Does TikTok have any ads? I'm not sure how they can survive.

  It's funded by the party comrade. No, they have in-app purchases?

  Yes. From my experience, they gradually phased them in for me as I started using it. Now, more often than not, the first video is an ad.

  There's ads. Upon opening the app, I get one to apply to work at Chick-fil-A. After scrolling a number of videos, I got an for Givingli. No idea how much/little that pays the bandwidth bills, but the ads themselves are largely disguised as content - ads look just like any other content in the app. It does say sponsored while showing an ad, but it's subtle.

  Yes TikTok has ads AND the ad rates are pretty high (I worked in marketing tech for a while and saw the rate card and the huge amount companies spend there)
