media of “tiktok npc” brings up a laundry list of concerned people talking about the trend. they never thought of this angle.

also, I may have posted in the wrong place, please correct me if I did.

I feel like this trend is mind control, video girls and twitch donations all rolled into one. I notice the body language is stiff, has frequent (orgasm like) forward jerks and twiches also precise and unable to deviate from a defined animation that resets on demand

it also reminds me of what Video girl AI is deconstructing. a being that is para-social to you but still gives off signals of affection. (twitch THOT and Japanese idol stuff)

finally, (and sources are harder to find) notice in this video a forced, self resetting customer service voice. (sadly, i had a hard time finding examples this and this aren’t great)

This just came to me and I have no idea what to do with this new information.

    Uuh. I think you’re overanalyzing this. But this is only a guess. Because I have no idea why anyone would watch this. Is this even a sexual/fetish thing? I watched a few YouTube comments on this, but that leaves me with even more questions. Do we have any idea about who watches this? The viewership demographics or what they’re getting out of it? If someone watched this or even made some donations … please enlighten me.

      I will never understand TikTok. Those example videos are so cringy I can’t believe anyone watches them let alone makes them.

        I think they make easy money with that. But I also don’t understand TikTok. But I’m too old to, anyways. I believe TikTok is for the teens.
