TikTok Video Rant #2: I made it so you can’t follow me videos...

[Another exclaimer that I’m not against these people, nor being mean to them. I just going to tell everyone that this trend has been going around TikTok ever since late 2021 last year, so now I think it’s about time to do a little rant on it]

So about these videos on TikTok of people saying stuff like I made it so you won’t follow me, or like the video, save the video, and many more, but what if I told you that those videos are just there so they can just receive more likes, and also of course more follows, they’re just there just to get more views, here’s an example video explaining why this is a problem...

and here’s an image of the same video with some “so called” Fortnite gameplay...

At first, it seems legit, right? But... think again, you press the follow button with no problems at all, it doesn’t pull up a message saying “you can’t follow them”. But you can follow them with no problems, and you noticed you’ve just wasted your time just following that account.

And others might just do the same as the other person by making more I made it impossible to follow me videos, and the comments will say stuff like I already did, or this is “cap” (some fancy word on TikTok meaning something is fake), or other things that they would say as well. I’ve seen these videos so many times on my TikTok “for you page”, and they keep on getting worse and worse as the months goes by.

I don’t really know if people are still making these videos or not, I just want to explain the whole cause of this strange TikTok trend, and there’s other videos not just saying about I made it impossible to follow me, there’s I made it impossible to like this video, or save the video (meaning just downloading the video since TikTok does have a save feature, and TikTok use to be called Musical.ly, so this save video feature must’ve been on the app ever since Musical.ly was released).

I don’t know about you or anything, I just feel that this trend just needs to stop soon. It’s annoying to have these videos on your for you page, and they’re not even helpful at all, they’re just there to waste your time, and even my time as well.

Thanks for reading this post, I will post more tumblr posts soon, so have a great day, and stay safe.
