Going back to old news...

When Tik Tok came out in the play store many people considered it dumb and useless, but after it started hitting the top charts in the play store everyone started telling this is it. This is the future of social media and that unless you are on Tik Tok you are losing out on so many potential followers, traffic, or sales and this was quite true.
