The Grind Behind 2 Million Views

Aug '25 • Wins

People see the viral video and think it was easy. What they don’t see are the hundreds of videos I posted before it most pulling in 200 views, maybe a little more on a good day.

I started in music. Switched to crypto. Eventually found my way into AI. I’ve had multiple TikTok accounts, multiple “fresh starts,” and countless moments where I wondered if all this time and effort was even worth it.

But I kept posting. Kept experimenting. Kept learning from every flop.

Then, on August 6th, 2025, it finally happened. My GPT-4 vs. GPT-5 video blew up 2 million views, 128,000 likes, and 820 new followers in just a few days.

It wasn’t magic. It was persistence. It was showing up when the numbers didn’t make sense. It was grinding through the discouraging days so I’d be ready when the timing, trends, and content finally lined up.

This is what people don’t tell you about going viral it’s built on a foundation of videos almost no one saw.
