Payment evidence: current spend or explicit intent

ProblemBuyers in German-speaking markets want to purchase TikTok accounts that already have an audience. As documented, they find it hard to verify account ownership, confirm whether followers are real, check the account's violation history, or carry out a safe handover.

Scoring summary

Evidence confidence = strength × evidence volume × source diversity × payment × competition × trend × 10. Counts use independent content items; only first-hand pain, current spend, explicit willingness to pay and concrete feature requests affect the score. Repeated posts by one author are discounted. Scoring and status changes follow deterministic rules.

“Payment-backed” means first-hand payment evidence exists in the record. It does not mean the business is worth building. “Fading” is a recency tag shown alongside any evidence level, not a lower level. Read the full methodology.
