TikTok is extremely popular, and they are always making changes to the platform to try to optimize how things work.
This TikToker found a way around the fact that TikTok removed the ability to pin a top comment for creators.
The video is quick and simple. It starts off with her saying, “So, we all know that you can’t pin comments anymore.”

Lots of creators are upset that you can’t pin comments anymore.
She continues, “But, I found a new hack. TikTok released a new feature so that when you are scrolling in the comments, the first one shows up as pink.”
Yes, it says ‘First Comment’ in pink.

She then says, “So, be the first person to comment with your call to action or your prompt, and this will help it stand out.”
Ok, I suppose that could be beneficial, though still not as good as being able to pin the comment.

I guess this tip is better than nothing, but creators who have lots of followers will need to act fast. Her video does have the description of, “Try this pinned comment hack! Have you noticed it?”
It needs to be pointed out that she wasn’t even able to be the first comment on her own video, lol.
If you are a content creator, though, this could be a great tool.

See, even she noticed that she wasn’t first.
This commenter doesn’t think it will work.
Here is someone who wants to know why they removed pinned comments.
Content creators need to work hard to stay ahead of the TikTok changes.
