You might be Request Moviesable to get paid (kind of) for using TikTok, which, let's be honest, you might be doing habitually anyway.

Bloombergreported that TikTok has enacted a few different promotions that gift folks TikTok Shop credits to increase users and time spent on the app. The business outlet reported that TikTokkers can receive $50 in Shop credits for recruiting a first-time user and up to $350 in bonuses for bringing in more new users. TikTok is also reportedly offering credits for checking TikTok every day for a week and for "scrolling through 10 TikTok Shop items five times per week." Users can also get up to an $80 credit for making a TikTok Shop purchase.

The move comes at a precarious moment for TikTok. It could be a ploy to add users and engaged time on its app ahead of its potential ban. A Jan. 19 deadline looms for TikTok's parent company ByteDance to find a buyer or face a ban in the U.S.

Mashable's Christianna Silva has the full details on the latest updates but a legal fight remains ongoing in the final month or so before the potential ban. Signing up more American users and logging more TikTok Shop sales could be a way to garner public support against a potential ban.
