Jean-Victor Mackie is the perfect example of how to maintain virtual relevancy in the world of TikTok. Attention spans shorten, but Mackie (@jeanvictorm), keeps his platform alive by following up on all the latest trends. A quick look at his account proves this: the newest dances, jokes, and audios are all there. That’s not to say Mackie isn’t a bit of a trendsetter himself, however. A love of dancing, singing, and playing sports has gifted Mackie the ability to create dances of his own! With that said, he must be doing something right, considering he has 2.3 million followers and nearly 50.9 million likes. His videos consistently garner hundreds of thousands--if not millions--of views. And, with this number only going upwards, his account is only bound to grow in the future. We recently spoke with the influencer about his favorite TikTok trends, TikTok’s impact on his life, and more!
