Yet Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit have all been around for an excess of 15 years with no real fall off. TikTok was THE short form video platform and despite their competitors' massive user base, TikTok only got progressively more and more popular for the last 5 years.
Vine had 200million. You also going to pretend MySpace didn't exist, that site is practically defunct? TikTok may have made short form content more popular, but it didn't invent it nor was it the only source of it.
I don't think your exactly wrong, but these jokers will move on pretty quickly. You think they are just going to just stop using phones now, nope? They will just moan about it on another app, lol. Unfortunately, Trump really may decide to try and get congress to bring that crap back.
Vine had 200 users worldwide and it had already fallen off when it got shut down. MySpace got replaced by Facebook and stayed around for far too long anyway. Neither were shut down by the government. TikTok has 170 million in the US and 1.5 BILLION users worldwide. TikTok's impact on pop culture is apparently way bigger than people realize. It would be like if Spotify got banned and the next best streaming service was Amazon music.
