An interesting angle to this whole drama that I haven’t seen discussed much: in the creator industry, TikTok is known for being significantly harder to make money from your content, as compared to YouTube. For various reasons, content just makes much more money on YouTube than it does on TikTok.
I do wonder what will happen if TikTok users migrate to YouTube shorts, and if that will change this.
I made $400 making tiktoks as a hobby. I would say its much easier to earn money on tiktok, but harder to earn huge sums. A lot of people are currently making ends meet with what they get from Tiktok.
