From what I heard from my friends who _have_ uploaded something to TikTok, it is very possible for a random creator to wake up one morning with 5 million views to their videos, much more so than Instagram or Youtube. Once that happens, I can imagine how people can keep chasing that high for a while, just to try recreate the success that was given to them once by the algorithm.
