This kills the app.
- Finally.
- I don't think so. With the tiktok shop, this move will push creators to shill (mostly) crappy products in order to make money. Or potentially transition to something like Patreon, but I'm not sure if that's even doable with short form content.
  
  It will create a content creation vacuum, which will be filled by the next big thing.
  
  Some creators do get support from patreon, but most of those creators are on other platforms. I'm betting that this move pushes those creators out to focus on their other platforms, which will lead to a drastic drop in quality content.
- It's only going to kill shorter videos, the longer ones will still be eligible to the creation fund.
  
  So what's the new duration everything will now be stretched to? On youtube it's 10 minutes as that allows you yo run more ads.
- Wdym kills. Retards there donate to people on live stream writing their names in fucking notepad.exe
  
  The algorithm shows you more of what you spend time watching.
I got too excited when I saw the first half of the headline. :P
