久しぶり is a phrase used to mean "long time no see," or "it's been a long time since you've done something." Although ”long time no see" is one of the translations for this phrase, in the context of it being left as a comment on a TikTok video, the intended meaning is probably something closer to, "I haven't seen your videos in a while." Or something like, "I'm seeing your videos on my feed again after a longtime."

In this video, a street photographer was trying to ask a few tourists if they would mind having their pictures taken. However, due to the language barrier they were having a hard time understanding each other, which led to the street photographer having to become very creative with his explanation. A commenter said ヘラヘラしてなくて好き. ヘラヘラ is commonly combined to make ヘラヘラ笑ってる or "carelessly laughing." The machine translated ヘラヘラ as "sloppy," but in this case, the commenter was most likely expressing how they appreciate the photographer taking the time to explain instead of making fun of them.
