(CNN) Summer Clayton may not have children in real life, but he's a "proud dad" to 2.8 million people on TikTok. He looks into the camera with empathy and tells them he's proud of them. He started posting on TikTok in late 2020 with inspirational and how-to videos, prompting followers to jokingly call him "dad." I think 'your proud dad' stuck because one of the people who follow me commented on one of my posts and said, 'hey, dad,'" he says. In one recent video , Clayton addressed the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
