    No tiktok is not focused on profit. It literally has one of the worst/non existent monetization systems.

        Case in point. Vine literally can’t survive and so shouldn’t TikTok. Unless of course it’s getting propped up by a government with endless funds and not focused on profits.

          Why are you so convinced that an advertising platform that a 1/3rd of the country is glued to is unsustainable. And that’s ignoring the rest of the world, which is the majority of their user base.

            The same reason why twitter was NEVER profitable and it had more eyes glued to it. World presidents were using twitter for announcements. Never profitable.

            I wouldn’t consider Uber. This is closer to Vine vs TikTok. And we all know what happened to Vine.
