As the deadline nears for TikTok to transition ownership, multiple bids are emerging, notably from Amazon and Zoop. Amazon's interest appears driven by leveraging TikTok’s influencer marketing for product sales. However, insider opinions suggest Amazon's bid might not gain traction. Meanwhile, Zoop's co-founder emphasizes a new ownership approach that prioritizes equitable benefits for creators and their communities. The law mandating a sale stems from national security concerns about TikTok being a Chinese-owned entity, complicating the future of the app with ongoing legislative scrutiny.
Amazon's bid for TikTok might be seen as a strategy to tap into TikTok's influencer market, leveraging existing connections with influencers to boost sales.
RJ Phillips of Zoop advocates for a new ownership model where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value generated by their content.
