Does duping TikTok challenges help you go viral?
My experience with this TikTok viral challenge, including duping the video, voice, text overlay and caption was an epic fail! It was one of my least viewed TikTok videos ever! I have no idea how the TikTok algorithm works but duping TikTok challenges was a miss for me. But at least I managed to share a fun TikTok photo editing hack.
