How to find idle tycoon games TikTok creators
I scroll Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube under a fresh account if I’m looking for idle tycoon games creators. I try to put myself in the shoes of the person who would actually play the first session: US English, 16-28, already bounced off an idle that paywalled the loop and a tycoon that was ads every 20 seconds, watches ‘this idle is just ads’ and late-night-one-more-tap videos in bed. Then I linger, save, like, and comment as if I were them. Once the algorithm is trained I take whoever keeps showing up.
I do not open #idlegame and call the spreadsheet research.
They watch ads-every-20-seconds, paywalled-loop, late-night-one-more-tap, ‘I lost the factory to a crash’. They already tried an idle that paywalled the loop, a tycoon that was ads, and a web idle they outgrew. Adjacent is bed taps, ad-rage, not PC-strategy lectures. Skip the 1M mobile-gaming recapper whose last 20 videos are paid launches.
Ideally over 50k average. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.
What keeps showing up in this feed
The same bed-tap face two nights. The example I want in my head: someone tapping a factory and getting a 30-second ad before the next building.
Ad-rage already has the audience; a live first-session loop they can play in bed is the demo. No fake CPI.
Doing this by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a PC-strategy video and you will leave the bed-tap people. That is why I automated the scrolling. Scout is $1,500/month for the list.
The long method essay is How we find creators by scrolling a real TikTok avatar. I wrote the first-person version at How I find influencers.
Reject list, written down
Write the reject before you scroll: the 1M mobile-gaming recapper whose last 20 videos are paid launches. Also skip anyone whose last dozen posts are collab ads and who has never talked about ads-every-20-seconds, paywalled-loop, late-night-one-more-tap, ‘I lost the factory to a crash’.
If they only exist under #idlegame, they wanted brands to find them. That is not who is being served to the person who would actually play the first session tonight.
50k floor
I want roughly 50k average views because the economics will not work otherwise. Launch recappers quote UA-agency rates. $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from. One no is not the campaign.
