There is a large amount of creators on the platform that live off their content and eCommerce enabled through the platform. So it disappearing overnight would severely impact people who have a majority of their livelihood through the app.
Won't someone think of the poor zoomer influencers?

Banning TikTok will cause an entire generation of Americans to lose all trust in their institutions. Whatever vanishingly small influence China may or may not have through TikTok---still completely unproven innuendo---pales compared to the absolute public relations coup that would win were it banned. If you think cynicism is bad now, there will be zero trust in the democratic process and the rules-based order were this to happen.
Fellas is democracy gonna die because nurses can't twerk on TikTok anymore?

Unironically, for the very young, this is probably much more impactful than the knowledge that our government has been hijacked for decades.

Doesn't tiktok monetization pay pennies? And creators often try to use it to build up a following on youtube to actually make money.

RPM is actually way higher than YouTube shorts but they limit what counts as a view so much that YouTube sometimes still wins out. But you could totally survive off of just TikTok income if you were big enough. I've been monetized for around 3 months and make a little under 2k a month.

Yeah if you actually want to make money from shortform the general advice is post to all platforms and try to get monetized on them all. Youtube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat are the big ones I think. I've only been successful on YouTube and TikTok tho.

Why do you persist on trying to claim that 5.1 doesn't say exactly what it says. Also, why are you still here?
You're a manipulative traitor. A traitor to us, a traitor to open source, a traitor to America, and a traitor to humanity.
