It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I don’t feel fine. In fact, I am quite angry to announce that I am now on TikTok (follow me here). How did we get here? I have no idea. Like the midterms which had 300+ election deniers on the ballot, my devolution from scholar to influencer has been years in the making. Like the state of politics, the reason for my decline is social media. Instead of reading a well-written, extensive blog post about my time in the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia (see Salt Flats, Bolivia: The Definitive Guide to Going), today’s audience prefers a five-second clip of me running through said flats composed with a trending audio clip.

While I would love to say good riddance to these people, I will not do so for three reasons:
- This is an entertaining video.
- There’s a slight chance people will click the link in the bio and read the blog post.
- I can produce unique, quality content that highlights why blogging is and continues to be one of a kind.
The blog is not the only venture on TikTok. Instead of creating a TPOL handle, I am using my full name, Alexander Bachuwa, to promote everything Alexander. This includes my law firm BachuwaLaw.com, my marketing agency LawyerOnaCloud.com, my book Everyone’s Advice Is Wrong . . . Including Mine, and my sports brand IQKhameleon.com.
