A software application designed to automatically ‘like’ comments on TikTok videos aims to simulate user interaction. It operates by identifying comments within a specific TikTok post and programmatically registering a ‘like’ on those comments, often without direct human intervention for each action. The underlying mechanics typically involve accessing the TikTok API or mimicking user behavior through automated scripts.
The intended purpose of such applications varies. Some users may employ them to increase the visibility of their own comments or to foster a sense of engagement on their content. Historically, similar automated tools have been used across various social media platforms in attempts to manipulate metrics and gain a perceived advantage in terms of popularity or reach. The benefits, if any, are often short-lived and may be counteracted by platform policies designed to detect and penalize inauthentic activity.
