did before. Also, the celebrities will also promote the short video apps as

advertisements and their fans usually believe the products that the idols
share with them are the best and they may start downloading the apps.

Another reason is that using short video apps is a good way to help creators

grow. Many viral videos on the short video apps are not created by the famous
stars, but ordinary people who did something really creative or impressive.
For example, I watched a video that is about a girl who can eat 100 hamburgers
within the time limit. After watching the video, I really felt surprised and I

decided to subscribe to her video account because this action really impressed
me. Even though the people who made the videos are not handsome or
beautiful, if they did something really creative, they can become famous and
draw public attention successfully.

Last but not least, the most important reason for making short video apps
popular is that they don’t have age or place limit. It enables the users to
add music and effects to the videos but it is not difficult to use. You don’t

need to have professional skills for making videos or put a lot of time on it.
Therefore, the enthusiasm of making short videos is even shared by retirees
or children. They can share different videos with different age groups. Also,
people in different places can also share their videos because people always

emphasize the actions in videos and seldom speak, so they can understand
the content of videos and break the obstacle of language problems.

To sum up, people enjoy using short video apps because of different reasons,
such as no age/place limit, helping creators grow and celebrities effect. I think
the rise in popularity of short video apps will not stop in the next three years.
If you are interested in making videos, just try and do not be afraid!
