I hope you're correct. However, as a TechWitch of 15 years, a content creator for 10, and an influencer for 5, with a husband in tech and marketing for 17 years...I do not have that much faith in these platforms once they decide to "have all the things".

I've seen way too many go down the toilet when they try to implement everything everyone else is doing instead of focus on what can enhance their original reason for growing so large.
Tik Tok is being shut down because the powers that shouldn't be don't have the control over it to censor inconvenient truth. Their lying narratives are failing so they need censorship. Too much truth about reality is being exposed. Certain people who are above criticism are being rightfully exposed. And the US needs that stopped, that's why Trump was placed back in the Whitehouse. Both candidates are controlled by TPTB and now that they have a permanent divide they need Trump and the right to be all in on antisemitism laws. AIPAC wants tik tok shut down. The ADL, southern poverty law center. Look how fast the protests on college campuses were shut down. With the threat to the protesters never being eligible to get jobs for protesting against atrocities. To know who rules you, simply find out who you're not allowed to criticize!
They lied to us about TikTok being a “Chinese based app“ and how they were concerned about “the safety of our data“ and so 3.7 million of us skipped gleefully over to an ACTUAL Chinese app and clicked the TOS without reading it. We don’t read it in English. Why would we read it in Mandarin? Made a bunch of friends, learned a bunch of Mandarin, and found out they lied to us about the Chinese people as well.
Such as: did you know once they buy a house, which averages around $30,000 American, they own it for life? They pay no “property taxes“ and their children can take over that house without penalty. The grocery hauls are amazing (and insulting). Like did you know they are eating fresh food, fresh lobster and crab and feeding themselves and 4 family members for two weeks for under $90 USD? Did you know that they have EV cars that perform better than luxury cars stateside and they only cost $10,000? Same thing they buy the car they buy the tag, and then it’s done. They don’t keep paying year after year.
But my favorite is that with 1.4 billion people… They have .018% homelessness. And 97% have full universal healthcare coverage. So what’s our problem?
All in less than 24 hours. That was on Monday, January the 13th. So when TikTok went dark yesterday, Saturday the 18th… None of us went back to Meta, which is what they anticipated… No, no. 5 million people hung out on Red Note for 24 solid hours.
We are pissed, we are broke, we are awake, and we are petty as shit.
I still think the “we can do it all!!” approach is stupid for companies. But since data breaches aren’t their actual concern, otherwise Meta would have been shut down a decade ago, NOW if you can’t do YouTube then sure. Post videos on a writing app.
I’ll be honest, I’ll probably do it now as well since my hand is forced. But “posting videos” so you can still post videos will never have the same impact as TikTok. So if we’re hoping to “transfer our audience” and have a modicum of success like we did on the revolutionary app that supports the First Amendment in a way no one could predict, then we’re all about to have a VERY rude awakening.

I agree… And a lot happens in seven months.

Well. Things change 6 months later.
