It's going to be so interesting seeing how all of this plays out. Will meta succeed in reclaiming their market share? Will a new app take the throne? Will congress just keep banning any app that is too popular and not under the american oligarchys control? Will trump somehow leverage this into him being the one to save tiktok? Will loops UI ever be good enough to compete? Only time will tell.
What a strange timeline we live in lol
Probably not, nobody trusts them especially not z and alpha
Maybe. Maybe it’s red book?
100% but they’re slow moving dinosaurs
Probably
Hope so
I agree with all your predictions to my questions lol.
Though i don't think rednote will actually take the place of tiktok, I think that's mostly a protest migration & something else will take the top spot -- if tiktok actually stays banned. I do think there's a chance trump will choose not to enforce the ban in a meaningful way because he knows it will rally quite a few young and nieve voters into his camp (plus he'd probably get a hefty payoff).
I think if they adopt automated translation to English and back to Chinese it has potential to take off
