Re:ByteDance investors value TikTok at $50B in takeover bid by rattray on Wednesday July 29, 2020 @04:01PM (#23990943)
I agree completely – and I wonder if it's part of the problem. If an advertiser on TikTok doesn't entertain me, I'm swiping. Whereas on Instagram, I'm more willing to look at some pants or whatever for a second – it's not that much less interesting than the competition (baby pics).

Good point, haven't thought of that. I guess Instagram is still in trouble because of the loss of eyeballs to TikTok. I've seen a few famous TikTokers advertising products at the end of their video. Maybe they could require taking a cut there. I guess they'll figure something out, that's why they hired all those facebook executives.
