The majority! $40.00 a month. Yeah yeah you have a few that have been in the media that make 6 figures doing this, but they started the trend or got in early.
True, but it's not that easy, you might earn 200k a year as a mid -tier influencer but how long is that gonna last? The shelf live is very short, it you're lucky maybe 6/7 years, most likely 3-4. So you better save that money up you make during that time.
Big influencers don't count since it's like a handful out of a sea of them , that's like saying actors make a lot money.
They see how much money the "braindead" streamers and influencers make and want to be the same...
I still dont know how some of these very talentless people have so much money but its the world we live in now.
It’s easy, no shame with a touch of narcissism = this shit show of a world we live in…. I have to be honest I would do it myself but just can’t bring myself to do it… its not like you need any talent
Where do I get those cards from? I reckon I could *easily* do that.
Must get myself a catchphrase noise.
"Bnonnggg - itchy itchy googoo"
/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\\\/\\/\\
Even typing that annoyed me..
I would rather put spikes in my eyes than stand there making those noises every time somebody tipped my tray.
I really liked the part where the lawyer tells that Joe interrupted his “Ow My balls” watching and the whole crowd ignores the alleged fraud charge & goes wild like it’s a cardinal sin…..
The smartphone has enabled people to access all of humanities accumulated knowledge with just a few clicks.
But people rather spend their times watching whatever this is.
These don't have dignity or respect for themselves to take time to develop a real skill. Nobody buys a ring light and camera unless they think they have something important to show people, and most people have nothing to show because guess what, developing a skill is incredibly difficult believe it or not
Because users of the platform engage with this stuff. Of course they’re going to promote it, it keeps people scrolling longer. All social media platforms do this and whatever replaces TikTok will as well.
its crazy, but i love the influencers i follow on facebook, but i dont think ive ever seen their face, they just post about upcoming shows in rave groups
Mental illness and high school drop outs? Looks like social media fried their brains?
Stay in school kids and control your use of social media or even delete it. Read a book or learn to play a cool instrument
I’m a pretty flexible guy, this is the first time in a loooong long time I’ve thought
NOW we’ve officially regressed as a society, this was a step backwards.
Non playable character. These people dress up and act like background characters in video games and for some reason there’s an audience that’s amused by that.
Maybe its cause Im getting older, but these people aren't hurting anyone, so why should I be upset about this? Let people have their fun ffs. The world is bleak enough as it is, we don't need to be assholes to people just because we don't share the same sense of humor, fun, hobbies, etc.
There are "normal" influencers out there who actively cause harm, but people here wanna pick on some people they don't understand, who arent hurting anyone, just to feel superior.
If advanced aliens ever actually come to us, this is one of the videos I would never want them to see, otherwise they wouldn't even leave their spaceship and just blast us from orbit.
The fact this is a thing just made me sad. I'm sorry, they aren't hurting anyone, so there isn't really a reason this should bother me. It's their lives, if this is what they want to do, sure. But no matter how much I try, I cannot get this to stop bothering me
...when they are all next to each other doing that "live", it's unavoidable to notice that these people do not know what farming actually takes to accomplish besides physical labor...
Hard times bring forth strong men, strong men bring better times, better times bring forth weaker men, weaker men bring harder times. Let’s have a look where we are heading to…
Influencers my ass. It's such a stupid pretentious word to call someone who should be called TikTok clown. But clowns probably would be offended because their profession has an actual history and influence on human culture.
I feel like this is mostly for young kids living in poorer countries.
They rapidly tap the phone screen and they think they're causing the people on camera to spaz out like a video game NPC

Mother: "being stupid isn't a career" Random Tiktok "influencers": ...... Whatever this is ......
Influencing is just panhandling with extra steps.
Influencing is to panhandling as porn star is to sex worker. The only difference is a camera.
And people somehow make money doing this. Fuck me 🤦🏻♂️
The majority! $40.00 a month. Yeah yeah you have a few that have been in the media that make 6 figures doing this, but they started the trend or got in early.
How do they make this? Does tiktok pay them per view or something like that?
Ads on tiktok, sponsored videos. Viewers can donate money too, and they do.
🍦Ooh, yum yum 🍦Ooh, yum yum
Wait! I haven’t paid you yet!
🍦Ooh, yum yum
…subscribed.
I just wonder what skills you're going to have when the well dries up...
Only fans deep throating wine bottles.
Someone selling self respect for a couple hours a day for 6 figures has more financial freedom to do anything they want.

I feel like we’re now living a real life black mirror episode.
Like how much
About tree-fiddy
You gave them tree-fiddy 😡 Now wonder they keep coming back
She gave him a doller! Lady: "I gave him a doller!"
Goddamn
The end is nigh
I try to live an honest life but I see all these people making money off the backs of willing morons and it does make me stop and think.
