The phrase denotes tools or services, often promoted at no cost, that are purported to artificially inflate the number of viewers on a TikTok live stream. These services aim to create the illusion of a larger audience than is organically present. For instance, a user might seek a method to rapidly increase the viewer count on their live stream to attract more genuine engagement.
The perceived benefit of these tools lies in the potential for increased visibility and perceived popularity. A higher viewer count can make a live stream appear more appealing to new viewers, potentially leading to organic growth. Historically, similar methods have been employed on various social media platforms to manipulate metrics and influence perception.
