Developer Alchain (花叔) reports gaining 30k followers on Douyin from a single 20-second video plus one image, attributing it to cashing in influence built on X rather than content quality. Screenshots show 1.47M views, 30.7k likes and 19k new followers (2.49% follow rate, 0.01% unfollow rate) in 12 days, with the video funneling traffic to his GitHub projects including a Claude Code marketing skill. A concrete cross-platform personal-brand growth case for indie devs.
