That sounds like an overestimation of their importance.
My understanding is that TikTok did not introduce anything new nor does it offer anything truly unique. They did a major marketing push about 6 years ago to grab market share of an existing and crowded arena, which they have continued to grow. If they go away, the others actors in this space are already poised to fill any "void", without hesitation, until the next social media trend emerges.
I don't think that shifting conditions and fluctuations in a market place are damage, I think that it is just business.
I believe that any creators making a livelihood from social media are not doing it solely from TikTok, they are (or at least should be) diversified across multiple platforms for stability and increased earning potential.
I'm not even sure what this is supposed to even mean. TikTok is a platform, not an audience. The audience is still there. The artists are still there. A vast multitude of options that are not TikTok exist for connecting those 2 groups. Nothing is being denied.
Basically, as it was before TikTok, so shall it be after TikTok.
That may be, but TikTok did not argue against the consolidation of social media platforms. That would be a different discussion.
Out of curiosity, what is the topic that you are discussing?
I'm discussing TikTok making grandiose, inaccurate and unfounded statements in an attempt to manipulate their users. And I'm attempting to shed light on that attempt.
What do you think I don't care about? You haven't answered my question about what topic you are trying to discuss. Cause it doesn't sound like you are discussing corporations, like TikTok, being dishonest and deceptive to their customers.
