The US is trying its best by kicking 170 million users out of their prefered app. Amazing that I haven't seen more effort to pick up the refugees. Twitter could've made a big video push. Tumblr (I know photomatt is a little distracted now) could've reminded the world it exists. etc.

    I take this as "nobody, including the competitors, think TikTok will actually go away"

      That could definitely be it. They might also be trying to play it cool, and not appear to gloat before the corpse is even cold. Instagram is running a lot of ads on TikTok now though.

    I know several people who are starting a new service to pick up those refugees - let’s see how it pans out!

    They tried that with Vine and it was a tremendous flop. Launched 2013, finally killed off around 2017.

      Vine was a massive hit at first. The stewards screwed it up.
