestoptv (the in store marketing loop they play) and she was my favorite host and i missed hearing her so i just started listening to it and now its one of my biggest hyperfocuses
If you give me a gazillion dollars and tell me to follow my dreams, I'm just going to make telenovelas, Muppet shows, and mid-2000s basic cable SciFi schlock for the little screens on gas station pumps.
Do it! I dare you! Watch me turn GSTV into the new Quibi. I will do it without a second thought.

TikTok will start appearing on more gas station screens through a new partnership with GSTV, a video network provider for fuel retailers. This is an interesting take on user-generated content now possibly being shown while customers are buying gas. Imagine having that reach by being on a platform like Tiktok

5 दिन की बच्ची को पीरियड्स आए तो मां बच्ची को लेकर अस्पताल पहुंची – GSTV
पुरुषों का शरीर महिलाओं की तरह जटिल नहीं होता है। जैसे ही लड़कियां यौवन में प्रवेश करती हैं, उनके शरीर में कई बदलाव आते हैं, जिनमें सबसे बड़ा परिवर्तन मासिक धर्म है। आमतौर पर जब लड़कियां 12-13 साल की होती हैं। इसके बाद उन्हें पीरियड्स होने लगते हैं।
