As Jenny wandered down the street, her attention was caught by a large crowd gathered ahead.
The entire street was buzzing with influencers who were live-streaming. Every few steps, there was another streamer, creating a densely packed scene.
The whole area felt almost blocked by the trend.
Curious, Jenny made her way closer to get a better look.
She'd seen these streamers before, but only on her phone. This was the first time she was witnessing it live, and she watched with growing interest as she blended into the crowd of onlookers.
The crowd around her was diverse. There were elderly men, stay-at-home moms, and students around her age.
Among them, an elderly man with cloudy eyes stood staring intently ahead at several women who were dressed provocatively and showcasing their figures for the cameras.
Their suggestive dances and flirty expressions made it clear that they were the stars of this scene. They thanked the "big spenders" who sent them virtual gifts, their demeanor sweet and charming while they exuded a cutesy appeal with every word and action.
"Oh my! What's going on with these young people? They're really pushing the limits, aren't they? It's crazy! When I was young, you had to pay to see something like this," the elderly man commented, shocked by what he was seeing.
His amazement wasn't due to naivety. He just couldn't understand the women's behavior.
Meanwhile, a group of stay-at-home moms had gathered together, discussing the situation seriously.
"Is this… really okay? How could they show themselves off like that and dance so seductively?"
"Oh, this is the trend now. It makes money fast! You wouldn't believe it, but some of them make tens of thousands of dollars a day!"
"Exactly! And that's just the average. For the big streamers, it's even more. That's why they're so dedicated to live-streaming. It's all about the money!"
"We shouldn't criticize them. Instead, we should be inspired. After all, they're earning money with their skills!"
