TikTok Live Streams: Weirdest Trends — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:07] so now that you're as deep in this as I am why are Tick Tock live streams so weird as I was browsing Tick Tock while working on my viral sound video I started getting recommended Tick Tock lives on my for you page Tick Tock live

[00:19] is like looking deep into the void and having it maniacally scream back at you it's like walking through Times Square in New York but it's an alternate reality and everyone is suffering from acute psychosis including yourself and

[00:32] money making opportunity for pretty much anyone that owns a smartphone it's become the perfect incubator to hatch some of the worst attempts at side discovery I made was a group of people that had figured out a way to commodify

[00:46] sleeping you know that weird thing that everyone does where we pass out for 50 that means that Tick Tock has managed to take control of their greatest rival going to bed ironically these sleeping streams are not about actually getting

[01:01] streams are not about actually getting sleep but rather keeping someone awake [Music] they have an entire menu of donation that will blast through speakers in their room so obviously the viewer's job

[01:16] is to donate money to be annoying but there's a level of performance that is required in order for this Tick Tock live strategy to work they will pretend to get angry with people sending donations to them as if this entire

[01:28] scenario was not constructed of their own free will what boxes would you have to check for this to be a real situation for someone is this even sustainable for someone the more money you make the worse it gets I like to think that they

[01:41] day job when they're done with work do they go to bed they're already there you'd have to end your day by popping like seven Advils one of my favorite they'll start beckoning people to stop donating and just let the guy sleep like

[01:55] they're the stereotypical thugs behind a bar beating the [ __ ] out of some like all right bars is that enough let's get out of here and then it's just a live stream of the guy actually looking like he's sleeping and it's not like he

[02:08] to be sleeping you also might notice that the donation tiers seem less like a price menu and more like a hieroglyphic Rosetta Stone and that's because of tick tock's really strange donation system which in their bits get him out of here

[02:21] which in their bits get him out of here YouTube just having it be cash [ __ ] you weirdo the kid that brought in the tuna sandwich to Elementary School lunch news flash is sticking up the place man I didn't fully even understand what they

[02:34] it's important that you understand this too users can use money to purchase coin and from there they can purchase a variety of wonderful and wacky emojis that they call gifts this system adds to the absolute Insanity of watching a tick

[02:48] tock live stream because some of the gifts have animations that come with them like a sailboat coming onto the screen or a giant Corgi that shakes its streaming department is run by Coco melon that's not a good thing and the

[03:04] value of these gifts can range from very small such as the rose or ice cream cone expensive ones such as the tick tock Universe gift which is 370 it reminds me of slot machines at casinos with their colorful bright

[03:20] forget that you just gambled away your child's entire college fund [Music] play kitten but surely that can't be intentional by Design now these sleeping streams are the first of a category of

[03:33] tick tock lots that are weekly attempting to use reverse psychology on tempting as possible for the viewer to want the exact opposite of what the streamer supposedly is trying to do and the only way to sabotage the streamer is

[03:47] by sending money to the streamer do you get where this is going so in many ways it is a net positive for the streamer because I don't think that they care about counting to one quintillion oh my God I feel like you would have to be

[04:01] older than the universe itself to be able to be counting to that number when happens to be on that last couple hundred digits he's almost there but if you send a core game you can entirely reset his clicks which doesn't seem

[04:14] that long but other viewers who want him to complete his task well they could just send a freaking heart thing and then he's just back at the number he was comes from these streamers because you can tell that there are constantly

[04:27] goading the viewers into being against each other oh my god oh [Music] Manny McCain and when he manages to get to that final number and you think he's about to

[04:42] complete his task he starts counting down ten nine what are you doing you're down ten nine what are you doing you're so close you're almost there six five oh no I always gotta start from one but of all of these donation baiting streams my

[04:58] all of these donation baiting streams my favorite has to be Galaxy kids let's do so he's building a house of cards and the entire time he's like

[05:12] goading the viewers into sending a Galaxy gift which is worth about ten Galaxy gift which is worth about ten dollars over 10 bucks but this live stream does really well the first time I found him

[05:26] there was almost 6 000 people watching him do this [ __ ] he's doing everything person that stumbles upon this live stream will hate him in the deepest parts of their soul he's perfect did his tone of voice so it vibrates at a

[05:41] frequency that activates the rage part of our brain he is a scientist the chat is constantly saying send a Galaxy as he's acting as if he's going to be publicly executed if he doesn't finish this card tower he's even got a face

[05:54] filter on that makes it appear as if he was like wearing mascara and he's crying it all off however I made a shocking discover I recorded this Tick Tock live in September but then he was recommended to me in October doing the same thing

[06:07] and what I noticed is that it's not actually a live stream it's a [ __ ] video here is both of the screen recordings played next to each other recordings played next to each other nice try Galaxy kid Galaxy kid has been

[06:21] playing 4D chess this entire time Galaxy kid whenever this dude is looking for some extra cash he'll just boot up his pre-recorded stream of him losing his mind over a house of cards and then probably just go play Call of Duty or

[06:34] something as the galaxies roll into his bank account the side hustle of side hust there's also a large amount of what I would call donate to play streams one of these is like Street Fighter where you've got Donald Trump fighting Barack

[06:46] controlled by how much you donate or what appears to be a race between Trump Biden Vladimir Putin and Vladimir zielinski there's even a tick tock live that tries to answer the age-old question from elementary school who's

[07:00] better boys or girls and let's not forget boys of blue and girls of pink the way it's always been and if you disagree time to uh let's get a mop on aisle three for these liberal tears [Music]

[07:15] these all operate as kind of like a money generator that preys upon the divisive nature of Politics on the Internet or just anyone arguing on the internet as if someone watching is likely if I can make Trump punch the

