What are the chances that this video has been viewed 10 billion times? Zero. That usually is a good indicator of clickbait, or at least a very unreliable source. In 2023, the estimated Earth population is 8 billion. Unless your 10 billion number is a typo….

It is the New York Post. Not my normal source for news. The number may be exaggerated, but we did put all of our ribbon in one collection and tweeted it with #Christmastree #bows. We saw an increase in linkovers. You don’t have to buy the number or click the link to promote your ribbon for Christmas tree bows. We were just hoping to help people make sales.

According to the link in the article, it’s now 11.3 billion. I don’t use tiktok, but here’s the link the NYP supplied https://www.tiktok.com/discover/christmas-tree-bows?lang=en

Trying again since the images didn’t appear the first time.
I wish there was a “this size only” option, since switching between ribbon sizes messes up a lot of the designs.

It’s probably because people view them multiple times, as they watch and rewatch the tutorial videos. But it does seem grossly exaggerated.
