TikTok Live Unlocked... with 76 followers.

So I don't post any content on tiktok, but many of my comments get a lot of engagement. The last few weeks I've noticed TikTok has been pushing me to new creators, and large creators posts that are brand new. They are spamming me with requests to join live feeds and I do from time to time. Do they offer live now based on engagement and not just followers? Seems to be the case. Should also note my account is marked as private.

Has anyone else experienced this?
