They can’t buy TikTok, and it’s too late to copy it.

Probably not but the TikTok has to pivot before they loose steam and start being a coglomorate otherwise they Will eventually fade so it depends on how successfully they execute this. Meantime Facebook just needs to catch the next TikTok to be relevant again.

Both companies have to keep evolving to stay relevant, yes.

One is declining and reviled, and the other is growing and seen as fun.

That’s the only difference.

It’s time to stop Facebook buying companies then - how anyone approved them buying WhatsApp is beyond my understanding. I really don’t like TikTok, but I really don’t like Facebook (the company) a bit more, so I hope TikTok does well and will not be bought.

They can acquire new users but copying them or buying them won’t necessarily keep them.

If the youth are allergic to any FB networks there just needs to be a viable alternative for them to flee.
