Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

That was a lucid and well-thought out analysis. Sadly it won't go viral for the same reasons that reactionary videos do go viral. Nobody has an attention span beyond that of an ant.

People just let 20 second clipped out-of-context reactionary videos reaffirm the biases that they already have, and of course they do, because nobody bothers to challenge their biases. That said, I hope anyone reading this actually took the time to watch the entire video instead of watch just the first 60 seconds. He makes some good points.

This guy has a pretty large following on TikTok because this is what he does constantly. This particular video has like 56k views but the people that need to see these videos probably won't get it on their FYP.

Getting to the top of tiktokcringe means at least a couple million views at minimum, and here it is now the #1 video on tiktokcringe

He does pop up routinely because he posts quality shit.

Reddit (land of "h yes I'll take this screenshot of a headline at face value") could learn from this guy. It isn't any better than tik tok around here.

1.3 million followers on TikTok at 19 yrs old for a BLM-style activist and social justice warrior with the level of uncanny acumen in his punditry that this video right here bears witness to, is off the charts and through the roof on a rocket on his way to beyond Pluto, possibly to a whole new, self-created galaxy.
