New account

About a week and a half ago my videos on my account were not getting ANY views besides from people that viewed my profile. I tried contacting support and was just led in circles by bot responses. So, I eventually said F it im going to just make a new account and post the same videos that weren't getting views on this new account to test my theory. Well my theory was correct. This new account over the last 5 days has just hit 1.3k followers with over 10k likes. I was dreading starting over fresh but it was overall a great decision!
