Transcript

Why is it so hard to get followers on TikTok? Every time I post a video, I'm literally out here praying someone will like it or just give me a damn follow. And then I go on my for you page and see these kids with 500 likes and over 1k followers. And when I check their videos, it's just funk music and a random filter on their face and some goofy ass facial expressions. Like bro, how do you gain 1000 followers off that? And then they hit you with the those who know captions. Bro, I don't fucking know. That's the whole point. I'm just out here trying to make something work. And then shit feels rigged. At this point I might as well throw funk in my videos too. Shout out to the 11 real ones who actually followed me. Y'all the only reason I haven't given up yet.
