Cooked Crack Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Quote NPC Streaming is a type of TikTok LIVE stream in which the streamer acts or is perceived as acting like a video game NPC by mimicking idle animations, only saying something or performing a specific action when gifted, the action or phrase changing depending on the gift. The streams began to increase in virality throughout 2022 and were popularized by TikTokers like Natuecoco, notably going viral across Twitter and other platforms in July 2023 when TikToker Pinkydoll's videos gained widespread attention. One of the earliest known TikTok Live streamers to do NPC streams is @natuecoco, a Japanese TikToker. During her livestreams, she often acts like a video game NPC by lightly bouncing or performing what looks like an "idle animation," only reacting when she's given a gift. On February 4th, 2022, TikToker[1] Satoyu0704, also known as the Ohio Final Boss, posted a video that showed a screen recording of a collab Live between him and Natuecoco in which they pretended to be NPCs and battled for prizes (shown below, left). She continued to do lives like this throughout the year and TikTokers began referring to her as an NPC. For example, on November 22nd, 2022, TikToker[2] @bobbysie posted a clip calling her an NPC that gained over 2.5 million views in eight months https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-streaming 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) People ask me why I don't do cartoons anymor. I did some in 2019, first ones in years, and they did OK, got a bunch of hits. But not even a hundredth of the hits a big fat guy got for chugging a 2 liter of Mountain Dew after cramming an entire Big Mac into his mouth. That's discouraging. ~Bang Edited July 20, 2023 by Bang 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Kids like dumb things, but you can't pin this solely on kids. I've been to Walmart, and I've seen how long it takes for adults to stand in front of the milk fridges, staring into depths beyond our perceived worlds and contemplating the moral, ecological, and nutritional values of milk jugs that expire 1 day later than the ones in their hands. Kids pay to watch it with money, I pay with the knowledge that a more than insignificant amount of my lifetime was spent waiting for my chance to spend 5 seconds picking out the newest milk jug.

Fergasun Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not bothered by this. I am glad to see creative and talented people grind and be successful on a platform like YouTube and get a large share of whatever income it brings. The ones linked here pale to the ones on YouTube I saw with over 10M views on some videos. No one begrudges Vince McMahon much for his success... but you can't generate silly or funny content.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his "big hits" was simply him counting up to 100,000. It got like 10M views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
