Adorian Deck has been a content creator for 15 years. In 2009 he created his first brand @OMGFacts when he was just 16 years old and successfully sold it when it had 15 million followers on Twitter and Facebook combined.
But TikTok is a recent project, as he started his account in June of 2021. We reached out to Adorian and he told us that he always had a fascination with random fun facts, as is evident from his content, because the sold business as well as his TikTok focus on that.

Adorian has quite a few series on his TikTok page, like the one included in this list: maps that can change how you see the world, psychology tricks, crazy coincidences and a lot more. We were curious to know where he gets all these ideas from.
He explained, “I'm really inspired by a lot of what I've consumed over the years on the internet myself, and like to come up with my own spin on each topic I dive into. I follow only what interests me and that interest passes over in my body language in the videos I create.” He believes that it is important to create content that he likes himself as “An audience can tell whether someone is genuinely interested in what they are making content about.”

The facts are really interesting, but the appeal is that they are really unexpected, yet very simple. Adorian simply finds these facts on Google. He let us in on what the process looks like, “It will take me to list articles that exist on other websites and then once I find some information, I deep dive into researching those facts (since a lot of what you might see on the internet is false), and usually in my deep dives I may even find new ideas for series or just a lot more content for what I'm already working on. Sometimes I just get lost in the information and forget I'm even making videos, hah!”

Usually, people get bored of the same thing or want to try to branch out. Adorian doesn’t believe he could get bored of facts in general, but he does have plans that involve other activities: “Definitely have long-term plans to venture out into creating a lot of projects based off of what I've built so far, and have goals to help inspire / teach / show people things that could help them live a better life. For example, I'm super passionate about financial education and have content lined up for the near future to speak on this in a format that's entertaining for a larger audience.”

But for now he really enjoys what he does on TikTok and he revealed to us that the series included in this list is actually his favorite one as well as the Maps That Will Change How You See The World series.
Adorian added, “There is so much out there we have certain perceptions of and I LOVE making people get twisted in learning that what they thought was one way, was actually another!”
