The Tiktokers of Sao Paulo decided to fight who is the best NPC in the free space of Masp and received money from passers-by
A somewhat surreal scene for those who do not follow internet trends occurred last Sunday (10th), in Avenida Paulista, in Sao Paulo. Some content creators got together to argue NPCsacronym in English for “non-playable characters”.
NPC-type lives (live Internet broadcasts) have become fashionable Tick tock in the last months. In videos, influencers behave like video game characters. They respond or perform actions only when they receive gifts, which have monetary value, donated by their followers during broadcasts.

However, according to tiktoker videos with the profile @karolaineeg, tiktokers from Sao Paulo have decided to fight who is the best NPC in an offline space. In line, they received money from passers-by, deposited in ballot boxes, in exchange for their repetitive gestures. From the scenery in the background, this would have happened in the free space of the Masp (São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand Art Museum).

The exact origin of the new trend is uncertain, but the Japanese TikToker who owns the profile @natuecoco is considered the first to gain popularity through NPC videos. His cosplay style, featuring outfits related to Japanese pop culture characters, has already gained more than a million followers on the platform.
Also riding the wave is the account Cherry Crush (@cherrycrush_tv), an American content creator known for her ASMR channel, a sort of relaxing video, on YouTube. On TikTok, her most popular videos have over a million views.
The Pinky Doll profile (@pinkydollreal) is one of the most popular. Her slogan “ice cream so good” is repeated ad nauseam by influencer Fedha Sinon in lives with thousands of viewers.
