As a parent who occasionally monitors the trends in genZ social media, I'm super interested to see how this would shape US culture, post-ban. TikTok and shorts are _huge_, if not the predominant driver of memetic trends, business and communication.

Instagram has Reels, and I'd only suspect that many would migrate there? Very interesting time to observe.

Most likely Reels and YT Shorts.

The same thing happened in India in 2020 after their Chinese app ban which included PUBG and Genshin as well.
