Indie developer @AlchainHust shares that a 20-second Douyin video brought 11K+ new followers. He only recorded a 1-minute voiceover, while Opus 5.5 handled research, beauty filtering and editing in about half an hour. He's candid in the follow-up: the growth mainly cashed in on the audience from his well-known projects, so the experience isn't very replicable — but better tools did make tedious production work far easier.
