Don't forget about their income as TikTokers... which is still something I can't understand. Collecting money for posting inane, self-fellating horse shit to social media? That's a job? Ok whatever

Well, “family accounts” with young daughters/children are a magnet for creeps. I’d wager it’s something like 70/30, creeps to genuinely interested watchers. And the grossest part is a lot of families lean into this, whether intentionally or just responding to the analytics when they post a family “beach trip” or “kids having fun playing in the hose like the good old days!” Yeah. It’s fucking disgusting.
