Overview
Vexbolts Mass Unfollowing December 31st, 2024 is a trolling campaign urging TikTokers to unfollow Vexbolts on December 31st, 2024. The campaign began in late-December 2024, purportedly causing a surge in Vexbolts' follower count, with some suggesting that these users were only following so they could un-follow on December 31st. The campaign was largely spread through spam comments on TikTok videos, using the copypasta, "vexbolts mass unfollowing dec 31st, spread the word." The reason for the campaign is vague, with some simply believing that the creator is unfunny or cringe.
Background
It is unclear who started the "mass unfollow Vexbolts" campaign. The reasons for the campaign are also unclear, with many commenters simply claiming it's because they find Vexbolts' content cringeworthy. Many videos encouraging users to unfollow Vexbolts on December 31st, 2024 are posted to one of Vexbolts' original sounds[1] for a song about the Low Taper Fade meme.
