Some of Ireland’s leading TikTok stars have joined forces to create “The Goat House”. Following the same model as the uber popular “Hype House” and “Sway House” in Los Angeles, these houses see popular content creators on the viral video app joining forces and living together to create videos and lift their profiles.
Started by Thomas Arnold and Jake Browne, the South Dublin mansion will be home to 10 influencers (including the founders), who together, have a total of eight million followers on TikTok.
As seen in the United States, these content houses can be the key to success for many upcoming online stars, helping them grow a young fanbase, especially among Gen-Zers who dominate the app and sell merchandise, which appears to be what they all constantly flog on their channels.
