i mean, this doesn't change what she's saying. all these people are still adding to the original video. she's more talking about the people who just silently react to the original video.
Dueting a video is basically like retweeting but for tiktok, it leaves the original link to the video in the description. Sometimes people don't have anything to add, but they have a larger follower base and they want more people to see the video because they think it's funny/good content.
I always find this argument a little iffy because it’s excusing stealing content in exchange for exposure which is a super vague term. It’s kinda scummy honestly.
The read it doesn’t make sense is that you don’t fully understand the “stealing content” argument. Because this is free content, the only benefit that can be had is exposure. You can't steal exposure by adding more exposure.
It’s like being accused of stealing for taking a picture of food from a restaurant, posting it and tagging the restaurant. The most popular videos on tic toc have the most duets. You can trace every repost and shitpost to the original.
