Knox Hill, a rapper and song reactor on YouTube, mentioned : "Even AGT reached out to me wanting to use a clip of my last reaction for promotion material for Nene".

Anyone familiar with AGT's approach to promote a singing contestant ? Is this AGT's normal practice ? Please advise. Thanks.
Banners urging votes for Nene have arrived at the Thai Temple in LA.
Thai people in LA, and across America, are mobilizing after learning the date of Nene Royal's Live Show, which will take place on Tuesday, August 25th. It's not just about reserving tickets for the free show; the Thai community is also promoting the event by putting up banners encouraging votes and explaining how to vote. Today, it was the turn of the Thai Temple in Los Angeles, North Hollywood.
Every Saturday and Sunday, this Thai temple holds a food market for the community, attracting many Thais and foreigners who come to enjoy Thai food and visit the temple. Therefore, putting up the banners is very useful. There are only two weeks left to help promote and support Nene. Thank you to everyone involved.
Thanks to Tommy Dokya and friends for putting up the promotional banners.
If you have a TikTok account, voting couldn't be easier, just make sure you're following the America's Got Talent account.
No need to post or tag; look for a TikTok from u/agt prompting you to "comment to vote," then type in the full name of the Act you're voting for. As with the other methods, you can vote up to 10 times (they must be separate comments), and they should all be on the official "Vote Here" post. Comments left on other TikToks won't be counted, and voting on this platform also closes at 7 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

Question: Can non-US voters place vote on tiktok ?
No, non-US voters cannot officially vote on TikTok. According to the official NBC AGT Voting Rules, voting is strictly limited to individuals located within the United States and Puerto Rico
Why Non-US TikTok Comments Do Not Count
Geographic Restrictions: Even though anyone globally can technically see the AGT TikTok Account and type a comment, NBC's background voting verification filters out data from accounts located outside the designated U.S. and Puerto Rico regions.
If you are a fan watching outside the US, you can still participate in the fandom by commenting, but your entries will not be registered as official votes toward the final tally
Why this year AGT want to let the whole world vote via comments, but NOT count them ?

About 3 to 4 weeks before, Thai business community in Hollywood, Los Angelis including chain of restuarants, grocery stores, etc. printed and shared posters to encourage their customers to help vote for Nene Royal in her AGT competition. This included designing and printing posters of various sizes, or instructions on how to install AGT/NBC app and when/how to vote for Nene, etc. The posters are distributed for free for any interested restaurants/shops, with some fees if custom-made to include their business logo/info.
