Honestly, it’s pretty cool to tune in to the radio station I listen to every morning and hear the hosts start talking about me, and listening to my voice on the radio was super cool. It was also greatabout how I talked about all the dangers of Billings, how it’s like a war zone. That’s a half-truth. Like, Billings is a town that’s kinda well known in Montana for being really dangerous, and after the article, even people in Billings were like, “Oh yeah, it’s true.
Do you have any sort of community or relationship with other TikTokkers in Montana? Is there a remote hype house that’s more of a cabin? Man, there are very few. I’ve been told by every single interviewer today—and I’ll probably be told by the next few—that there are no content creators from Montana. It’s tough because Montana’s a huge state in terms of space. We’re the fourth biggest in the nation, and we have so few people. There are mutuals I have on TikTok, like—he lives in Lewistown, and he has over a million followers.
For that reason, I suppose there wasn’t some sort of unified TikTok lobby that could go and protest the proposed ban. Unlike how so many creators with huge followings went to the White House to lobby against a nationwide ban., but he just happens to live here. He does all his science stuff, all his educational stuff, but he’s not really Montana-. People who focus purely on Montana like I do, the amount of followers I could get from that is 1 million at the most, because that’s our population.
, and like, yeah, those critics are right. But it’s tough because we don’t have any big national voices that we can really work with. So I think all of us creators getting together would really help.Right, I remember looking through the Montana TikTok scene back in February when the Chinese balloon was flying overhead, but when I went back through those today, a lot of those videos were taken down.
