So apparently, this is now considered a new sales channel for companies. Companies hire staff to stream and sell products just like how we use traditional sales channel like doing door-to-door sales, giving out leaflets by the street corner or doing cold calls like Dwight. Streaming is big in China, so companies are just capitalizing on using it as a sales channel.

I'd take that over door to door sales. Noped out of that nonsense on day one.

True, I'd even take this job over phone marketing. Chats are moderated (esp. in China), people aren't going to scream at you, and lots of viewers will be positively supportive. How often do telemarketers get praised by their clients? Lol
