The American entrepreneur has been following TikTok for years from a business perspective. With the passing of time, he has always made his point clear about the video-making social media app.
However, a few months back, the founder had a totally different perspective regarding the social media video-making app.
Ohanian on dying TikTok fever
Ohanian shared this perspective on the video-making app’s limited lifespan in an interview with Inc. a few days ago. He focused on the fact that TikTok’s enthusiasm might go down among Gen Z kids, who once enjoyed using the app. He also talked about how the social media app once literally ruled over teenage kids’ hearts.
Further, he explained how more video-making apps are coming over now that the population of TikTok is growing, which might be one of the biggest reasons for the dying TikTok enthusiasm. Before this, the Reddit co-founder also expressed his opinion on the growing TikTok population but also focused on the fact that this fast growth can lead to problems, which are certainly wide awake today.
