TikTok Star Charli D’Amelio Reveals What Happened to Her Spam Account

gamerant.com:

Video sharing platform TikTok grew from obscurity to being one of the most prominent social media and content platforms. With over 1 billion users across 150 countries, it’s quickly closed the gap with the more established YouTube, and TikTok’s meteoric rise mirrors that of its biggest creators.

The platform’s most-followed creator is 18-year-old Charli D’Amelio, with over 140 million followers. In addition to her main account, D’Amelio also maintained a semi-secret “spam” account, which drew a large following before its sudden disappearance. D’Amelio finally addressed this in a Q&A with fans, though her explanation leaves more questions than answers.

D’Amelio held the Q&A on TikTok May 12. During the video, she responded to a fan asking if she was ever going to create another spam account. D’Amelio didn’t answer directly, instead revealing that she wasn’t sure what happened to her original spam account. According to her, TikTok simply logged her out of that account one day, and she could never get back in. The 18-year-old TikTok star said she misses her spam account but thinks it is gone for good.

D’Amelio’s explanation seems to indicate that TikTok deleted her account itself. That usually happens when an account violates the platform’s terms of service, though it’s unclear what rules the content creator may have broken. It’s possible that the unassuming name might have led TikTok’s content moderators to mistakenly believe that her “spam” account really was a spam account or that it was stealing from D’Amelio’s main account. However, this is little more than speculation.
