The act of removing a previously highlighted comment from the top of the comment section on a TikTok video is accomplished through a simple process. This action effectively returns the comment section to its default chronological order, allowing newer comments to rise to the top based on their recency. For example, if a content creator has pinned a comment to emphasize a specific point or highlight a particular viewer interaction, the creator or potentially a moderator, can subsequently remove this highlighted status.
This functionality offers several advantages for both content creators and viewers. It allows creators to manage the flow of conversation within their comment sections, preventing any single comment from dominating the discourse indefinitely. This can be particularly important in maintaining a balanced and dynamic community interaction. The feature also allows content creators to keep information current in the comments section, by removing pinned comments that are no longer relevant, and adding a fresh more relevant comment.
