Conforme o texto, um aspecto associado ao caráter efêmero -FUVEST 2021

I knew TikTok existed, but I didn’t fully understand
what it was until a few months ago. I also realized that
something radical, yet largely invisible, is happening on
the internet – with implications we still don't understand.
When I was growing up, I took it for granted that the
people who became famous enough to be listened to by a
crowd had worked hard for that accolade and generally
operated with the support of an institution or an
established industry.

The idea that I, as a teenager in my bedroom, might
suddenly communicate with 100,000 people or more,
would have seemed bizarre.

Today’s kids no longer see life in these hierarchical and
institutional terms. Yes, their physical worlds are often
constrained by parental controls, a lack of access to the
outdoors and insane over-scheduling.

But despite that (or, more accurately, in reaction to
that), they see the internet as a constantly evolving
frontier, where it is still possible for a bold and lucky
pioneer to grab some land or find a voice. Most voices
on the internet never travel beyond a relatively small
network, and much of the content that goes viral on
platforms such as TikTok, YouTube or Instagram does so
because of unseen institutions at work (for example, a
public relations team aiming to boost a celebrity’s profile).

Fame can suddenly appear – and then just as suddenly
be taken away again, because the audience gets bored,
the platform’s algorithms change or the cultural trend
that a breakout video has tapped into goes out of fashion.
For a teenager, social media can seem like a summer
garden at dusk filled with fireflies: spots of lights suddenly
flare up and then die down, moving in an unpredictable,
capricious display.

Is this a bad thing? We will not know for several years.

Conforme o texto, um aspecto associado ao caráter efêmero da popularidade de um usuário da internet, relativo ao uso de plataformas como TikTok, é

1. a falta de conhecimento técnico dos adolescentes para o manejo de hardware.

2. a perda de interesse do público pelas publicações até então atrativas.

3. a competição entre usuários com atitudes pouco éticas.

4. a variedade limitada dos vídeos postados, em razão do tratamento precário das imagens.
