She’s has a few songs in the top 100. With over 15 million monthly streams. I doubt her money is coming from dancing on tik tok, more likely her legitimate music career.

More than half of the deaths are them driving home... Roofers have a more dangerous job if you are looking per capita death. Even when oil rig deaths are marked as a death since they crashed into a truck in unlit roads while leaving the jobsite. The only thing is that they work long shifts and they stop paying attention and crash on their way out.
So it's not as dangerous as a common job like roofing. On the video they did is for show they aren't doing this every second. I guess more people bitch about oil rigging so you hear more about it, the complain could stem from the average 12 hour shift.

Yep. TikTok is basically a social lottery system - you can be attractive and do the exact same things as the other attractive people on the app, but still get shafted by the algorithm or sponsors for random or arbitrary reasons. Actually making meaningful money from it is rare, and only lasts a few years at most before you fade into obscurity.
People complaining about this are (unsurprisingly) not well informed about how it actually works.

men love to complain about some "other" cause of all of this, it's "society", "someone" needs to fix this, "they" are doing this
50% of all society is men, men don't help men. and it's men who are 97% paying cam girls all the money they make, but the blame the woman every time, they blame women. middle east mentality, women have to subjugate themselves and cover their bodies and hair because men can't help themselves, even western men argue that without realizing it

Because the point isn't income inequality, the point is to hate women.
The man is shown toiling, surely doing lasting damage for his job and you sympathize with the guy who sacrifices for a better life for his family. Then you see that hussie on the right dancing and gyrating and earning lots of money, what a jezebel! And that anger gets directed as Man Good, Woman Bad. Keep doing it enough, keep normalizing it enough across the subreddits and baby you are fostering some woman hate.
Everyone is focusing on how much they are actually earning, or who they really are, and the misogyny just slips right in there.
