Abstract

Live streaming is a fast-growing media where broadcasters perform in real-time, and viewers watch live content simultaneously. This study aims to examine TikTok creators’ strategies in turning audience affection into financial gains through the function of ‘virtual gifting’. Specifically, this study focuses on the extent to which creators affect viewers’ desire to express their social status, fortify their social group, conform with group norms, and fulfil their need for emotional bonds