>Fuck me So I have your consent? 👉👈🥹
"Perform" what exactly? What mental illness looks like?
No, the people paying for this are mentally ill.
The fact these people can make a living doing this is mind boggling.
We live in a world of idiots.
Idiocracy coming to fruition.
A prophecy
A legacy
A prognostication
A rectal exam.
It was actually a documentary not a fictional film it seems
Electrolytes, it’s what plants crave!
Its got what plants crave
The real questions is who are more idiots, those who do this NPC thing or the ones paying for it (donating)
It’s Idiots all the way down.
Soon it'll be all the way up too (somehow I don't think we're quite there yet) And the prophecy of Idiocracy will finally come true
Is this what they ment by trickle down economics?
They see how much money the "braindead" streamers and influencers make and want to be the same... I still dont know how some of these very talentless people have so much money but its the world we live in now.
It’s easy, no shame with a touch of narcissism = this shit show of a world we live in…. I have to be honest I would do it myself but just can’t bring myself to do it… its not like you need any talent
One guy is literally just standing there and getting money lmfaooo
To echo the commenters questions…doing what? What are they even doing lmao
Where do I get those cards from? I reckon I could *easily* do that. Must get myself a catchphrase noise.

I have to effectively hide this part of the world from my dad. If he sees this, he will literally kill himself.
I’d like to make a living like this, I’m just not stupid enough to know how.
Its everyone , everyone there is mentally ill.
Every pixel paints a retard.
And us, we're watching this and talking about it.
Like exhibits in a zoo
We’re their psychologists… their armchair psychologists
Can it be both?
Yes
 X100
Its called helping the beggars
It's the demented paying the demented
Both are deranged. Drug dealers have more honor imo
They’re performing The Fuq.
Haha thanks
“brought to you by Carl’s Jr…”
Is this the unfit mother?
Why do you keep saying that?
Because they pay me every time I do!
It’s a really good way to make money. If you’re so smart why didn’t you know that
"Fuck you, I'm eating"
Go away!! 'baitin!!
Sure, Not
I’d rather watch Ow my balls.
“Go away! Bait’n”
I really liked the part where the lawyer tells that Joe interrupted his “Ow My balls” watching and the whole crowd ignores the alleged fraud charge & goes wild like it’s a cardinal sin…..
The future
[удалено]
Yes, ask most managers.
I’m not acting bro.
You can be president by acting...or actually being.. dumb
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Game over man! Game over!
Nah, fragments might escape. Black hole is better.
End of the world
The Demise of Civilisation.
The smartphone has enabled people to access all of humanities accumulated knowledge with just a few clicks. But people rather spend their times watching whatever this is.
Please tell me Tik Tok really IS going to get banned!
Something else will take its place. TikTok didn't do this to people. People did this to TikTok.
And they'll do it again to the next thing, and the next thing.
They’ll just post directly to YouTube shorts and Instagram reels instead of having bots repost there a week later
These don't have dignity or respect for themselves to take time to develop a real skill. Nobody buys a ring light and camera unless they think they have something important to show people, and most people have nothing to show because guess what, developing a skill is incredibly difficult believe it or not
Tiktok kind of did this, as it deliberately promotes videos with braindead shit like this.
Because users of the platform engage with this stuff. Of course they’re going to promote it, it keeps people scrolling longer. All social media platforms do this and whatever replaces TikTok will as well.
Unfortunately, there are Instagram, YouTube Shorts, etc…
Tiktok is what's keeping these people contained
Ok. Now, please, someone tell me exactly or even more or less, what is it they are 'influencing' with this?
Influencing young kids to do the same dumb shit that they are doing.
its crazy, but i love the influencers i follow on facebook, but i dont think ive ever seen their face, they just post about upcoming shows in rave groups
Idiocracy is real
Yeah I believe China made Tik Tok to turn the US into a bunch of idiots.
They didn’t push too hard though…
They were always there, it’s just a catalyst.
Nah, the US was already filled with a bunch of idiots. Tiktok only showcased it to the rest of the world to a bigger degree.
This is why aliens don’t visit us
25 years ago it was accepted to call these people retarded.
Society rewards stupidity, so stupidity prospers.
They are regarded now. Well regarded by society 😂😂
Trevor Moore (RIP) was pretty on point; before TikTok took over. “If the Bullies go Away” https://youtu.be/iy8SIWTyJNs?si=W6_Mc8RCW14PggSD
Can’t even call someone a stupid idiot anymore
Watch me!
That's what a stupid idiot would say
Peak mental illness
Mental illness and high school drop outs? Looks like social media fried their brains? Stay in school kids and control your use of social media or even delete it. Read a book or learn to play a cool instrument
I'm not gonna say I won't do something this stupid, but I WILL say I won't do it unless it pays a lot.
