So everyone here is probably like "please do it" but I do wonder how the general populace would react. Would people actually miss TikTok if it just disappeared?

Nope. They'd probably move to YouTube shorts or some other lower quality copy of Vine.

They’d reluctantly use Shorts or Slides if there’s no alternative, but realistically it’ll be something new. TikTok’s absence creates a vacuum that could be a huge opportunity for a new platform.

Doesn't pixelfed support shirt videos now?

We might even get pants videos in 2025.

What’s next? Hats? Shoes? The sky’s the limit.
