He’s got over a million followers, pretty good views and is getting brand partnerships. I think they will push from just being sent freebies to actually being paid for ADs and collabs. They are starting work with Paramount which I guess will probably pay the equivalent of his wage (if not more) until January. Then they have all the creator fund income on top - it’s why he does so many videos all day instead of one long one. If he can get 100k people watching 7 uploads in 1 days that’s 700k views rather than 100k watching 1 video. He knows what he’s doing.He’s 100% wanting to leave his job or has already left and just doesn’t want to admit it.
A lot of tik tokkers keep talking about this new creator fund which is apparently paying them VERY well now. Not that it didn’t anyway as a lot of people have quit jobs for tik tok, but yeah either way I think it’s a bad move. I couldn’t imagine throwing away my whole career I’ve worked hard for for tik tok especially at his age.
He’s riding the wave whilst he can. I understand a young person with little responsibility doing it but a grown man with a family to care for doing it seems crazy. He’s just going to become even more obsessed and annoying.
