I kinda like going thrifting
If I get it for the low we’re business yeah
Whoa, my God, what’s the price on that, whoa!
You can tell me that these things don’t matter
But I know that
You like high prices and
Things that are stylish and
I wanna tell you throw it in the bag
But baby I don’t got it like that
— Devvon Terrell, “Too Expensive”
Thanks to Devvon for helping kick off LowEndBox’s TikTok adventure, as I posted our first video there.
Is LEB the best fit for TikTok (or rather, is TikTok the best fit for LEB)? No clue. Twitter/FaceBook I can see because some people like to get their news that way. YouTube for video and tutorials – sure.
But TikTok? What do we have to say in short videos?
I’ve got a massive trove of funny gifs and such that I think will be fun to roll out, and this is obviously for newcomers who’ve never heard of our community to discover it for the first time.
As always your views and feedback are appreciated!

Awesome stuff! Happy to see LowEndBox on TikTok. We’re also on TikTok and it’s treating us well. We started about a week ago and we’re already at 3000 likes – the growth and engagement there is awesome.

TikTok? The Chinese spyware platform slurping down everyone’s data, sending it to China, promising not to do it, then doing it anyway?
Don’t be sellouts for the Chinese.
