10:01Now PlayingDoes TikTok have a future? Hawk Discusses TikTok, Larry Ellison, and the Future of Social Media
Hawk discusses the uncertain future of TikTok and what it means for creators, audiences, and the broader social media landscape. With new TikTok community guidelines rolling out on September 13, many creators are already reporting violations for simply discussing the rules. Hawk questions whether TikTok is facing a shutdown in the United States, a possible sale led by Larry Ellison of Oracle, or even a replacement app rumored to be called M2.
Throughout this discussion, Hawk emphasizes the confusion around what’s true and what isn’t, pointing to how the destruction of facts and truth has become a larger societal issue. He compares his experiences on TikTok with YouTube and Patreon, highlighting the difference in how platforms treat their creators. While TikTok revenue through the Creator Fund has dropped dramatically—sometimes showing zero earnings despite millions of views—YouTube and Patreon continue to provide stability and respect for creators.
Hawk also considers the addictive side of TikTok’s instant gratification while acknowledging the deeper challenges the platform faces. From rumors of shutdowns to the rollout of stricter guidelines, Hawk focuses on how creators must adapt and prepare for changes that may completely reshape their presence online.
