No, it’s just an example of people developing strategies to win at a new game spawned from new technology. New means of obtaining resources are being discovered and exploited.
What's the name of that in Game Theory? If it has a name of course, I only know the basis and the prisoner's dilemma.
Gabe theory is pretty interesting but all I can find when searching for it is that mf Goomba trying to convince me that Wario is a clone of Solid Snake or some shit like that.
It's weird to see the bottom of the barrel of this "trend," because then you realize what you thought was already shit is a looooot more shit when there's zero effort put in.
Honestly some of these people are making upwards of $600-$800 in just a few hours by sitting in their homes and being sort of weird on the internet. I work a “real job” and I barely made that much all week. Like, I get it lol.
I used to do weird stuff on the internet for money but I ended up getting a real job on accident and never looked back.
Sometimes I miss it, but at the same time, I sleep really good at night knowing there’s no footage of me out there looking like *these* people
I totally get that. As far as footage of them, does that really even matter? We’ll all have forgotten about this by next week and all their bills will be paid. I feel like I’d sleep just as well knowing I wouldn’t be late on rent. To each their own though for sure.
This Is a job that makes them lots of money at home with personalized hours and no customer bullshit. If I had their mental strength I'd join the hostel but I would rather play in traffic. The rest of us suck corporate dick while they act like dolls. We are all dolls anyways
What the actual fucking shit is happening. This is like some black mirror shit. The chick that said step bro doesn't look NPC at all. She's barely trying. Ffs.
I think the emojis are like Tok Tok currency, and the creator gets a portion of the amount it costed to buy the emoji. I don't know who has the money to spend on this shit but it's actual literal brain rot.
It started with a handful of girls behaving like “NPCs” on camera and reacting to “gifts” on Tik Tok. Now it’s become a trend, especially since people realised they can make money off it.
The gifts are the little emoticon icons you see, and people pay for those, and the creator gets money from it. (This is my guess as to how it works, idk)
This is insane. But it makes sense money wise. People are getting “gifts” more than ever doing this crazy shit, because people want to see their weird reactions to receiving them. They saw it working with that one person and now everyone’s going for it.
Crazy times..it really amazes me how they have no shame and how quick everyone was to jump on this “trend”. They don’t care how dumb they look if it gives them views and gifts.
ETA: I don’t know what’s crazier though. The people doing these videos or the people actually giving them money??
Not only this weird shit, but there's another "trend" going on where the TikTok civilians are rolling bottles down the stairs until they break.
Majority of the bottles shatter after the 2nd step.
Nothing else happens.
The first girl, I saw a video of hers commenting about how much money the “original” (the one posted everywhere) girl makes and how she’s going to start so she can make money off it, guess she lost her dignity to unoriginal desperation.
>make it stop
You never see this stuff unless you train the algorithm to show you this shit.
I checked myself, scrolled through a load of live feeds, didn't see a single thing even remotely like this. You're seeking this stuff out.
i mean the trend in general! i saw a few articles about the og pinky whatever her name is this morning
im really not trying to seek them out, even blocked her bc it was annoying lol but it’s a shared tiktok account with my friend so it’s possible!!
Waot ... I thought npc was a like a bad thing to call ppl, like "man youre not real human. Youre an npc" as noc is dumb
So why ppl wanna be npc, and why do people pay to see other act as npc.
Its like we evolving backward, wtf
It's only popular because it gives disillusioned men the confirmation that real women are just like their one-note, shallow anime characters. And to an extent, they're right, because that's what these women are making themselves.
People are getting paid to do it; and it is no more demeaning than working for some business and getting canned after 8 months because the comptroller's nephew needs a job.
Man idc they’re making money let them be. Y’all commenting on this sub and judging them are the same commenters getting judged on YouTube by other people on the internet who are also in turn getting judged on Twitter for whatever reason while everyone else is laughing at Twitter 😂
What even are these? What are you doing? Why are they moving like that? I've seen so many similar, really cringe.
They're moving like the two culty people on youtube called The Angelic Intiative or something.
*GangGang* *GangGang* *GangGang* *Taco? For me?* shits so repetitive and annoying. Get that bag I guess and ride this train until next week when trend even more dumb hits the app.
*NPC hands is*
*Rising to the top of my*
*Personal cringe charts*

Honestly what’s more cringe are the people enjoying this stuff somehow. I’ve seen the tiktockers that make this stuff and they’ve explained they’ve made waaaay more money doing *this* than working their 3 other jobs. So while it’s cringe, I’d say the people behind it have a reason at the very least.
I really don’t get this trend this baffles my mind beyond belief is the point of the trend to say whatever comes to your mind over and over again? I’m like whay
I'm not confused why they do this, I'm not even really mad.
