basically yes, but we can interact with the watcher. i was a tiktok live host selling clothes and electronic and we show, try on, explained the product that the viewers want us to show by request they sent on the comment

Wait, this has been on TV for decades lol

It's quickfire QVC, but it works for me. I've brought a lot of stuff after seeing it on Tiktok, although not in this livestream format where the influencer talks like an auctioneer. Most of stuff I brought are homeware, after seeing how they work in shorts.

Ehhh, this is just QVC for Gen Z 🤷

People need to spend less time on this social media garbage and more time reading books.

True, I remember an article once that compared this with what the British did to the Chinese with opium. Western societies are addicted to these cheap Chinese products and apps, while the Chinese kids are protected with a lot of restrictions and a more educational version of tiktok.

@@houseplant1016All the entertainment apps in China have restrictions for children who were under 16 or 18(minority). The restrictions depend on a country’s policy. UK and US do not have such kinds of policies for teenagers, that’s why Tiktok did not run the same way in UK or US as it did in China. I am not arguing anything but telling the facts.

Yep, it’s official. I hate everything.

Raquinho is getting his own trading card now. There's always other stuff to love...and plenty to hate

until we drown in our own garbage. happy birthday human.

I feel so disgusted...

nothing about this is good

Thanks, I hate it.

I see everyone, everywhere scrolling and scrolling on there... it's like an addiction. I still don't know what that social media site is all about. Makes no sense to me.

I'm so happy to see many others who are disgusted by this in the comments.

So... infomercial on a smartphone instead of a TV. Nothing new.

TikTok turns everything it touches to narcissistic idiocy.

Way late people lolol

QVC reboot

So "innovative"

Intresting, but crazyyyyy

We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota,but Student League an organization of the government ambushed us.Nearly two hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. At this time we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the government.They have no news on this issue.They have not promoting about on this issue.Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us. #Savebangladeshistudent #QuotaReformProtest #nomorequotha #protectstudents #bangladeshquothamovement #saveBangladeshstudents

We live in a sad world... consumerism and capitalism have ruined us?

Of course, this is what we need… Even more consumption, especially cheap and bad quality knickknacks made by modern slaves. Incredibly sad.

QVC on steroids. No thanks!
