Don't y'all like how I made this entire image in like two minutes. Can't you tell? You know, because analytic dreams video to see the video along with the audio. But basically, of course, you already know what we're about to get into as it has risen once again. The owner of TikTok has came out because U.S. have basically furthered the process of shutting down TikTok. Now when it comes to bite dance who are the owners of TikTok and the algorithm costs or the algorithm being crucial to their system making a sale of the app with their algorithm still intact or still inside that app is unlikely. So that is why they would rather

shut down the entire TikTok app in the U.S. instead of giving or divesting, quote unquote, their algorithm to the U.S. So if you don't know, TikTok contributes a small portion to bite dances overall revenues, so that also has a play in it as whenever you're paying for something, you're not going to keep pumping money into it if it's only making you a certain amount.

Like there's only so much money you could pump into something until you realize this app just might not be that profitable. And I know that may be hard to hear for some as far as TikTok specifically because of its impact on the world. But what I like to put in perspective is the overhead versus revenue. Sometimes you could have. A lot of revenue coming in. And in the same sentence, well, in the same breath, you could say a bunch of teams is being funded by you.

So now that revenue is coming in has to be split in half, then that's not even regarding, well, that is regarding taxes. After that half, then you got to pay your team. After you pay your team, now you're left with something that is barely covered. the basic bills. I'm not saying basic in a way that they're struggling, of course. But as far as creating a project to increase revenue, you're basically just breaking even if that every single time. So because of that,

the only true, valuable thing that TikTok has is their system of operations in their algorithm. So them divesting that to the US. is just not going to happen so they'll rather just shut the whole platform down which basically the see the CEO shall chew came out to respond to the bill basically saying that make no mistake this is a ban this is a ban of ticot we're not we're not divesting into the u.s um territory like basically we'll just take the app away right because they don't like once again the the most important thing about TikTok is their algorithm and how they impact the masses.

That's what the U.S. wants. TikTok is not a profitable app. So that being said, I mean, think of all the TikTok creators you know. Are they coming out to defend TikTok? Once again, it should tell you something. It's almost like Vine 2.0. If you page your creators, they will come out in droves to push the agenda for the U.S. to back off. simply put tic talk does not make enough money for creators to care that the app is being taken away

but whatever let's hear the CEO of ticot respond to the proposal of them divesting or face a ban in like i think it's nine months anyways let's listen to him talk right now and once again analytic dreams video on spotify to hear the video along with the what to see to hear the video to see the video along with the audio. Hi everyone. It's show here. As you may have heard, Congress passed the bill

that the president signed into law that is designed to ban TikTok in the United States. That will take TikTok away from you and 170 million Americans who find community and connection on our platform. Make no mistake.

This is a ban. A ban on TikTok and a ban on you and your voice. Politicians may say otherwise, but don't get confused. Many who sponsored the bill admit a day. TikTok ban is their ultimate goal. It's obviously a disappointing moment, but it does not need to be a

defining one. It's actually ironic because the freedom of expression on TikTok reflects the same American values that make the United States a beacon of freedom. TikTok gives everyday Americans a powerful way to be seen and heard. And that's why so many people have made TikTok part of their daily lives. Rest assured, we aren't going anywhere. We are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts. The facts and the Constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again. Our community is filled with people who have found acceptance and compassion, offered inspiration and encouragement, increase their awareness and broaden to perspectives, ultimately adding more delight and joy to their lives. Our community is also filled with 7 million

business owners who have built their livelihoods on TikTok. While we make our case in court, you'll still be able to enjoy TikTok like you always have. In fact, if you have a story about how TikTok impacts your life, we'll love for you to share it to showcase exactly what we're fighting for. Meanwhile, we will continue to invest an... All right, so then he goes into future plans. So basically, he comes out and says that we are not divesting. Basically, y'all are going to have to ban us in the U.S.

because there is no way in the world that we're giving up our precious algorithm to the U.S., right? So anyways, the biggest thing is that 2023, the U.S. accounted for about 25% of TikTok's overall revenue, but only around 5% of BightDance's daily active users. So with that being said, BightDance plans to challenge the legislation in court, of course, and basically is targeting the unconstitutional force being used by U.S. right now to, to, to force a sale and or ban of TikTok. Well, it can't be a sale and ban, but you get what I'm saying, right? So this whole TikTok versus US is very intriguing to the point where I had to find another correspondent to talk about this situation and the gravity that we are witnessing because Lord knows if I can't dance to random TikTok songs that I don't know how I'm going to proceed

with life you know what i'm saying like it's just so important to do the renegade or to act like miles marilis in the streets only to get locked up by the cops so why are we not treating this with such heavy importance you know what i'm saying obviously i'm just joking but anyways well i'm not joking about is actually having somebody else to comment on the situation so here he goes right here and i will shout him out but i don't know what it is it says the catch-up feed on on Twitter the catch up feed. Anyways, this is the guy. Okay, so here's what I find interesting about the TikTok ban. They have now nine months to sell their US business. If they don't, they get banned in

US too bad. Now, if TikTok gets banned in US, based on reason data from Bernstein analysts, 57% of their users will migrate to or become active users on Mark Zuckerberg's meta. And the only platform that comes close to TikTok owned by Meta is Instagram. So most of the users will go to Instagram. Now, based on the same data, 22% of TikTok's users will go to YouTube owned by Google. So basically banning TikTok means good news for Google and Mata. These are, of course, the same companies who time after time have shown to be manipulating their algorithms in favor of the left and the Democrats and taking orders from US intelligence agencies to manipulate users and their content. Once again, I'm just letting this man talk. Of course,

course, I do not co-sign everything that he's saying. I just want a different perspective as far as as its legislation matters concerns. Anyways, let's keep going. So basically, this is about less to stop China from manipulating our society and brainwashing them. So we can give even more power to US intelligence agencies to brainwash the society. And that should be obvious to you when you saw both sides, both Democrats and Republicans, pushing the bill, to give even more power to U.S. intelligence agencies to brainwash the society. I like the fact that they came together with that bill. But that's not all. There are ongoing developments around the world with freedom-loving countries, freedom-loving countries trying to get rid of Elon Musk's ex, which is the only mainstream

free speech platform. Now, I am brown and slow. But even I can look at this and say, this looks like a group of people working hard to get rid of every platform they cannot control. All right. So basically that's another perspective. I think he said his name at the end, or if it wasn't his name, I think he said he was brown and slow, which is beyond racist. So, hey, do that what you will, because that's a different perspective. and I always like to have different perspectives just to lay out the facts or what people think is the facts to let people make their own decision, right? So TikTok versus U.S.

Basically, TikTok makes bite dance a minimal amount of money. Basically, they barely break even. So now the biggest thing for TikTok is their algorithm is them protecting the core elements of that. algorithm and that is the main reason why they do not want to divest into the US obviously there's probably other stuff that goes along with it because US does bring in a lot of dollars as far as spending power to the TikTok platform but if you have to give up your precious core algorithm just to keep up the limited financial impact that TikTok has on bite dance then they would just rather get rid of the whole app in the united states so hopefully

that cleared it up for y'all at the end of day click my link to my bio let me know in one of my social media's what do you think about ticot versus the u.s government and whose side are you on at the end of the day
