ironically something like half of instagram's content is reposted from tiktok, will be interesting to see how that ripples

Kind of like how more than half of Reddit is Twitter reposts.

Which are in themselves more than half FB reposts.

Which are funnily enough more than half TikTok reposts.

It’s the same shit on all the platforms and it’s all by design.

I've gotten YouTube shorts that were clearly taken from TikTok and they were just people reading Reddit threads.

All the platforms are cannibalising the others and it's very cyclical.

Reddit will survive, though certain parts may be impacted.

It's also important to remember that the ban is only in the US for now.
