No, I will not do a TikTok banner tutorial. Stop asking me. You guys are gonna suffer while I enjoy this update. You guys had voice notes and comments before me. You guys had stickers and comments before me. Now I'm gonna have this TikTok banner before everyone else, and I'm NOT gonna do the tutorial. You guys are gonna suffer. And that's really it. I have to gatekeep this, cause I don't want everyone having this. Only a certain amount of people have it, and I'm happy that I'm one of the few that has it. So, yeah, if you don't have a TikTok banner, don't even talk to me. You know what? Like, I'm not even talking to you. Like, just talk to me when you have a TikTok banner, okay.
