Maybe I'm too old, but I DO NOT understand the TikTok livestreams of people sleeping, obvious pre-recorded video, etc...and people sending gifts constantly.

The "creator fund" incentivized just posting a lot, sharing, and once Tiktok shop was introduced almost every other video is someone talking about "Tiktok shop made a mistake on pricing buy this item". Shills all of them. I don't think being a "creator" on TikTok should be a "job" for people.
