I think the biggest effect of this is going to be that a lot of creators are about to lose a lot of money that they were generating from sponsorships: whether above or below the table.
But most will slowly migrate to other platforms due to uncertainty (users and advertisers), though it remains to be seen exactly to where.
Maybe Snap? YT Shorts is bad, as are most other “shorts as a feature” platforms where discovery UX is terrible.
Just speculation for the time being as we need to see what ByteDance decides to do. Can’t recall the exact article but I think they do plan to fight this decision.
- yreg 2y agoWhy not to instagram?
- skilled 2y agoHaven’t looked into it. What is the discoverability and does it come close to TikTok’s algorithm?
- FalconSensei 2y agoI don't know if it's the lack of content or what, but doing the same searches on Instagram usually return garbage. And their algo refuses to understand that I want to see music/books/movies reels instead of girls dancing almost naked.
- jvanderbot 2y agoWhy do people believe that TikTok will stop functioning? That is not the intent, and is not the likely outcome. TikTok will just not be owned by a Chinese company.
- skilled 2y agoThat’s not how people think in a time of crisis and ByteDance will need to be swift in their response/decision if they want to retain users.
- nickthegreek 2y agoThe same tiktok? I highly doubt any sale will come with the algo, which is literally the bread and butter on what makes Tiktok so great and better than the competition. For users who only surf the FYP, the quality is set to seriously decline.
