REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"POV: you're the only one in the group project who actually opened the Google Doc."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrowed from film and photography terminology, TikTok turned 'POV' into a structural caption convention around 2020 that frames an entire video as a simulated first-person experience for the viewer.