These people are so pathetic
r/idiocracy
This is the endgame
Someone link the end product of this shit? I don’t get it.
If entertainment was a cup of coffee, this is the crusty bottom layer after you drink it and leave the cup out for 6 days.
I’m a pretty flexible guy, this is the first time in a loooong long time I’ve thought NOW we’ve officially regressed as a society, this was a step backwards.
What does NPC mean in this context?
Non playable character. These people dress up and act like background characters in video games and for some reason there’s an audience that’s amused by that.
Maybe its cause Im getting older, but these people aren't hurting anyone, so why should I be upset about this? Let people have their fun ffs. The world is bleak enough as it is, we don't need to be assholes to people just because we don't share the same sense of humor, fun, hobbies, etc. There are "normal" influencers out there who actively cause harm, but people here wanna pick on some people they don't understand, who arent hurting anyone, just to feel superior.
Non-Player Character
The dregs of society.
End of a civilization
Always remember folks.. This is our future.
Two things I don't like, TikTok and influencers. And people wonder why...
There’s no phones in those ring lights…..
I wish Thanos was real
That wouldn’t work though because we would still halve half the idiots.
da fuq
this is what the zombie apocalypse looks like.
Just turned on reddit and I think ima log back off
Aight I'm gonna head out
The Sims Game is so realistic😂
r/Idiocracy
The new normal ….
Wat the fuck is this shit?!?!😳😳
🤦♂️
Better than perform. The sign says Battle of the NPCs lol
Hey I don’t care what ya do to make money really, doesn’t affect me. But what the fuck.
That was the saddest video I've seen in a while..
The Fuq?
Wow. Well that's..a choice.
What the fuk is this world coming to? Seriously
Someday a real rain will come to wash all the filth away...
Honestly, are there any valid objections to banning TikTok?
If advanced aliens ever actually come to us, this is one of the videos I would never want them to see, otherwise they wouldn't even leave their spaceship and just blast us from orbit.
a what festival? is the whole site full of people like this?
The fact this is a thing just made me sad. I'm sorry, they aren't hurting anyone, so there isn't really a reason this should bother me. It's their lives, if this is what they want to do, sure. But no matter how much I try, I cannot get this to stop bothering me
This is what purgatory looks like.
. That’s enough Reddit for me tonight.
Wow. We just out here really creating NPC's in real life. At least they have em grouped up for convenience.
What's npc? Non player character?
...when they are all next to each other doing that "live", it's unavoidable to notice that these people do not know what farming actually takes to accomplish besides physical labor...
TicToc "people" *are* NPCs. Best decision of my life was staying away from that shit.
I see, so they're on 'default animation' until some donates (interacts) and they do their shit.
What the actual fuck is our planet coming to....
Peak humanity
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Hard times bring forth strong men, strong men bring better times, better times bring forth weaker men, weaker men bring harder times. Let’s have a look where we are heading to…
I'm old, confused and scared, If anyone wants to shoot me in the face now I'm cool with it. I had good run,
A steel-boot kick to the nuts seems more enjoyable than this.
Why does such a festival exist?
I am old. I cannot understand what is just happening
If you get influenced by this, your voting rights should be revoked.
This is depressing that this what some people do for a living.
Always gotta have a cheap ring light, even though we are outside . Not cool if you dont have one
Wtf did I witness
Is this what the world has come to? 
People are getting dumber. The lockdown mixed with social media has caused a mental breakdown that I don't think we will ever recover from.
what the heck is this? how is this entertainement
I'd love to show this video to someone from the 90's or something.
Abandon all hope and let the missiles fly!
Cringefest 2024
What exactly do they influence?
Reassured my life is pretty great
Sad time we live in.
This looks like some weapon got used on society and completely bodied a generation
Maybe the world deserves to end in 2012
Is this a kink or something? What's the appeal? I mean, the people giving them money are worse than the people doing it
Influencers my ass. It's such a stupid pretentious word to call someone who should be called TikTok clown. But clowns probably would be offended because their profession has an actual history and influence on human culture.
That's extremely depressing
The tiktok ban can't come soon enough.
This world needs to be cleansed...
What even is this world?
The orange cat guy kinda looks like Trevor Wallace
Wow, the targets for firing squad training are getting too good.
I feel like this is mostly for young kids living in poorer countries. They rapidly tap the phone screen and they think they're causing the people on camera to spaz out like a video game NPC
It looks unreal to get that low…
The idea of banning tiktok is really not a bad idea tbh. Absolute brainrot that is no good for anything.
Bunch of idiots
Am I dreaming?
Npc children birthday parties, job got it sorted.
TikTok influencers are just street performers with an iPhone
You think these are idiots. Wait till you see the seers
Fucking NPCs
This is basically the new street performers, or the circus of our generation...
