Zoomer here, how Tiktok lives are supposed to work and who watches them continues to elude me. Like I guess they're supposed to be attention grabbing because they show in your feed like normal videos so the stream should be equally interesting at any given moment for whoever might scroll by, but idk who actually clicks on them except accidentally. I think I've voluntarily clicked on a live once and that was some people going around covering the protests in France live. But for the most part yeah lives are the weirdest shit and I see people even on the app comment on that a fair amount. It's been some time but I know at least there seemed to be a Tiktok live trend of just like, being in a bed and "trying to sleep", but when people send some things (idk what they are or how they work), it might play a particular loud noise, violently shake the bed, or whatever. It's just really really weird all round.
