Pay for promo features destroyed TikTok

Don’t judge the way I look. But anyways I posted on TikTok a few videos like this one and they did GREAT. But then TikTok came out with that “pay for promotion” feature, and my views started to plummet. So then I stopped posting for a while. And now I barely get interactions. I even went as far as starting over and making new TikTok. And deleting my account with 30k followers.
I figured I might as well start over. (Dreamy.j4de)
