Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson Accused Of Being Fueled By Greed

Honey Boo Boo did a bit of a Q&A session with her followers on her Instagram Stories. During the interaction, she asked if her followers would enjoy seeing her and her boyfriend live stream on TikTok while cooking together. Some of her followers admit they were a bit baffled by her interest in hanging out on TikTok versus just going live on Instagram. Honey Boo Boo was happy to explain her reasoning. It, however, appears her reasoning for choosing TikTok over Instagram is a greedy one.

Honey Boo Boo asks followers a question

The young WEtv star took to her Instagram Stories to ask her followers if they would like to see her and her boyfriend go live on TikTok while cooking. She immediately followed up with a second post noting that she and her boyfriend were willing to do just about anything on a TikTok live stream. She encouraged her followers to respond to her previous story with what they were interested in seeing on a live stream.

One follower did respond to the question. They, however, did not have a request for Honey Boo Boo. Instead, they had a question. They wanted to know why she wanted to go live on TikTok with her boyfriend instead of going live on Instagram. Honey Boo Boo reposted the question on her Instagram Stories and answered it.

Why TikTok instead of Instagram?

Honey Boo Boo tells her follower that she wants to go live on TikTok because she considers it to be a lot more fun than Instagram. She, however, has another reason for choosing TikTok over Instagram. And, her reason was offputting to some of her followers as it was a bit greedy. She added that fans have the ability to give really cool gifts on TikTok.

When someone goes live on TikTok, those watching the live stream can buy and send gifts to the host. At the end of the live stream, TikTok takes a percentage of the gifts and the host gets the rest. So, going live on TikTok presents an opportunity for Honey Boo Boo to make some money off of her fans and followers.
