Manipulation of the algorithm of Tiktok by a group, to catch the attention of a popular content creator and forcing other comments to the bottom (into the shadows). This is accomplished by having all group members use the same emblem or avatar and liking each other comments to trick the algorithm into placing these "popular" comments ahead of others. Specific emoticons are also used in the same formation in the comments to increase visibility. The contents of the comments are usually irrelevant, but the number of comments will push out all non-group members and create the illusion that all the fans of that content creator are from that group.

Get the Shadowing mug.A shadow group is a qualitative research technique similar to focus groups, however, the moderator only asks rhetorical questions. Shadow groups are only conducted by a select few researchers and the effectiveness of this technique is considered highly suspect. It is closely related to other Amorphitative techniques.
Jim thought he was providing information for a study about cat food, but when he arrived at the facility he and the other participants were part of a shadow group where they were asked only rhetorical questions.

Get the Shadow Party mug."Shadow Humor" Is when someone hides in the shadows of the phrase "Dark Humor" to openly hate on a specific kind of person or serious concept. For example, someone using shadow humor would frequently say things along the lines of "*insert specific kind of people* are so stupid. I could literally walk up to them and they would be *insert joke about common stereotype about said person* and then proceed to tell you your just too much of a snowflake to get dark humor. Someone who uses shadow humor also uses it for specific subjects pretty often.
Tyler: Haha dude watch me get sent to the principles office for slapping some girls wrist and saying "I like yuh cut g"
Kevin: That's the seventh joke you've made about people with problems like that today ... it's not even funny... there's no punchline you're just making fun of people who suffer from self-harm...
Tyler: Shut up Kevin! It's called 'Dark. Humour.' You're just too much of a snowflake to understand.
Kevin: That's not dark humor. You're using shadow humor. Stop using dark humor as an excuse to make fun of people with actual problems.
