do you not think content creation is work in general or just when young people do it

Depends on the content

Find a job?

atrielienz ,

Other platforms exist. I’m sure they’ll be fine.

TheMinions ,

I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.

PunnyName , (edited )

A lot of people exclusively use TT for business, via the TT store, which isn’t implemented in other platforms (many of which users don’t trust). They’ll have a rough go of it if they don’t diversify.

Then those people are idiots.

I thought they mostly made money through sponsorships rather than direct payments.

themurphy ,

They often do. Merchandise too, if they are big.

I was going to ask this… doesn’t vpn work? Is VPN being bamed too?

TheMinions ,

I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.

Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.

It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.

In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.

Deported.

TheBigBrother ,

Start using a VPN…

Oh no! Anyway…

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.

A lot of these are partial bans. Canada for example only bans it for government issued phones which makes sense, there shouldn’t be any apps let alone social media apps on those devices.

alansuspect ,

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.

Instigate ,

And it’s also only banned on work devices. There’s no ban on government employees having TikTok on their personal phones, although I personally don’t.

alci ,

Sure. Exactly the same in France.

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah same for Australia.

JenIsBringingTheDrugs ,

Same for Belgium

themurphy ,

That’s very inaccurate information.

It’s basically only the government officials who can’t have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.

That’s it.

skullgiver ,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

Am from the Netherlands. Can confirm TikTok hasn’t been blocked yet. I think the ban only applies to some government officials, and I don’t think it’s enforced well for most of those.

INHALE_VEGETABLES ,

A post so inaccurate it belongs on tic toc.

BigMikeInAustin ,

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

FalseMyrmidon ,

They'll move to another platform

Max_P ,
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels. I don’t have Instagram but the YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway.

Ideally Pixelfed would win but that’s very hopeful, a lot of the creators are expecting to be paid.

There’s too much money to be made with the format for it to die yet.

Chozo ,

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google's got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn't fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

Max_P ,
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

I do like the YouTube integration. A good chunk of them have a link to a main long form video which is nice when you don’t want to watch a video in 50 parts. You can scroll and be like, that’s a cool project let me watch the full 30 mins video.

rand_alpha19 ,

Are YouTube shorts still 1 minute maximum? Until that changes, I don't think they'll be a viable replacement since content longer than a minute seems to be the sweet spot for a sizeable amount of Tiktok's user base. Especially when it comes to informative or political content.

user224 ,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

YouTube also supports longer videos outside of shorts. And they don’t even have to be in portrait mode. ^/j^

Zagorath ,

YT Shorts are basically just TikTok crossposts anyway

Hey that’s not true! Some of them a small clips from longer main videos.

Today I will answer all your most important questions. For example, the answer to eternal happiness is… more in part 2!

FinalRemix ,

And in a fucked up vertical crop, for some reason!

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

The reason is that too be a Short it has to be vertical.

FinalRemix ,

That’s… amazingly idiotic.

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

It was explicitly created to be “TikTok, but on YouTube”. What would you expect?

FinalRemix ,

I expect nothing and I’m still let down.
