I totally agree. Is there a community of like-minded folks out there somewhere? I'd love to see someone give this a try.

The US is trying its best by kicking 170 million users out of their prefered app. Amazing that I haven't seen more effort to pick up the refugees. Twitter could've made a big video push. Tumblr (I know photomatt is a little distracted now) could've reminded the world it exists. etc.

  • I take this as "nobody, including the competitors, think TikTok will actually go away"

    • That could definitely be it. They might also be trying to play it cool, and not appear to gloat before the corpse is even cold. Instagram is running a lot of ads on TikTok now though.

  • I know several people who are starting a new service to pick up those refugees - let’s see how it pans out!

    They tried that with Vine and it was a tremendous flop. Launched 2013, finally killed off around 2017.
