A video showcases dogs in Belarus unearthing potatoes from the ground.
In the world of social media, authenticity often shines brightest. This is especially true for Arina Ivanova, a midfielder for the 'Vitebsk' football club, who made a splash on TikTok with her simple, honest videos.
After honing her skills in the SMM field, Ivanova decided to promote herself independently in June. One of her viral videos features shashlik (kebab) and celery, a seemingly ordinary scene that gained over 10 million views, far exceeding her initial expectation of 50,000 views.
Ivanova's approach to social media is rooted in honesty. She prefers to show herself as she is in real life, disliking rehearsed phrases. This authenticity is evident in her videos, which are characterised by their simplicity and naturalness.
Meanwhile, another viral video on TikTok showcases a Yorkshire terrier enthusiastically unearthing potatoes in a garden. The video, recorded by Tyler Robinson, reached 10 million views in just three days. The harvest depicted was impressive, and some viewers coined a new breed for the dog - 'potato terrier'.
The video was widely appreciated by Belarusians, with many viewers drawing parallels between the industrious worker in the video and the dog from the 'Turnip' fairy tale. Some even joked about borrowing the dog for the weekend or suggested that with such a helper, a tractor would be unnecessary.
Interestingly, Ivanova did not mention any connection between her TikTok videos and the Yorkshire terrier potatoes video. However, the videos share a common thread - they both resonate with viewers due to their honesty and simplicity.
In the comments section of Ivanova's videos, no hate was found. Instead, viewers often cooed over the little helper in the Yorkshire terrier potatoes video, and Ivanova's videos were filled with positive comments and support.
As Ivanova continues to create and share her videos, she is demonstrating that authenticity and honesty can indeed capture the hearts of millions on social media.
