I seem to recall that Explud is a big fan of Aurora's personality, so this is for Explud.

I was expecting Vought Tower rather than Trump Tower at the end of this video.

I came across this pretty interesting article in the Washington Post the other day and was immediately reminded of @Wolkenkrabber's post - because it was so disturbing to watch. Turns out, big surprise!, it's pretty lucrative at the moment.

SAN FRANCISCO — Koby Colls grabs a vase of dark, wilted roses and screams, "Roses, my love, roses!"
His fiancée, Gloria Briggs, swats them away with annoyance and the two turn back to the screen, bouncing rhythmically as they wait for the next cue from their TikTok followers.
The couple is tapping into a new social media trend: live-streaming on TikTok while saying strange phrases robotically, mimicking an NPC, or non-player character, in the video game world. Unlike other trends where content creators come up with their own ideas for each video, viewers in NPC live streams take on the role of puppeteers, influencing the creator's next move.

TikTok viewers send small emoji, filters or animations that the couple then reacts to or acts out. These donations are bought with TikTok coins — one TikTok coin amounting to about 1.5 cents. The couple receives enough requests per hour to total roughly $200 and use the money to fund their 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter's education and extracurriculars.

[...]

TikTok spokesperson Zachary Kizer said in a statement, "TikTok LIVE allows creators to celebrate the magic of real-time engagement with their audience, driving community building and connection while opening up new monetization opportunities."

What the world is coming to...

[Wolkenkrabber]

Mind blown.
I don't know who this guy is but everyone in the comments calls him Michael. So maybe he's famous?
