My cousin worked at a place where he would stream for 8 hours a day on tiktok and sell trading card packs and other collectables. I guess it was a bit like home shopping network. But his streams were kinda goofy and playful. I didn't really understand who the customers were. I guess some people found him entertaining and liked what he was selling.

So he's going to get a job now?
“Entertainment isn’t a real job” is a cool and normal opinion to have, and it’s usually held by people that are a blast to be around
It generally is. Many successful entertainers say they can’t believe they are paid to do what they do.
