While YouTube is the library, TikTok is the playground. Indonesian entertainment and popular videos have found a second home on ByteDance’s platform. Indonesia was one of the first countries where TikTok launched its "TikTok Shop," integrating e-commerce with entertainment (Shopeetainment, or shoppertainment).
For decades, Indonesian television has been dominated by sinetron (electronic cinema). These are not your slow-paced Western soaps. Think telenovela levels of drama, multiplied by ten.
Indonesian cinema experienced a resurgence in the late 2010s (post-2016) with the "Nanti Kita Cerita tentang Hari Ini" (NKCTHI) era and the rise of horror-religious films.
