PinkyDoll, whose real name is Fedha Sinon, lives in Montreal and has turned this activity into her job. She mimics video game characters as viewers send her digital gifts such as roses, dinosaurs and ice cream cones. Each item converts into money transferred to her via TikTok.

“I was just being cute,” she told The New York Times about how she started off on the social media platform. “I remember someone saying, ‘Oh my God, you look like an NPC. And then they start sending me, like, crazy money.”

Sinon says she makes between $2,000 and $3,000 per stream. She adds that her earnings can go up to $7,000 per day by combining her revenue across all platforms, which include Instagram and OnlyFans.

The content creator previously worked as a stripper and owned a cleaning business. She started livestreaming on TikTok earlier this year as a way to make money. She was first inspired by NPCs in the video game “Grand Theft Auto.”

“I was like, ‘I’m going to try to do it like them,’” she said, although she still is “not really sure” what an NPC is.

Sinon says she has fun coming up with different reactions for each gift.

“I could sit here all day, but I can’t because I have a son and I got to eat,” she added.
