Product placement
Hily (dating app) - ACTS: It is mentioned as a place where there is no friend zone, implying it is used for dating and finding romantic partners. Removing it would change the punchline of the joke. HilyApp (Hily's TikTok account) - APPEARS: This is the creator's TikTok account handle, which is a form of attribution and does not change what happens in the video.
