I had a similar experience experimenting with Tiktoks seller tools. I decided to list a vintage camera I had lying around and to my surprise, within a couple of minutes of going live I had hundreds of people engaging. People were asking questions, sharing insights, and some even expressed interest in buying the camera.
I think unfortunately this is causing some rebellion on tiktok. Seems they have pushed users TOO hard to that shops feature, and it’s causing anti-consumer trends
