TikTok seems to be still chasing the ads business model, there is a direct tip in crypto model waiting. They should take a look at Brave.

But, Who Tips Anyway?

Udi Wertheimer, a Bitcoin core programmer, statistically challenges the hopes and dreams of the payment model. He tweeted,

CZ says Tiktok is going after ad revenue and that it should use crypto tipping instead like brave. Nitpick time:

1. Average age on tiktok is like, 7 months? Users don’t have money to tip

2. Brave has roughly 37 active tipping users so actually maybe brave should look into tiktok

 

 

He argues that most users are using the platform for free. In an ideal world, the tipping model could work just fine.

However, the users might be motivated to keep their earnings to themselves. Moreover, it will face stiff competition from site owners and Google which lead the ads space which basically provides free content to it’s users.
