This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRaaVhoJjCE&t=105 suggests that some of the livestreams may be prerecorded and running on infinite loop

This is definitely the case as many TikTok accounts are fake. They’ll take something like a prerecorded live event from Mr. Beast, create a fake TikTok account with a name that looks like Mr. Beast, and then stream the previously recorded live. Without fail there are always THOUSANDS of people watching these thinking it’s the real thing and donating money.

happens a lot even on twitch and youtube too. With this tool that shows small channels, there are a lot of channels with the same thumbnail and the channels would have gibberish channel names https://twitch-tools.rootonline.de/channel_previews.php?game...
