Hey there my friends out there in Social Media Land and especially our TikTok Followers. So I am of mixed opinion on this announcement because while I am absolutely excited to share the news about reaching yet another “50” videos, I am less than enthused to share that it has taken me almost four months to do it. I have only myself to blame and I’ll admit that I got a little disenchanted with the platform based on a number of the posts being held back from the general feed for no apparent reason. I was getting into a good rhythm or two or more a day if it was warranted and I even gave a lot of people some love when I saw their hard work in the feed. However when a clip I really need to get the traction gets two or three views in several hours I know its holding me back for some reason and there is never a notice for you to address. The clip just doesn’t move and forces some extra legwork. The downside of me slowing down the regular input is that I am so many more videos behind but with all this outlined, let’s get back to work and share video #1100, a clip from the Spring Affordable Art Fair with our brief some the Suo Mei M50/Fucean Gallery.

So here we are again my friends and I am hoping that this finds you well. I’m back to share a little update about the KPM Adventures in TikTok as another “50” post plateau on the platform has been reached. It’s been just shy of two months since we last discussed this stuff and considering all of the videos that are using space on my mobile this one should have come faster but I was too busy and lost track of my time. I had planned on adding more than a single post per day here but again I slacked and this is not good at all. The main reason is that I will be needing the space on the mobile for some of the upcoming conventions and art fairs since I tend to load up the images from those events. That brings me to this latest milestone which is art in nature. Down on the Highline structure stands a gigantic pigeon statue called “Dinosaur” an while I said “Highline Ballroom” I was nowhere near the now rebranded club. That morning it was chilly and pouring rain and I am really just talking off the top of my head but without any further adieu, behold TikTok #1050.

While off to another adventure I stopped by The High Line to see “Dinosaur” the giant pigeon statue by Ivan Argote. It’s awesome #fyp #foryoupage #thehighline #dinosaur #giantpigeon #ivanargote #publicart #piercingken

Well how about that my friends out there in TikTok land. It seems as though I’m back once again with another step up on the platform and for those who’ve just joined us over here, I am talking about reaching another increment of “50” videos on the TikTok Social Media network. Now to be honest, this is a big one as we have just posted the “1000th” video to our feed and historically speaking have been using this since September of 2022. I created an account on the network at the beginning of 2021 but at that time was just using it to like any of the posts that my friends were doing. I will admit that I went into this quite reluctantly as I didn’t see my brands being something that was Tokworthy. I changed my mind after some discussion with like-minded peers and my having the account under Ken Pierce Media let’s me have a little more creative freedom. So as many of the PiercingMetal readers know, we are always excited when it comes to the band KISS and having these topical items about the band marking our 1000th Video on TikTok was awesome.

Here’s a look at some KISS collection content to come. I’ve secured all of the current “Off The Soundboard” Love CD’s and the famed “End Of The Road” Final Show Parting Gift #fyp #foryoupage #kiss #hotttestbandintheworld #offthesoundboard #endoftheroad #piercingmetal

Greetings my dear friends out there in TikTok land, I am saying a very loud and somewhat boisterous “Welcome Back” because I have to admit that I thought when we were doing this the last time back in early January, I felt that it would have been my last broadcast of this nature based on the ban that TikTok was facing. You might recall that the at the time sitting President Biden signed off on banning the social media platform for matters of national security but once Donald Trump defeated him he reviewed this and kept pushing the ban aside. You’re not going to get much politics from me, but I was surely glad that he did that since I felt there were other items overlooked during the Biden presidency that were greater risks to our national security. I am stoked to have gotten right back into the posting of these briefs and now that another increment of “50” has been achieved we can add another notch to our website publishing belt. The short down below comes from the recent NY NOW Gifting Show and one of the booths that I explored. This is called “The Gifting Suite” and many exhibitors leave products to be taken by VIP Buyers and the Media. I love this part of the trade show since it gives me something else to talk about and here now is post #950.

Well, they said it would be banned and here we are. TikTok is effectively inaccessible in the United States of America to protect our interests and for National Security sake. You’re seeing this notice super early in the morning if you’re still awake but I can say that I lost access to my account at around 10PM EST after I had updated the profile just a little bit. Let’s review the timeline of this.

The Timeline:
4/23/2024: The Senate passed legislation to force the Chinese owned TikTok to be sold to a US Owner or be banned in the coming months.
4/24: President Biden signs the legislation for TikTok to be banned in the United States unless its sold by ByteDance to a US owner.
1/17/25: Supreme Court Unanimously upholds the Federal Law to ban TikTok with only hours to go before its Official Ban Date.
1/18/2025: TikTok goes offline in the United States. A few hours on the day before it was supposed to. A message seen on the application informs its 170M strong user base that now President Donald Trump would look to working on solution to resolve this.
