I gotta put my airpods in for this one. This is some weird stuff. I've seen probably about four or five different videos of different creators on this app talking about they were disqualified from the creator rewards program for some random reason out of the blue. Well, it happened to me. They disqualified me from the creator rewards program. They tried to say that my account had deceptive something, I don't know, like it was fake. I don't know why that video got 7 million views, I have no idea. It was funny as hell, but I didn't make those views, they just came. I didn't make those comments, they just came. I done appealed it, I done wrote them, they can, I want it manually reviewed because that's not fair. And the video didn't even make no money because it wasn't even over a minute. God dang. But maybe I should just stay out of the creator rewards program because I really don't care. I don't have to make money off of TikToks, but it's the principle of the shit. You know what I'm saying? That's messed up.