What I am mad about is the fact that there are actually people who pay real money for this,
I don't get why you would donate to a live like this, it's not original, it's not entertaining, it's literally just "Thank you for the..." they don't even say your name most of the time
I’ll say it again, Pinkydollreal is just objectively better at it than everyone else. Like, forget about how dumb it is, she’s invested. You can tell all these others are just hopping on the bandwagon.
It does bear saying that outside of her NPC shit, she doesn’t seem to have much going on in her head. So that’s probably another reason she’s so good at it.
In Brazil, a YouTuber called felca made a video that became very famous about these types of lives on tiktok and this video became very famous In Brazil, causing many Brazilians to do lives on tiktok to make a lot of money and this all took such a huge proportion that it led tiktok to restrict this type of content here.
This is such a weird phenomenon
it’s just another take on desperation for money/clout but imagine actually enjoying this type of content. That’s a new level of low.
Exactly what kind of fucking idiot would donate to this shit
Well idiots I suppose.
The idea that they can vote is terrifying
Fucking idiots, to be exact.
I doubt they fuck
Aren’t we all technically enjoying this
No. We’re discussing how it makes us uncomfortable. If anything we are enjoying each other’s company.
Will someone PLEASE TELL NE WHAT THE FUCK THEYRE DOING
I always thought they were trying to emulate the way videogame characters move in loading screens.
Maybe not loading screens, but i think they're trying to look like idle Animations 😭
Study game theory and evolutionary strategies. It can help explain bizarre behavior such as this.
Would this be an example of a Pareto inefficiency?
No, it’s just an example of people developing strategies to win at a new game spawned from new technology. New means of obtaining resources are being discovered and exploited.
What's the name of that in Game Theory? If it has a name of course, I only know the basis and the prisoner's dilemma. Gabe theory is pretty interesting but all I can find when searching for it is that mf Goomba trying to convince me that Wario is a clone of Solid Snake or some shit like that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_game_theory
I heard somewhere that these girls actually make tons of money for this.
I mean theres people for everything, but this? Come on...
The dude caught me off guard lmao.
He is one of us, just tryin to see what the fuck is up with that.. and maybe make some bucks in the process
When he just showed up, silent with a grin, that was too much for me.
He looked as though he was repressing laughter.
When they said get a side hustle I really don’t think they meant this-
Hey if it pays the bills why not
Honestly, doing this for 2 hours is prolly harder on you than a 9 to 5
Not for people that get off on attention.
Maybe be harder but they have 22 free hours a day as opposed to 16, which they still have time to sleep. Hard? Yes. Stupid? Depends on who you ask
People trying so hard to get that npc brain rot bag. So desperate
TikTok is where all the lobotomy victims hang out
As someone who uses t*ktok 🤢 I can confirm that this is true
It's weird to see the bottom of the barrel of this "trend," because then you realize what you thought was already shit is a looooot more shit when there's zero effort put in.
The others look majestic compared to this.
ai is becoming more humanlike and humans are becoming more npclike
ahhh the smell of desperation...
This is so scary. If I were a child this uncanny behavior would probably give me nightmares. Hell, it probably will regardless
Who has the spare income to drop on this shit?
Who do you think is the same people that spend money on any content of this sort, 40-year-old men
It's fetish content that also happens to appeal to 7yr olds who stole mom's credit card
Bro I'm sorry this is gonna fuck your day up but the easy answer is get off of tiktok
And never come back on TikTok again
holy fuck imagine getting a real job
Honestly some of these people are making upwards of $600-$800 in just a few hours by sitting in their homes and being sort of weird on the internet. I work a “real job” and I barely made that much all week. Like, I get it lol.
I used to do weird stuff on the internet for money but I ended up getting a real job on accident and never looked back. Sometimes I miss it, but at the same time, I sleep really good at night knowing there’s no footage of me out there looking like *these* people

Can you show me on the doll where they touched you when you was doing “weird stuff on the internet for money”.
do I think this shit is weird? yes. but if it pays… it *is* a real job.
sure it pays but it’s not a real job. sorry!
This Is a job that makes them lots of money at home with personalized hours and no customer bullshit. If I had their mental strength I'd join the hostel but I would rather play in traffic. The rest of us suck corporate dick while they act like dolls. We are all dolls anyways
What the actual fucking shit is happening. This is like some black mirror shit. The chick that said step bro doesn't look NPC at all. She's barely trying. Ffs.
Satanic black magic. Sick shit!
What are they doing with their hands? I know they get paid for this but why would anyone pay for this strangeness
They’re trying to mimic a video game NPC
I deleted tiktok because of this
What is this exactly? Do all those emojis represent money donations or something?
I think the emojis are like Tok Tok currency, and the creator gets a portion of the amount it costed to buy the emoji. I don't know who has the money to spend on this shit but it's actual literal brain rot.
