TikTok quietly launches PineDrama

TikTok has quietly released a new app called PineDrama in the United States and Brazil. This app is different from regular TikTok because instead of a mix of random short videos, every clip in PineDrama is part of a tiny, scripted story. Each story is broken into episodes that are about one minute long, so you can watch a whole tale in bite-sized pieces.

The app is free to download on both iPhone and Android and doesn’t show ads right now, though that might change later. Users can scroll through a feed of shows, see what’s trending, and find new series to follow. There are different kinds of stories, like thrillers and romances, and some have already been watched millions of times.

Apart from watching, people can save their favourite shows, look back at what they’ve already seen, and leave comments. It feels a bit like browsing TikTok, but every video builds on a plot and characters instead of just being random clips.

This move shows how short, story-based video is becoming a bigger part of how people watch entertainment online. PineDrama puts all of those short dramas in one place, separate from the regular TikTok feed.

TIP OF THE DAY

The Future of Shopping? AI + Actual Humans.

AI has changed how consumers shop by speeding up research. But one thing hasn’t changed: shoppers still trust people more than AI.

Levanta’s new Affiliate 3.0 Consumer Report reveals a major shift in how shoppers blend AI tools with human influence. Consumers use AI to explore options, but when it comes time to buy, they still turn to creators, communities, and real experiences to validate their decisions.

The data shows:

  • Only 10% of shoppers buy through AI-recommended links

  • 87% discover products through creators, blogs, or communities they trust

  • Human sources like reviews and creators rank higher in trust than AI recommendations

The most effective brands are combining AI discovery with authentic human influence to drive measurable conversions.

Affiliate marketing isn’t being replaced by AI, it’s being amplified by it.
