- bilekas 3y agoIsn't the parent company of TikTok Chinese ? If so, wouldn't it make the business model the natural progression ?

- PurpleRamen 3y agoYes, TikTok was created by the Chinese company Bytedance, by merging their own app with another Chinese app which was popular in the USA. But I'm not sure whether it could be called natural progression just because of its origin. It's a natural direction of progress for all social media-services. I mean home shopping-TV and sellout-parties with your friends and neighbors are quite common in USA too. And this is just a version of this for the digital space, in which Chinese apps have more experience and success at the moment.
