Too Many TikToks
Hey guys!
So TikTok actually came through and now I have my old account back, blessedly hacker-free (and with several password changes). Now I have two TikTok accounts and honestly I'm not entirely sure where to go from here.
My biggest fear is that with the chaos of the last few days, people aren't going to trust the old account that's now back in my possession. I've literally told people to report, unfollow, and even block the old account. The plethora of copycat accounts sure doesn't help.
But I don't want to get rid of an account that has almost 400k followers. Especially since that account has old TikTok monetization rules and got grandfathered in. (These days, a TikTok account can have either a website link or be monetized. You'd think this would be an easy choice, but I'm also constantly promoting things like books, merch, Patreon, etc, and having a link in my profile makes doing that much easier.)
This is a very good problem to have, of course, but still something of a conundrum.
My first instinct was to delete/archive one of the accounts and call it a day, but Video Editor Nic brought up an interesting idea: reserve one of the accounts (probably the new one, as this would be for pure monetization) for CaFae Latte content only. Then use the 2nd account for things like book promos, behind the scenes, personal announcements, etc.
There would be no double-posting of videos (TikTok hates that and punishes those who do it severely). It would basically be one account for CaFae Latte, the other for literally everything else.
But I wanted to get some fan thoughts before taking any further action. So let me know your thoughts on the poll below.
Please note that all other platforms like Insta, Patreon, and YouTube would continue as normal.

The first option having both was what I was suggesting too it’s a good ass idea especially with the old monitazation
How you don’t have a blue check along with some other great storyline creators is absolutely gasting my flabbers. Honestly idgaf as long as it is very clear what has what. The supercomps are amasing bingewatch btw. Much appreciated!
Use old account primarily as people will tend to use one account only and may/will miss content if you use both & grandfather rules etc. (Unless using two accounts is a cost to you?).
I can see why running two would be difficult, but this way, people who like you mainly for CaFae Latte (how I found you) would still see the videos on TikTok, but you could run your other content- which I now LOVE elsewhere and have revenue coming in either way.
I had the old account blocked and as soon as I got the great news it's back in your hands I unblocked it and gave follow. It would be delightful if the old account will stay because there is an archive of all your hard work you put into your content.
I'll follow both no matter what so whatever works for the algorithm!!
I personally think continue CaFae latte content on the old one and business stuff on the new one, you got grandfathered in with the old account
I think it needs to be the other way around, because the old one has several other series like BookTalk and Accidentally Kidnapped
Yay people like me and my ideas
While having two accounts might be a pain in the ass for you, a lot of your earlier non-Cafae skits aren't on YT and are on the original account. Also, if you were to get hacked again, you'll already be one step ahead of it
Good for you and I am so silly EVEN an old GenXer like me will eventually find OG content but fun fact is the first thing that came to mind was ONE ACCOUNT TO RULE THEM ALL 🤪
Whatever works best for you! So I'm in the idgaf column! If you have two, I'll follow both. If you have one, I'll follow whichever one is active. Now that I know the clock app doesn't pay for rewatches I'll do that on YouTube.
Use your new Back up account as an OOC account.
I feel having a back up could be beneficial but Idk. I would say the easiest option for you
I’m so glad you got the hacker stuff sorted. I’ll keep following whatever account(s) you keep up, so whatever is easiest for you, works for me.
I agree with editor Nick! 😇 thank goodness you were able to get the old account back!
I think it would be a massive shame if you deleted the old account cause there's just so much other stuff that people still like watching (Accidentally Kidnapped and all the Blackwing skits to mention a couple off the top of my head) that would just be lost forever. I'd say use the new account as a back up in case anything happens again but continue to post on the old one again like before cause it's literally got everything on it already
Plzzzzz keep the old account
Tell me what to follow and I will be there.
I'm so glad to the hacker mess was cleared up! I voted, but honestly, do what works best for you. And, what you have time and energy for.
It's almost too bad you already did a moving storyline a while ago. Then you could weave in Cafe latte moving to the second account. Though treating the second account as a super secret backup with special behind the scenes and promo videos could be fun. As long as TikTok puts your videos from both accounts in people's FYP, you'll be ok with whatever you choose. Your main account was down for such a short time there might be people who only look at it on the weekends that will have no idea of the drama that happened.
Ahem: YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! That is all.
Congratulations on getting the old account back! I agree with video editor, Nick
Nick is correct
Now I gotta hope I can unban the original account
You should also make two videos. One for the main and one for the new to explain the update and ask people to follow both so if something happens in the future, you can keep people updated that way too
I like Nic's idea, especially since there is good reason to keep the old account since it was restored to you. Having the two accounts also gives you something of a backup should any major hiccup ever happen with one of the accounts again.
I think having 2 accounts is a really good idea as it would help keep everything organized
I think the behind the scenes bloopers and promos would be a fun addition
One for monetized vids, one for merch links and news
I think editor nick is right.
