apparently the business model goes like this:

-tiktok lets you buy emotes, or maybe a few instances of using an emote, I'm not sure. this gives tiktok money
-if you then use that emote on someone's stream, tiktok will give some of that money to them as revenue share
-this person is entertainingly good at pantomiming emotes irl
-this attracts a large number of emote users to her stream so as long as she holds their attention by acting like a glitching disney robot they will keep using emotes and thus giving her money

the influencer economy is weird and confusing. good for her, but i can't imagine who is spending money on this poo poo

it seems like a good scam, if you can get it going. i can't imagine the work that goes into having to find the next way to get money from being a meme, once the current meme is played out

I get really mad that the machine exists that incentivizes this. I get really mad that any amount of human talent and creativity is misspent on this trash. They should be able to get that bag doing something fulfilling.

yeah it's a lot harder than you think to repeat gestures and words hundreds of times in a row for hours on end

yeah i guess it's more this. i don't know who's spending money on this crap but i guess its kids, they might be incentivized to emulate that behavior because they think they can hit it big doing this (or other influencer bullshit). but it's probably a small subset of people doing it that make any appreciable amount

i appreciate and am jealous when people find a way to scam the system for easy money but it would be depressing if this was what they did all day every day to make a living lol

my son said he wanted to start a youtube channel (like all kids do, his motivation was specifically to be famous and rich) and i have never had a harder time trying to resolve the internal conflict between being an encouraging, supportive parent and the urge to tell him that it's a dumb idea
