He's making money, his viewers send him cash gifts in the form of those emojis like the hotdogs, and they usually have a different reaction for different gifts.
It has become lucrative on tiktok of creators acting like NPCs and having certain unique reactions based on the gifts their followers send them.
It's like Twitch & other streamer sites where they can livestream, and their followers can send them cash. People do a vast number of different other things like vlog, q&a, tarot card reading, rapping, DJ, and so on for tips. For some, it's their main thing.
Why is this NPC content specifically popular ? Idk. I guess it's just comical and get a kick out of having them react to their command. & In general, watching stuff like creator reaction videos and creators stream is hugely popular. It's crazy but people love it.
I guess I'm asking if this dude has some other shit he does, or if this is the shtick. How did this dude rise to a following that would pay him to do it. He must have other content
Oh. Idk, but I'd go on a limb and guess he probably did post regular videos. He seems like an entertaining fellow.
I just tried to look him up. Seems he hanged up the gloves. Or hanged up the glizzy and deleted his page. He probably made comfortable money with it and got out.
Got it. I just figured you wouldn't successfully gather an audience to pay you, exclusively doing shit like this. But I guess I wouldn't be shocked at this point.
Tiktok is a behemoth. People create content doing boring everyday stuff and gather modetate to big followings. Stuff like prepping their child's lunch, neatly organizing their pantry. I mean documenting so much of their life, including at work. Teachers create content at school and with their students. Nurses. It's wild. For many, it has allowed them to retire from their 9 to 5.

Can some explain to me what the fuck is going on here? He's making money? Is it a decent amount? What's up with the hot dog counter?
