US should call their bluff. If Tiktok gets banned, people will complain for a little bit until people forget and move on to what's next. Why doesn't an American company make something that's practically identical? People will be all desperate for their 5 second dopamine rush that they will download anything.
Vine.co returns!
I think Elon might just do that based on what I've been reading.
Dear god no
As I recall, the guy who makes Pixelfed (dansup?) is also working on a vine clone called loops. It looks like the site is https://loops.video/ Doesn't appear to be operational yet.
i never got to experience vine (and google+)
It would be his first good instinct. But bringing back the domain is t going to bring back the magic. Vine is dead and nothing Musked is going to be any fun.
India did this and Instagram reels is the main one that benefited. Probably be the same for US if it pulls through on this.
YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most US creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already
They can't, the algorithm is the best part about tiktok and none of the competitors come close.
