“Ice cream so good!”
On Sunday evening, TikTok sensation Pindy Doll was invited to the set of Tout le monde en talk to talk about her huge popularity on the Chinese social network, which disturbed several viewers.

The Quebecois makes her living on TikTok, especially with her live performances in which her fans send her money to make her repeat certain phrases.
Pinky always appears as a character inspired by the world of video games, more specifically as a supporting character or NPC (Non-Player Character).
For example, internet users can send her a (fictional) ice cream cone for a few dollars and in return she will repeat, “Ice cream so good, yes, yes, yes” while moving like an NPC.

In less than a year, the woman, whose full name is Fedha Fernande Nkoy Autre, has amassed more than a million subscribers and hundreds of thousands of dollars. “I do about three two-hour live streams on TikTok per day and collect about $7,000 per live,” she explained to Guy A Lepage. She ensures that she pays her taxes, in addition to the high 70% share that the social network demands.
But who is the audience and why do people pay for it? “I make them feel like they’re not alone. I entertain her. After all, we are used to seeing more and more robots and artificial intelligence everywhere. So I think I’m making a revolution.”
On Twitter, several viewers seemed overwhelmed by the woman’s livelihood and reacted strongly to the TikTok star’s presence.
Here are some comments posted Sunday evening:

Seriously, I listened to 6 minutes of it #pinkydoll and for me that is more than enough.
Hundreds of thousands of people pay to listen to this for 6 hours a day…
That says a lot about a part of our society…
I understand very well that this lady is taking advantage of this#tlmep— Caillou Fred (@CaillouFred) October 9, 2023
No, but the girl from Tiktok is the sidereal void, but you know it’s stupid #tlmep

Sometimes Tiktok nonsense should stay on Tiktok #tlmep

I’m not judging, but I don’t think I’m the target audience. I like ice cream, but not on TikTok 🤪😂 #tlmep

Uh, boy… There was a social phenomenon to understand, and I congratulate the team at #TLMEP pure audacity, but the guest didn’t give much of an answer 😅 #Empty

What a petty worldview these Pinkydolls are. What’s the point… When we talk about the decline of the active society, the unproductive changes that will change this world that had to be built on reality, we look at it and it’s scary… #tlmep

It’s been so good so far, why?#TLMEP

What an awkward interview with the NPC girl who acts like a seductress (I was thinking of Anne Marie Lozique) and the comedian who doesn’t want to understand it…Good night everybody.
