It will be a shadow of his former self being run by these hacks. There are two greedy and short-sighted to run a growing platform.
Don't underestimate the stupidity and calcification of tiktok users, they'll just stick around having never heard of the sale. They won't even question why their feed is now a nonstop loop of Kirk clips.
Yes and no. The people that were driving content on there we'll leave the site, it will be like a dead Internet site, half wits interacting with Bots and AI. The people that drove interaction on that site, say by criticizing Israel's bullshit, will leave, which was half the reason they attacked the site in the first place. God forbid Americans disagree with their leaders about Israel just because those leaders are on video fucking underage children that Israel has in their possession.
They literally started attacking TikTok because TikTokers are too "woke" (aka anti-genocide).
The real dummies are the people who join fascists in attacking them with garbage stereotypes, etc.
