A big paycheck.
Most readers on HN would happily pledge loyalty to the CCP if it meant $1M+ TC.
In fact, many American and European businesses do exactly this.
- woooooo 2y agoDoing business is not necessarily pledging loyalty. You think I pledged loyalty to various employers, even? I mean I told them I did, but I was lying.

Presumably the puppets wouldn't have access to the tiktok platform (its code including AI algorithms, data, employees, etc), they'd just be a middle-man that would take the finished product (e.g. the APK) and publish it to distribution platforms (Google and Apple's app stores)?