[07:27] [ __ ] out of Biden then they'll make him president now before we keep looking at actually have some breaking news today this video is sponsored by our friends at Rhino Shield hi I'm Doug pistol with Ted News Bill thanks Doug the rumors are

[07:42] true and everybody's been talking about it Rhino Shield cannot stop making these incredibly protective and customizable phone cases and accessories they're so obsessed with doing this it's getting kind of creepy people are saying that

[07:55] customization options with different case Styles colors and thousands of print designs it's honestly making me sick to my stomach thinking about this level of customization Greg thanks Bill now I'm getting word that Rhino Shield

[08:10] level of protection with their phone cases especially when paired with their screen protector and with their new phone grip the number of people dropping phones on their faces has begun to plummet Doug thanks Greg now I'm being

[08:23] told by our producers that Rhino Shield has a lifetime warranty with free Replacements and Rhino Shield currently right now is having a biggest sale of the Year Black Friday sale with up to 60 off that's that I'm also being told that

[08:37] if you use code 10 you can get an extra 10 off in addition to those Black Friday sales when you say the link is in the description now let's get back to our scheduled broadcast Tick Tock also has their fair share of profits and psychics

[08:50] Clairvoyance prognosticators sounds like someone you'd stick up your ass the first psychic I ran into was this woman who's using two metal rods to answer don't know if she's supposed to be speaking to ghosts or something all

[09:04] someone has to do is send their name and their question and she will have an answer for you immediately will Tamaya ever be successful let her know you have to put some time and effort into it is a yes for that my love nothing is

[09:17] slamming through prediction she's got the ghosts in some sort of extortion situation because they are working hard for this Tick Tock lives people are also asking some crazy questions too will Tracy get the pardon will my son's

[09:32] father come back home today will my tax return be here this month is a manual cheating on me you're gonna go to a psychic on Tick Tock to ask that please psychics that don't even show up on camera she's got like a glorified magic

[09:45] question and this is how that device works know if the people viewing this stream have heard of magnets but when they do

[10:01] though they had a little bit of pizzazz into the mix soft yes soft yes soft yes where are we getting that from that is yes in caps seems pretty cut and dry to me another stream seems like they're trying not to

[10:13] get sued by clarifying no pregnancy or health questions that's a good move the baby was going to be born with health problems or not and I got the answer you decide I would be a bit confused but you know someone is

[10:26] probably going to ask a question like is it my fault that dad left and it's gonna them up for the rest of their lives the best Tick Tock live psychic though is this woman claiming that she will bring her viewers messages from Heaven pod

[10:41] really good sentiment I'm really happy that she's doing that you've got 30 of Tick Tock psychics who are just slamming through predictions this woman is only willing to do readings for people that are her top gifter and she makes that

[10:55] Spirits coming through so you need to show Respect by getting up on my gift or thank you for the flower once you're at a thousand coins you get on my list I a top gifter to win a two hour mediumship and private with me which is

[11:10] 250 dollars so try to win it she's all business so I sat in for one of these pretty much exactly what I expected okay communication I'm seeing a man this is grandfather is showing me he's there watching he wants you to take better

[11:24] care of yourself okay you're going through a lot of turmoil in a relationship you're in right now is a very toxic you're in a toxic relationship this is something that Grandpa is saying someone's Grandpa does

[11:36] don't they probably don't even know what it is those [ __ ] were getting married at 18 and staying married for 62 years until they die but all of a sudden this grandfather's talking like a buzzfeed article written by a millennial in

[11:50] Brooklyn yep my fought in the War I was at evil dream little guy's stomach open with a Bayonet America had such a toxic relationship with the Japanese empire back then now when I feel about how your grandfather passed away I am feeling

[12:04] something in the throat down to the chest the chest I feel that this passing was probably from the heart Oh you mean like heart disease the leading cause of non-believer please leave thank you for all the tips guys I appreciate it ignore

[12:17] the haters please it's just jealousy of what the people's family members are dead or that you're making money off of their grief there's a strange level of dystopia from someone saying that they can speak to their dead relatives on the

[12:29] internet while simultaneously thanking the viewers for putting a baseball cap on their head thank you for the baseball hats thank you so much okay so we are these Tick Tock live categories though my favorite has to be what I can only

[12:44] my favorite has to be what I can only describe as the big phone genre thank you my lovelies have a wonderful day Man anime editor because that's exactly what it is there's a woman with a massive Android phone and she's got a pointer

[12:56] and this is all she does my top one let me see you now who is going to be the speaking as if they're running an auction what are they selling she's star like she's going to make them famous either want to be famous are you

[13:10] ready to be a star how does she make people Stars well so visit your profile and just like a bunch of your tick tocks initially I thought this woman was the only person doing this and that she was unique in this type of live stream until

[13:22] I kept running into more and more Tick-Tock lives of women in office cubicles with giant Android phones what is going on in these tick-tocks with the microphone and the [ __ ] pointer stick who's going to these live streams on a

[13:37] regular basis is anyone doing that oh I gotta catch up and see what they're doing on the big phone where are they even getting these giant Android phones from I want one I'm not even the one operating the giant phone and watching

[13:49] this I'm stressed out for this is there something going on here do you have a surgically implanted bomb in your neck why are you doing this we know that Tick designed to keep users in its app for as long as humanly possible but it seems

[14:03] that users have discovered that within their live streams they too can create a system in which they can rope users into watching the most bottom of the barrel content whether that's taking advantage of their anxiety and questions about

[14:15] life life handling their grief or figuring out once and for all that boys are better than girls because girls pee blood and boys well they pee garlic aioli and if you like this video Galaxy guys please send

[14:29] me a Galaxy my rent is due tomorrow and my landlord owns a gun
