would anyone use it though? Isn't this the same as launching a instagram clone a couple of years ago. It's not a challenge to build but your a clone and presumably don't have the clout to get teens to even see it let alone use it.

You'd probably need some compelling functionality.. maybe filter fx or something. But if TikTok is banned in the US then you might have a fighting chance.
