In January, a Supreme Court ruling resulted in a brief TikTok ban affecting 170 million Americans, leading to public concern and humor about losing the app. After 14 hours, TikTok returned, but many users experienced a reset in their content algorithms, which caused some dissatisfaction. While the initial panic subsided, with alternatives like Instagram Reels being pushed back, users remained in uncertainty due to an approaching April 5 deadline for TikTok's potential sale to an American buyer or a return to darkness in the U.S.
