There will be quite a stir in the school after TikTok disappears, and if a few kids still have access, they will get attention and other kids will want to know how. Perhaps a silver lining is that we're helping the upcoming generation understand the importance of controlling their own devices.


Imagine this boosts android marketshare in Montana as a side effect.


If it somehow happens I hope Apple follows with allowing side loading of (signed) apps as a competitive response. One can only dream..


i'd believe it's more likely they'll just switch to instagram. I get that insta may be worse in recommendation, but the extra hassle with apk may be enough to move users towards another app


Eh...given that Instagram Reels is virtually an identical product, I have a feeling kids will migrate over there. On a side note, Meta is probably signing praises for Montana now.
