This just reminds me of music in the 50s/60s and radio (without the payola)
Some bands were one hit wonders, but some were able to transition to a career, usually help behind them - writers, producers, and everything else from the record label. Chubby Checker always makes me laugh with the song Let’s Twist Again.
Something similar happened with Youtube, I think. Especially with media for kids. Popular channels turned into a productions, but usually it was much slower.
TikTok will be like Youtube/Radio Hybrid. Some people will take their one hit wonder and transition to a career, but not without the help of something like a record label or production company.
And if there’s payola, it’s going to click farms.

- prpl 4y agoThe Twist was his first big hit. Let’s Twist Again came out a year later. The entire song is referring to the phenomenon of The Twist. “Let’s twist again, like we did last summer” Also, it was a number one hit in some countries.