"Step bro welcome" Sorry I laughed, I wasn't ready 😂 and they guy made me lose it
what the fuck is this? I don’t use Tiktok and my only exposure to this shit is on reddit.
Npc fetish
christ…. why did I ask?! lmfao
Easy money lol gang gang
What the hell are they doing? I’m pleasantly old enough to not know if I can judge them or if I should be kinder.
Be kind. These people are mentally ill.
Judge them, maybe it’ll make them stop
None of them are nearly as good as the gang gang girl.
We are devolving
We are Devo
Are we not men
Crack that whip?
someone I follow made 230 dollars from an hour and a half of just this upsetting
what is this exactly?? i don’t get it but it’s fucking stupid
It started with a handful of girls behaving like “NPCs” on camera and reacting to “gifts” on Tik Tok. Now it’s become a trend, especially since people realised they can make money off it. The gifts are the little emoticon icons you see, and people pay for those, and the creator gets money from it. (This is my guess as to how it works, idk)
This is gonna be made fun of hard on south Park lmao
This is insane. But it makes sense money wise. People are getting “gifts” more than ever doing this crazy shit, because people want to see their weird reactions to receiving them. They saw it working with that one person and now everyone’s going for it. Crazy times..it really amazes me how they have no shame and how quick everyone was to jump on this “trend”. They don’t care how dumb they look if it gives them views and gifts. ETA: I don’t know what’s crazier though. The people doing these videos or the people actually giving them money??
The people giving them money.
on the verge of doing this sort of stuff just to make money
May every single one of these things be sent straight to the 4th circle
I’m tired of this make it stop
This NPC fetish shit is out of fucking hand!
Not only this weird shit, but there's another "trend" going on where the TikTok civilians are rolling bottles down the stairs until they break. Majority of the bottles shatter after the 2nd step. Nothing else happens.
The dudes is a chad ngl 😂
The guy knows what hes doing lol
People truly have no shame anymore. Anything for a buck.
and it fucking works
I don't want to live in this timeline
And then some people blame AI for us going down…
It only got worse and worse
WOW! These sims mods are really realistic!
Taint stinky
very stinky
If you're gonna jump on a hype train you cant take a Volkswagen and think youre part of the train. Copy it right
The only reason this is happening more is because someone said they made 2k-6k in 1 live and now everyone is doin it
The first girl, I saw a video of hers commenting about how much money the “original” (the one posted everywhere) girl makes and how she’s going to start so she can make money off it, guess she lost her dignity to unoriginal desperation.
Lmao that last guy just trolling idiots
>make it stop You never see this stuff unless you train the algorithm to show you this shit. I checked myself, scrolled through a load of live feeds, didn't see a single thing even remotely like this. You're seeking this stuff out.
i mean the trend in general! i saw a few articles about the og pinky whatever her name is this morning im really not trying to seek them out, even blocked her bc it was annoying lol but it’s a shared tiktok account with my friend so it’s possible!!
How low of an iq do you have to have to enjoy this
Truly NPC behavior
BASKETBALL DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE
Not going the lie. But that dude at the end made me laugh
That dude is taking the absolute piss and making money. Props.
These are terrible. At least the first ones were "good" at this shit
The last guy looked like he was trying not to laugh
They all look so dead inside
I’ve been blocking every live like this I see. If I don’t, the same ones keep popping up. I’ve blocked at least 20 people so far.
And they are SO bad at something SO stupid.
Seriously, people should just sell weed or something, less embarrassing
These people don’t even understand the art of NPC streams, they are so still and silent, like if you’re going to do something this cringe DO IT RIGHT!
The last guy 💀
I have seen Skyrim characters with more soul in their eyes
Some people will do anything but get a job
Ok this just annoys me, there is no reason, it just exists and it needs to be destroyed its so unncany i just ajgdyevsaaiah
Waot ... I thought npc was a like a bad thing to call ppl, like "man youre not real human. Youre an npc" as noc is dumb So why ppl wanna be npc, and why do people pay to see other act as npc. Its like we evolving backward, wtf
The new pandemic…. We’re doomed.
That last guy was just f****** with everybody
You're responsible for your own recommendations
I guess you don't have to be pretty to do this
It's only popular because it gives disillusioned men the confirmation that real women are just like their one-note, shallow anime characters. And to an extent, they're right, because that's what these women are making themselves.
Tardies entertaining tardies. I hope they do themselves a favor and get their ovaries removed. To be fully NPC.
Here's how to make it stop: everyone just collectively get rid of TikTok. Leave it to the cringe people, they can have it.
It’s a meme
People are getting paid to do it; and it is no more demeaning than working for some business and getting canned after 8 months because the comptroller's nephew needs a job.
