BOOKTOK: revolutionizes reading homes or does it harm the literature?

The Tikok community has conquered the literary world in a storm! With over 240 billion calls, Boktok is the place where readers, authors and publishers share their passion for books. But not everything that shines is gold! While the platform serves as a springboard for new literary trends, there are also critical voices that claim that the excessive marketing of bestsellers on the app promotes inferior literature.

The debate about the quality of the literature on Bookkot is becoming increasingly hot. Many readers question the honesty of reviews, since numerous book influencers are influenced by sponsoring deals. Is that really the way we should consume literature? These questions are the focus of an exciting discussion, moderated by Anelise Borges, with prominent guests such as the author and comedian Ashling Sugrue, the writer Andy Darcy Theo and Shannon Devito, the Senior Director of Barnes & Noble.

The dark side of Booktok

The critics warn that Bookkok's popularity means that books that may not have the highest quality receive disproportionately attention. The platform could thus negatively influence people's reading habits and distract the focus of really important literary works. The question remains: Is the Tikok community an enrichment or a threat to the literature?
