I guess we could blame Tiktokers for making Fuji the new Leica.

Could someone share some TikToks about Fujifilm X100V? Particularly among the commenters who say it's a TikTok phenomenon? I want to watch them!

I scroll through tiktok as I do with other social media and I've never seen any Fujifilm content.

Of course I know I could search on the app but I'd like the people who push this narrative to demonstrate it. Because obviously if I search for it I will find it but that's true of anything and isn't really indicative of a phenomenon or 'going viral'.

If you don't bother to research it I don't see why others need to demonstrate it to you. A quick "Fuji 100v" search will show thousands of videos. The hype on social media about this camera is very real and this is feeding scalpers big time.

Because it feeds the algorithm as soon as i search it. I'm saying I routinely use TikTok but have never seen an X100V video so it seems weird to me to think that's the main driver for prices going up.

But maybe you aren’t watching those particular influencers?  Are you routinely watching celebrities and fashion people?  I sure as hell don’t, but it’s certainly happened with other cameras.