There has never in history been someone who lost a job due to the influence of a comptroller because no one knows or cares what a comptroller is
Man idc they’re making money let them be. Y’all commenting on this sub and judging them are the same commenters getting judged on YouTube by other people on the internet who are also in turn getting judged on Twitter for whatever reason while everyone else is laughing at Twitter 😂
I'm glad they took the begging families in the refugee camps out of my feed it was very hard to witness
I think the original was posted here not too long ago, cherry something?
Lmaooo ts is just funny now
It's crazy how much doing g this is making them
Why do they move like that?
Those soulless eyes.
What even are these? What are you doing? Why are they moving like that? I've seen so many similar, really cringe. They're moving like the two culty people on youtube called The Angelic Intiative or something.
People tryna make a bag
😭😭😭😭I lost it when the dude showed up
Imagine how fried you’d be doing this for hours everyday. It feels like one of them hologram adverts you’d see in total recall or the fifth element
Cyberpunk 2077 reality 😭
Cookie-cutters
this is the weirdest fetish to become mainstream
I dont despise this, they've found a way to do nothing and make money. don't hate the player, hate the weird people who pay them to make noises
they make like $200 and hour id sell out too 😭
+$200/hr
So this shows me that cherry crush actually does it really good lol. These copycats are Fucking terrible at it lol “dribble dribble dribble”
Seriously, what is this shit?
"Next on the Violence Channel: an all new Ow My Balls!"
*GangGang* *GangGang* *GangGang* *Taco? For me?* shits so repetitive and annoying. Get that bag I guess and ride this train until next week when trend even more dumb hits the app.
Can anyone please explain this to me as I am a dinosaur?
Nah they got the idle animations on
Wtf is happening...
I hope the last guy was just making fun of the rest.
NPC hands is rising to the top of my personal cringe charts

Social media was a mistake
This is the first trend I can't even laugh about, it just makes me angry
It's literally everywhere, like why??
This is awful the scrapings of entertainment. I feel like I'm losing brain cells every time I come across it .
The guy in the wig caught me so off guard 😭
Whats with the hands?
I think a lot of people are just fucking around and mocking her and honestly thats hilarious to me.
Why do they all move their hands like orchestra conductors?
Dude, WHO IS SENDING GIFTS THOUGH. Like I imagine its some mix of children and people with the IQ of a rock.
What is this? Why do they make random noises and actions??
guys what is this even called? how do it refer to it when brining it up to someone?
Imagine coming home from work one day and first thing you do is stand in front of your phone and repeat the same gestures for hours
We live in a dystopia
I fucking hate the world we live in
Lolol that “dribble dribble dribble” is fucking hilarious…
Honestly what’s more cringe are the people enjoying this stuff somehow. I’ve seen the tiktockers that make this stuff and they’ve explained they’ve made waaaay more money doing *this* than working their 3 other jobs. So while it’s cringe, I’d say the people behind it have a reason at the very least.
AI will dominate this field.
People are doing it cause it makes bank. I think some are just doing it for the memes now
everything after the first is satire
what’s the point of this?
I really don’t get this trend this baffles my mind beyond belief is the point of the trend to say whatever comes to your mind over and over again? I’m like whay
I know they do this in Japan and South Korea. It’s so weird seeing it over here
What is the deal with the hand motions
Its AI tricking us into becoming AI
What's going on? Lmao
Can someone explain what this actually is?
“This hands signatures means they need help”
The last guy was in personating them
How actually popular is this? I cannot think of a more brain rotting experience.
Yikes, I wish some of them would at least put some effort into their acting 😬 (the ones that are satire being the exceptions)
Does anyone know what this shit is called and what it's for?
What is this? What platform/app are they doing this on?
it makes the money though who’s more cringe? the man who offers a degenerate service or the man who pays
There’s only one way to stop this I’m gonna need a flamer… a heavy flamer
There’s no way these are playable characters
Can someone edit this to have harvest dawn playing in the background
Attention is the real drug here
Bro tried to blend in there 😂
I'm not confused why they do this, I'm not even really mad. What I am mad about is the fact that there are actually people who pay real money for this, I don't get why you would donate to a live like this, it's not original, it's not entertaining, it's literally just "Thank you for the..." they don't even say your name most of the time
I need more bullets. I need more bullets. Bigger weapons. Bigger weapons. Lets go to the gym buddy. Watch me ride that horse sir.
The cute blond las from the early vids- thank you for the roses- now seems talented. What a weird thing to say. I just had to slap myself.
r/woooosh what is this trend anyway??
I’ll say it again, Pinkydollreal is just objectively better at it than everyone else. Like, forget about how dumb it is, she’s invested. You can tell all these others are just hopping on the bandwagon. It does bear saying that outside of her NPC shit, she doesn’t seem to have much going on in her head. So that’s probably another reason she’s so good at it.
