TikTok Shop is a Dystopian Mall Kiosk

On today’s episode, Rachelle and Candice are joined by sustainable
stylist and fashion educator Lakyn Carlton to discuss
TikTok Shop — a new feature that lets users purchase products
without ever leaving the app. TikTok Shop is a modern day QVC,
where merchants can shell products they’ve made — or are authorized
to resell — in live videos with products tagged on screen. In the
age of Amazon Storefronts and Etsy, it’s not surprising for TikTok
to enter the e-commerce space. But the crowded, merchant-filled
experience has ruined the app’s appeal and made users consider
quitting TikTok for good. This podcast is produced by Se’era
Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton.
