As the TikTok ban will come in on 19th January I feel like this is another vine situation. Will people be switching to a new app or Will it be like a few year period where there is no app. I can’t switch to instagram reels the algorithm is horrible. The comments on instagram are so hateful and you can’t really connect with people with the same interests. I feel like Pinterest could be a good switch but then again it’s nothing like TikTok. Please all Americans let me know if there’s any apps you’ll be switching to with short form content.
Pinning important info:
(Be sure to check our discord for updated news, and I will be releasing a free tutorial there on getting around the TikTok ban within a day of it happening: Media Maxxing )
Lemon8 WILL BE BANNED along with CapCut AND hypic. They’re all owned by byte dance, which is what the us is trying to ban.
Clapper:
Clappers algorithm is shit, apps janky as fuck. Tends to be a lot of porn and other weird shit since their moderation features seem to be pretty nonexistent
Neptune:
App in development whose entire marketing strategy is pretty much self proclaimed TikTok alternative. I’ve been in the social media/marketing space professionally now for about a decade, and in the app development space for long enough to know a little bit. I am HIGHLY confident this app will not work for a huge number of reasons that I’m not going to go into unless people are actually wondering. They also claim to be big on monetization, but have absolutely no real profitable creator fund anywhere on their roadmap
YouTube (shorts)
has a bad audience now, but will probably improve if TikTok’s banned since people need somewhere to go. Hopefully we’ll be able to see their pay increase for shorts as well if this happens, because right now it’s like 2-4 CENTS per thousand views which is absurdly low. Although obviously YouTube long form has always paid the most
Instagram (reels)
Baffles me they still have no sort of real fund for their creators. I have a very well known IG account with 600k followers and makes me a total of 0 dollars a month. Before someone tries and says “yes they do___” they did for a minute, but it was hard to get into and hardly anyone is in it. They pay basically nobody, anything.
Their algorithm is also heavily weighted. That means if you have a cult like following where your followers will like your posts no matter what, it’s very helpful and your shittiest posts can still get views. If not, then Instagram won’t push your content out to many new people.
Snapchat
We all know this isn’t going to happen, they don’t even have a comment reply feature
Most creators are going to move to YouTube so they can get paid
For the people asking about VPNs and such to use TikTok after the fact; the exact method is unknown currently because we’re not sure EXACTLY how/if/when this ban is going to happen. There are way too many factors we can’t be sure of, but again I will be making a full free tutorial on getting past the ban if it does happen, and it will be announced in our community’s discord found here https://www.reddit.com/r/Tiktokhelp/s/putEqEz5BS
Im a content creator like many, but also have daily lives. If the ban takes place I’ll have to find a new place to do my daily lives where I can earn immediately. I found my people on this app. I’m in recovery (16 years on febuary 16th). I also advocate for good mental health, and was nominated for a "Cheer Choice Award " this April in Las Vegas because of tiktok. I found a great community of people that have helped me through a lot of rough times, and helped transform me i to the person I am today. I’m very greatful for tiktok.
I heard some people talking about going to Red Notes?
Getting my life back for a little while might be nice. My screen time is outrageous from Tik tok 
I heard about an app called RedNote today, I made an account. It’s also Chinese so I can reunite with my Chinese spy🤪
i just want a app that i can get monetized on😭 im trying yt shorts now
I’ve heard some people talking about fanbase?
To think a lot of American TikTok employees as well as the American employees behind Lemon8, CapCut and Hypic will lose their jobs this week(especially when their offices are likely gonna be closed on January 19th due to the TikTok ban).
A lot of people are already cross posting to Reels and that gets sent over to Facebook. I have seen two apps promos who promise to be the next TikTok but let’s face it…TikTok was a special blend of perfect timing and a company that ran with it.
Red Notes shows your public IP lol
So far for me Rednote is good. It’s a little hard to navigate at first, but a lot of Chinese users on the app are actually posting basic Mandarin lessons so American users can learn how to use all the features and set up their profiles and stuff. I like the vibe so far, and I hear the algorithm works really similarly to Tiktok. I’ve been impressed with what’s showed up on my feed for sure
im fucking done with social media. reddit. im switching back to reddit. fukkit reddit shorts
I like Scoopz but no one seems to agree. 
It appears to me to do the same thing as TT, but I feel defeated mentioning it, even here when it’s asked.
Going to miss you Americans on the app
So from reading the comments on this post, everyone’s going to be split between which of the 5-6 new apps are better, no single app will get a sufficient audience and they’ll all wither away leaving people to go to Youtube or Instagram, lol
Is there a way to download all of my videos without clicking on each one individually? 4 plus years of memories I don’t want to lose.
I did request my data as a JSON file but unsure how to use it once I get access to it.
Still waiting for tiktok to generate it.
Trump won’t allow it he knows TikTok brainwashing gen z won him the election
I’m not leaving the app.
Dumb question but if you still wanted to use TikTok could you use a vpn to access it?
