YOU'RE AN INFLUENCER WHO LOST EVERYTHING. AND THIS IS YOUR WHOLE LIFE [POVCAST]
What does the journey from a random viral video to a life where the entire day is governed by an algorithm look like?
This is a satirical story about a schoolboy from Butovo who accidentally makes a funny video in 2018, wakes up famous, and within a few years turns TikTok, reach, and views into his main currency.
This story has it all: the first millions of views, advertising integrations, refusing to work with casinos, the COVID-19 boost, an apartment as a film set, relationships crumbling because of content, falling reach, therapy, burnout, giveaways, promotion, and a return to an old promise that can no longer be fulfilled.
If you're interested in TikTok, bloggers, algorithms, viral videos, content monetization, advertising, subscribers, psychological burnout, and how social media changes people, this video is for you.
