"TikTok's Unexpected Influence on Tipping Culture"
TikTok users are spending around $11 million daily on tipping, a feature that allows them to financially support their favorite creators. This surge in tipping is contributing to TikTok's projected revenue milestone of $15 billion by 2024, potentially making it the highest-earning mobile app ever. Tipping, introduced in 2021, is available to creators over 17 with at least 100,000 followers in select countries. While tipping is a popular way to show appreciation, it's not considered mandatory.
