So it's pretty much in the title.

A little background, I'm a small creator that enjoys making hot takes, opinion videos, My comedy and reactions. My lives are kinda lack luster performance, but the last couple had a 10-15 people for extended time frame. Then I got messages about getting help, it's free, and that it's simple to sign up in the ticktock app. It seemed on the up and up, until I followed the prompts and got to the 'agreement' in ticktock, and said 4 years. This seemed like a long contract time and fishy. So I exited the communication.

But it had me wondering, is this real? Are there agencies like this? And how would you vet them if so? Any advise for a newer creator who doesn't have much online presence other than tictock
