What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?

They'll have no choice but to go into the mountains and become guerilla fighters.

There won't be a ban. TikTok will probably end up making a U.S. only version that will satisfy congress.

The data will be sold to a 3rd party broker who will then keep sending it to China, so nothing will change in the end.

I'm usually all for fediverse folks shitting on big corporate social media platforms, they definitely all deserve it. But unless I'm mistaken, and I very well might be, TT seems like it gets wayyyy more vitriol than the other big bads. Hopefully that's not for "old man yells at cloud" type reasons.

Anyway, definitely looking forward to Loops when it's ready!!

Oh no! Anyway...

The same as what happened when vine shut down.

Take their follows as best as they can to another platform. Continue on.

Other platforms exist. I'm sure they'll be fine.

YouTube shorts are already a thing.

Who the fuck cares lmao

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels. I don't have Instagram but the YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway.

Ideally Pixelfed would win but that's very hopeful, a lot of the creators are expecting to be paid.

There's too much money to be made with the format for it to die yet.

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

Switch to ig reels or yt shorts

Probably become nordVPN subscribers.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Find a job?

They'll move to TokTik by DanceByte by the week's end.

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Same thing that happened to the Chinese creators on Youtube despite it being banned in China, I presume.

They’ll just move on to the next available platform.

I'm excited to find out!

They will have to work

They will disappear

They will cease to exist

Back to Vine.

I imagine all the clocks in their houses will just stop. Stop tick. Stop tock.

Start using a VPN..

They'll move to another platform

Deported.

I don't know why Amazon hasn't bought TikTok yet.

Lots of data, access to the Chinese market, a social media app under their wing, and an aligned work culture. Alongside the gains for ads, moving their shit to AWS, and retail gains, it seems like a better idea than throwing money into the AI fire.
