The creator, who goes by Musa on Twitter, posted a video where they went into detail about their approach to making TikTok videos as a job, including how much money they made on some videos. The technique involves searching for popular YouTubers, screen recording their content, doing the same thing with GTA car footage, and then splicing them together with AI-generated captions for the TikTok format. The TikToker also said he made $1200 from one particularly successful video.

They said: \u201cInfluencers are PAYING people like me and many others to make clips of them.
