tiktok fame is insane

the way ppl get popular on tiktok is so weird and random to me. like sometimes i see something really funny or cool and im like okay yeah that makes sense for it to blow up but then theres ppl that just stare at the camera and get sooooo many likes and views. istg tiktok picks a vid out of a hat and then goes yeah lets blow up this one ITS SO CONFUSING AND STRANGE
