“Number one, for your TikTok to be recommended for many people, you need to beg people to like comment on your profile; you must beg a viewer to like comment so that your live can be recommended to as many people as possible.

Secondly, you ask for gifts. It is actually begging because, if you’re one relying on TikTok, you won’t eat if you don’t beg from people.” Smart Joker revealed.
