TikTok is destroying American self-confidence. In the past, they said that TikTok data is not secure, well, TikTok replaced executives with Americans, servers in the United States, stored data in Texas Oracle CEO, American regulation has done this, nothing insecure, right? But the United States still wants T no, recently released cruel words, asking to sell Tikto's shares by itself, or I will completely ban you.
So the question is, a TikTok is not a flood beast, why let them shake like this? In the past year, the layoffs of Internet giants in the United States, the salary cuts of salary cuts, all tightened their belts. Zuckerberg's mate company, that is, Facebook, has laid off 290,000 people since the beginning of last year, and recently announced that it will lay off another 10,000 people, Amazon laid off 18,000 people, and the second headquarters that was planned to be built was temporarily put on hold, and it could not be built, and 3,700 people received fire letters, accounting for half of the total number of employees. Don't ask is the identification of Internet traffic, the growth of new users is weak, but turn your head and see that TIKTOK has been under your nose for 20 years. The number of employees is less than 4,000, and at the beginning of the second year there were nearly 20,000 employees, and it is still hiring people all over the world.
What about good traffic peaking? Tik Talk's traffic has not peaked, just exceeded 100 million users in the United States, and the global download volume is close to 4 billion, and it continues to grow. But then again, an APP, no matter how successful he is, so that all Americans become loyal users, then it can't make much money, how can it make the United States panic? In fact, behind this is a major reversal of the world economic pattern. You know, the global industrial chain has always had a smile curve, and the two ends of the theoretical curve are technology and consumption. First of all, science and technology, the general product monopoly is immoral, but scientific and technological achievements are different, it has patents and copyrights, monopoly should be. For so many years, the United States has relied on the monopoly of science and technology, holding knives and forks to eat and drink spicy, so that they have become the world's largest consumer group, firmly grasping the two ends of the smile curve, is the boss, but also the customer, but also the gold father.
And what is the end of the smile curve? Production and manufacturing, typical dirty and tiring work, such work has always been done by manufacturing countries such as China, Japan and South Korea. In particular, we claim to be the world's factory, just like workers in the industrial chain, landing American scientific and technological achievements and selling them to American consumers. But I didn't expect the situation to change, before the emergence of TikTok, Facebook and Instagram were the absolute kings in the United States, now what? U.S. users spend only eight hours and 16 hours a month on Instagram and Facebook, but 30 hours on TikTok. On average, about seven out of ten U.S. 13- to 17-year-olds use TikTok. The proud Internet technology giants of the United States are being beaten by TKTOK, the United States' position at the top of the industrial chain is being shaken like never before, and the knife and fork in the hands of Americans are taking effect, can this not make him panic? As for his national security, hum, it's just a napkin on the legs of Western capitalists. You tell me? Follow me, let's take a bite.
