Meanwhile the mainstream will probably just focus on Instagram and its reels feature as pretty much all bigger creators crosspost everything there as well.
Not with a ten meter cattle prod for me, anyone willing to indulge Zuck's midlife Nazi crisis deserves him.
I'm waiting for by Loops verification mail but I'd say the average Lemmy user has not that much in common with the average TikTok/IG user.
The fact that they managed to clone the most idiotic and brainwashing platform on the internet proves that they are pretty average.
The instagram reels and YouTube shorts algorithms are utter shit. I’ve tried, but holy shit there’s some crap in there.
In all likelihood, Red Note will be banned banned, probably before the Red Note devs add a built-in translate function.
but uh, why tf did they use tiktok in the first place
You can still connect to it, the app store has to take it down and it can't be hosted in the u.s. assuming your ISP allows it, you can still access the TikTok servers outside of the u.s. but that's going to cause a lot of traffic and ISPs will throttle it or block it completely.
You can still side load the app, not sure how iOS users are going to do that and that's going to be the majority of people.
So you may or may not still be able to use the current app without a VPN until TikTok updates it or the OEMs push an update that bricks it.
Connecting to it isn't hard, But they won't be able to pay people, so the US content will just get starved out.
Youtube has backed down a lot, but they're still paying their golden geese.
Spiffing britt has let a new recent video payouts out of the bag, a good multi-million hit view video still nets him around 20k.
Ahh, well, we'll see I suppose.
I'm not actually seeing anything preventing creators from being paid, they're just going to lose the majority of their u.s. audience on the platform.
They won't freeze the assets until the company is officially barred from working here. They won't just fuck around and blindly try to figure out what they're doing, once they command Apple and Google to remove it from the App store, they'll start freezing assets and stopping financial transactions. It's just the nature of the beast.
Way to much credit for the average user.
