"Thank you TikTok for everything <3" the user @snarkymarky, who made several viral sounds and videos, told his 4.5 million followers in a video clipping together his popular posts. With heartfelt gratitude, he represents the emotional connection many creators feel as they bid farewell to a platform that has profoundly impacted their lives and careers.
Charlie Puth posted a video of himself playing his extremely sad "See You Again" on the piano, captioned "Farewell TikTok. Although this isn't goodbye..." This reflects the sentiment of creators who recognize the platform's significance in their journeys but are also hopeful for continuity on other social media.
Victoria Paris, who has 1.9 million TikTok followers, posted "I have loved every day on here but hopefully I can catch you all on Instagram." This expresses a common sentiment among creators who are not just saying goodbye, but also seeking to maintain connections with their audience across different platforms.
Hundreds of thousands of other users have migrated to the Chinese app Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote, seeing it as a response to the U.S. government's stance on TikTok. Users view their shift to RedNote as a sort of rebellion, using the platform while still navigating similar data protection concerns.
