You would have to have enough followers though, don't you? So that begs the question: where did you get so many followers from? :P

no, that's not how the algos work anymore. they test content with a couple hundred viewers, and push out further based on engagement. even if you have followers, it won't push content to them if it doesn't engage the initial test audiences (whether followers or not).

this is part of why many now pay creators to start new accounts to post viral organic content rather than to their existing followers.

when you find a video format that works for your product, you can create many accounts (or pay people to do so) and keep posting the winning formula
