As a hardcore TikTok enthusiast, I have to admit that I was utterly fascinated by Vexbolts’ recent “funeral” live stream. The sheer magnitude of viewers who flocked to his broadcast was truly mind-boggling and seemed to break all records on the platform.

I remember when the “let him cook” meme creator went viral, and I followed along with everyone else as nearly all of TikTok rallied to mass unfollow the creator. It was a spectacle to watch the sudden surge in his following count, especially considering the initial intention behind the movement.

However, it seems that the opposite effect occurred, and Vexbolts’ following grew by an astounding 7 million users within just a few days. The YouTube superstar MrBeast even joined the bandwagon to “leave Vexbolts in 2024,” but it seemed to have the opposite result, as millions of followers abandoned him within hours of January 1st, 2025.

As I tuned into his live stream on New Year’s Eve, I was captivated by the number of people who turned up for what he called his “funeral.” The viewer count reached a staggering 996,200 before the stream ended, and it seemed as though Vexbolts may have broken the TikTok Live viewership record.

Not only was his reach on TikTok impressive, but he also saw an insane increase in viewers on Twitch, with a peak of 12,227 viewers during the broadcast – that’s over 11k more than his stream on December 29th! It remains to be seen whether Vexbolts will continue to ride the “left in 2024” meme wave or take a break from content creation throughout 2025. But one thing is for sure, his follower count has more than doubled since the mass unfollow movement, and he’s currently sitting at just under 3 million followers on TikTok – not too shabby!

Now if only I could get my hands on some of that viral sauce… or was it chicken tenders? Either way, Vexbolts is a true TikTok phenomenon, and I can’t wait to see what he cooks up next (pun intended)!

On December 31st, internet sensation Vexbolts hosted what turned out to be his final TikTok Live session, and the viewership was nothing short of breathtaking.

During the final week of December, the user behind the ‘Let him cook’ meme, Vexbolts, gained widespread attention when nearly everyone on TikTok appeared to simultaneously unfollow him. Surprisingly, this mass action seemed to backfire, as his follower count swelled by 7 million within a few short days.

2024 saw the rise of the “Vexbolt-free” movement, and as a dedicated gamer, I was one of the last to jump on board. On New Year’s Day, 2025, I woke up to a shocking reality – millions of my TikTok followers had vanished within hours. MrBeast, the YouTube sensation, found himself in a similar situation.

Vexbolts held a “funeral” livestream on TikTok for his followers, and the viewership was astoundingly high.

Vexbolts may have broken the TikTok Live viewership record

At 11:45 pm, Vexbolts launched their live stream, which concluded slightly before midnight, coinciding with the commencement of a large-scale unfollow incident on their page.

Yet, even as people worldwide welcomed the New Year ahead of the 11:59 pm EST mark, he was starting to lose followers. However, when the countdown began, a surge of viewers flocked to his stream within those 15 minutes, causing the viewer count to rapidly increase.

On the social media platform TikTok, as shared by NoahGlennCarter, the viewership of the Vexbolts broadcast soared to an astounding 996,200 before it came to a close.

This might have been the most-watched TikTok Live stream ever, but it wasn’t only on TikTok where Vexbolts observed more viewers.

He broadcasted his ‘funeral’ across multiple streams on Twitch and witnessed an enormous surge in viewership as a result. As per Twitchtracker, he reached a staggering peak of 12,227 viewers, which was a significant increase of approximately 11,600 more than the number of viewers he had on December 29.

As someone who has been closely observing the social media landscape for several years now, I can’t help but notice the intriguing case of Vexbolts and his “left in 2024” meme strategy. It’s uncertain if he will continue to maintain this approach, refraining from posting content throughout the year 2025. However, one thing is clear: regardless of whether he does or not, his TikTok follower count has experienced a significant growth.

Personally, I find it fascinating how Vexbolts has managed to capitalize on internet culture and memes in such an effective way. As a content creator myself, I’ve learned that staying relevant and engaging with audiences can lead to exponential growth in one’s online presence. In this instance, Vexbolts seems to have struck gold with his unique approach, which has undoubtedly contributed to his expanding fanbase on TikTok.

It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds. Will Vexbolts continue to ride the wave of the “left in 2024” meme, or will he take a different direction? Either way, it’s evident that his strategy has paid off, and I believe there are valuable lessons to be learned from his success for other content creators striving to make their mark on social media.

Currently, Vexbolts has approximately 3 million followers, which represents more than twice the number he had prior to the large-scale unfollowing event.
