I think influencers are the true expression of capitalism. Promote something and make money. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

...also, I am suspicious of the real reason binoculars were invented. "No, honey, I'm looking at birds out here." "I'm looking at the moon."

Oh well, invention is often driven by a strong passion for "inventing"

I think it was reported 7 million people earn a living using TikTok. Short videos are literally what regular ads are on TV in length.
That is a misleading statistic. 7 million small businesses use tick tock as one of the tools to drive customers to their business but almost nobody depends solely on tiktok. Almost everybody uses multiple internet services to do that.

This dude seriously thinks that 7 million people "earn a living" on Tiktok"?!?!? lol
I guess watching all that TP clouded his brain. 🤣🤣

"Yes, YouTube was originally designed as a video dating site.
The site's co-founders, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed
Karim, launched it on Valentine's Day 2005 with the slogan
"Tune in, Hook up". However, users didn't participate, so
the founders eventually changed their strategy and opened
the site up to any video. '

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
