Less users = less money the owners are making.

What if people are moving to "No App"? Social media is becoming uncool, especially with all the government involvement lately. I wouldn't bet a small sum that many of those quitting Tiktok are done with social media.

"No App" is still a completely acceptable result, they didn't buy tiktok to make money, they did it to stop people talking about things that the owners disagree with.

I feel like Oracle and the involved parties of the sale are expecting to make money from the transaction over time.
