I assume it's shorthand for "pays for"

My understanding is most shorthand/euphemisms nowadays seem to originate from tiktok's strict and sometimes inscrutable censorship rules. Maybe this is one of them?

Edit: apparently this was a case of text-to-speech gone away. I prefer my head cannon of tiktok trying to censor conversations about anyone who "pays for" an elicit service.

I figured it was just bad text to speech, and OP just didn't go back to proofread.
