Pascal from the show “Hartz and warmly” now wants to earn money with social media.
He doesn't rate his earnings badly.
Mannheim – Nowadays anyone can become famous overnight.
All you have to do is publish a video on social media, which with a bit of luck will get a good click and become the next internet hit.
Several users have already gone viral on TikTok, including Liam Carpenter, who humorously presents German stereotypes in his videos.
Citizen's benefit recipient Pascal from the RTL Zwei show “Hartz und cordial” wants to do the same and become a TikTok star.
Job is exploitation: Citizen's benefit recipient starts on TikTok
The plan is apparently working, because since the new episode was broadcast, the number of his followers has increased from 120,000 to over 150,000 (as of February 23rd).
But that's not enough for Pascal: He wants to improve from “live stream to live stream, video to video” and thus earn more money.
The citizen's benefit recipient is currently expecting around 1,000 to 1,200 euros per month "minus deductions, with taxes, with everything else".
That's significantly more than he would have earned in his job as a newspaper delivery person.
Pascal is now convinced that the job was just exploitation.
He quit after just one day of work because he had not been told that he would have to deliver magazines as well as newspapers.
In addition, he was assigned to other districts in the contract.
His mother Petra and sister Selina support him on his journey.
But that's not all: they actively help, for example by occasionally appearing as guests in his videos and live streams on TikTok.
Petra also takes care of the chat when her two children are live.
Because although the citizen's benefit recipient receives a lot of support from the "Hartz and warm" viewers and has now become a public favorite, there are many hate comments.
These will then be removed personally by mom.
Nevertheless, Pascal seems to be doing everything right, as each video receives either five or six-figure views and several hundred likes.
Citizen's benefit recipient and TikToker lives with his family in Benz barracks
In order to achieve more reach on TikTok, the citizen's money recipient wants to do more in the future.
Pascal already has concrete plans: the apartment of the family of three should be redesigned to suit the platform.
This means light walls instead of dark ones and more pictures.
To do this, he plans to use LED lighting, play pop music in the background and record more TikTok-style dances - be it with his sister or his new girlfriend Lea.

Germans eat less and less in restaurants
Pascal currently lives with his mother and sister in the Benz barracks in the Mannheim-Waldorf district.
These have been a social hotspot in the city in Baden-Württemberg for decades.
The barracks were once intended for homeless people and welfare recipients.
Accordingly, the residents of the social estate still live on a subsistence level today and have to struggle with financial difficulties, which are often due to unemployment.

It doesn't seem unlikely that Pascal will become a TikTok star - especially since you can go viral on TikTok with the most banal things.
For example, a tourist publishes her fresh tattoo that she got with friends in Morocco.
You can see Arabic characters that, when translated, spit out the word “mayonnaise”.
The video was viewed over two million times and received around 130,000 likes.
