If you're on Tik Tok for more than five minutes you will notice the videos of people selling stupid shit like fake Stanley cups with your kid's r-slurred name on it, or "totally real" Chanel purses that only cost 30 dollars for some unexplained reason. Well that has apparently been put to an end as Tik Tok's lawyers must have realized they need to actually enforce copyright infringement on their app if they want to survive in the US. As a result thousands of Tik Tok shops have been closed without any warning whatsoever, and they are also keeping all of the money they have in their accounts with the app.
While this is hilarious, it's made all the more hilarious because most of these shops are ran by white midwestern suburban MLM girlies, and almost all of the shit they sell is just shit they bought on Temu or DHGate and covered in tacky glitter.
Please join me and enjoy some girlboss tears.
This is 'WithLoveAshleyMarie' and she's a legitimate business owner who sells Disney and Hello kitty Stanley cups. She has some balls on her for fricking around with Disney. Who buys this shit?
What do you mean I can't sell Victoria Secret knock offs??
Anyway, here's the general search for it. The app is basically a mess of people laughing at the people getting shutdown, and the people that got shutdown saying their white trash kids are going to starve to death. Oh and here's the tik tok gossip thread about it on Reddit

My nana buys knock off disney stuff from single moms on fb marketplace to "help them out"
This reminds me that my nana also keeps meeting prowling MLM gigahustlers and telling them that her grandchild is desperate for a better job
(IM NOT

then calls and tells me that some lady wants to talk to me and I've been totally talent spotted for some big tech ecommerce position based on her reccomendation in the olive garden parking lot
and it was SUCH a wacky coincidence the way they met, it must be "a God thing" and my lucky break

You laugh, but when your nana hands Bezos your resume over a stack of endless breadsticks, you'll be thankful then.
