Fortunately for PoloBoy, that wasn’t how things went for him. Within less than a year of starting his TikTok account, he started to see lots of success.

PoloBoy likes to keep his platform more on the comical side, but there are some things he’s serious about. During his interview with DRT, PoloBoy said, “My biggest fear is 100% global warming. I often think about my future kid(s). I want to be able to drag them in a sled across the snow after a big storm in New York City—like I did as a kid.
