TikTok content is mostly visual. My YouTube shorts are frequently foreign language with AI subtitles.

Also, TikTok is banned in India and—ironically—China [1].

A valid point, but I doubt people are going to notice if “clips of people slipping on ice” suddenly exclude Americans post 2024.

There will be a small category of content that will disappear. For instance, my fyp was full of Chinese fashion content (by choice) so I'm sure there are other categories of content that non-Americans consume that are American. Whether it's Movies or Music or whatever.
