The residence is a million-dollar manor with a capacious backyard, photogenic amenities, a luxurious pool, and extensive outdoor space in a quiet street. The concept of collab houses makes it easy for new arrivals to Los Angeles: They have a nice place to live in, a built-in friend group, and of course, constant access to collaborators.

Transition in Kids Next Door
Age is just a number, proved Marcus Olin when this 21yr old launched a content house ‘Kids Next Door.’ The house gained its name because of the power couple that was well known for their matching Neon-coloured hair. It was a luxurious house full of teenagers whose profession involved making videos, having fun, and having parties any time of the day, that too with no supervision. Of course, it was going to be crazyyy..!! And it definitely was with all its college party kinda vibes. Initially, people in the neighborhood were disturbed by their lifestyle and started complaining about their frat-like behavior. Olin concedes- “At first, like, the neighbors were definitely not happy at all,” “But we’re trying to be as quiet as possible.” Seeing the fuzz they were creating, the group soon changed their ways. Marcus and other members realized that partying should not be the purpose, and if they have to maintain their house, they need to be disciplined.. Living with your friends and girlfriend at 21 sounds intriguing and fun, but Marcus showed it doesn’t mean all play and no work. He successfully created the content house and led it to a victorious height. The audience admired them and enjoyed their voluminous content.

TikTok at danger- TikTok influencers say ‘everybody is going to take a big hit’
With all the love and fame from the audience came a startling blow from the government. After an order from the U.S. President Donald Trump that will ban all the social media apps if their Chinese parent ByteDance does not reach a deal to divest it by a specific time period Adam Miguest said-“For two to five months, maybe, everybody is going to take a big hit. Everyone is going to lose a stream of revenue. I think it’s really stupid… what Trump is doing,” If TikTok goes down, so will the career paths of all the TikTok creators. While few have some backup plan or ideas, others have no suggestion about where to look and what to do next..!! They are concerned that this will majorly affect their livelihood and lifestyle. Also, due to the massive impact of TikTok on generation, any change will be directed seen. Also, read The Hype House: All The Updates And The Inside Scoops..!! Orona said. “If it does get banned, I have a backup plan, of course, which is to move to the YouTube platform or use the Reels on Instagram,” Another industry that would be deeply affected is the music industry.. In today’s times, many songs make their way to the top after being viral by TikTok videos. Their value would be seriously affected if all the usage and promotion will suddenly stop.
