TikTok Ban Looms in the US

TikTok is set for a U.S. ban on January 19, 2025, unless ByteDance sells the platform. Concerns about national security risks due to data-sharing with the Chinese government have fueled the move. The Supreme Court will rule on its legality just days before the ban takes effect.

Creators and businesses reliant on TikTok are quickly exploring alternatives like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts to maintain their presence. The outcome could have a significant economic impact, as TikTok contributes approximately $1.3 billion to the U.S. economy annually.

Pokimane Explains Transition to Duo Podcast

Pokimane recently revealed why she canceled her solo podcast, “Don’t Tell Anyone,” opting for a duo show with LilyPichu. Initially launched in November 2023, her solo venture faced challenges in maintaining structured, engaging content alone. On the Chuckle Sandwich podcast, she admitted, “I told all my stories,” highlighting the difficulty of consistently creating meaningful episodes.

Switching to Sweet n Sour with LilyPichu in September 2024, Pokimane has embraced a more collaborative format. In her first episode, she shared a fascinating story about a life-changing contract offer from YouTube to switch from Twitch. This move has allowed her to continue delivering captivating content alongside her partner.
