This research used qualitative methods. The researchers selected 150 comments on Instagram and 150 comments on TikTok. Then, the researchers analyzed it using Ye's theory to analyze the compliments strategy and used Manes Wolfson's theory to analyze the syntactic pattern. Furthermore, the researchers compared the use of compliments on Instagram and Tiktok. The findings from this research showed that direct compliments tend to be used on both Instagram and TikTok.
