How we check facts
A trend page says where the trend started, when, with which sound and by whom. Here is where those facts come from, and what we leave out.
Where the facts come from
- The posts themselves: we search TikTok (through TikHub, a data service that reads TikTok's public search) for the trend and its hashtags, and open the earliest posts we can find.
- The sound page: the sound's name and who it belongs to, as TikTok shows it.
- For guides: official pages from the platforms and the companies behind the AI models, or news reports about them, linked at the end of each guide.
- Our own settings for prices, video length and what the site does, read straight from the code that runs the site, so they can't go out of date.
How we word them
- "The earliest post we found", not "the first post": TikTok search doesn't show everything, and old posts get deleted.
- Months, not exact days, when all we know is when it spread.
- No view counts we can't see ourselves, and no guesses about who started a format.
What we leave out
If we can't confirm a fact, it isn't on the page. We'd rather say less than say something wrong.
Real clips
Each real-clip trend uses 10 seconds of one public post, with its creator named and linked on the page. Creators can have it removed on the takedown page.
Corrections
Email support@remakethetrend.com with the page and what's wrong. When we fix a fact, the page's updated date changes; guides also list what changed.
