So I have this friend who i've known for a few years now and he's recently started getting really into making TikTok content. Which is totally cool, I've been posting for several years so it's no judgement, and he's having fun. He makes your standard gym-bro and bro thirst trap content, he posts like 5-6 times a day, plus stories.

This is where the conflict arises. the content on my fyp is lots of makeup, cozy gaming, crafts, etc. his content doesnt really line up with what my algorithm is giving me, because thats not content im interested in consuming. if his videos pop up in my friends section i'll usually like the video and maybe leave a comment like "get those gains bro!" to be supportive, he posts frequently, but i'll naturally see a video maybe once or twice a week because of the algorithm.

So he sends me his tiktoks. all of them. videos, stories, carousels, all in my inbox the second theyre posted. if i dont like them within a time frame he deems fast enough, i'll literally get a text asking if i saw his latest post and if i can like it. posting is also becoming the main topic of conversation with myself and mutual friends with him and a few of us agree its becoming a bit obsessive.

A few days ago he posted like, 10 videos and sent me every single one. i got annoyed and snappy, I said "hey, can you stop sending me everything you post and asking me to like them? it's a lot, i mean if i see your posts i'll like them, but this is kind of getting weird". He then responds with "i'm just trying to grow my account and maybe make some money off of it down the line, i just want you to be supportive." to which i responded with "i encouraged you to start posting in the first place and i do support you, i just feel like its a bit rude to constantly send me your videos and demand i like them within like 20 minutes of being posted. also its not my favorite thing to like your thirst traps when a) youre my friend and b) i have a boyfriend whos uncomfortable with me liking those posts". he then brought up the fact that he likes my posts too, but i dont send mine to him, and he maybe likes one a week. also if he comments on a post, its usually actually kind of making fun of me and feels demeaning (usually comments along the lines of "omg loser do you think youre an influencer or something?" (ironic) I also don't care if he does or doesnt like my posts, my content is very niche and for a female audience, so i dont expect him to watch.

We argued for like 10 minutes about it, and finally i was just like "whatever, its not that big of a deal, lets just drop it." He's still sending me all of his posts, but i've stopped liking any that dont naturally hit my fyp/friends tab.

Anyways, AITA here and being unsupportive? i do think i could have approached the topic better, but am i wrong to be annoyed in the first place?
