AUGUSTA, Ga. () – With only two days left before TikTok is banned in the US, many creators are nervous about what the future may hold for them.

With the Supreme Court upholding its decision to ban the app, it will be forced to go dark on Sunday unless given a definitive statement from the White House, and speaking with local creators in the CSRA, they are sad to see this app go.

One creator, Devin Johnson, has been working to get to where he is now since 2021 and doesn’t want to start the whole process over, which has given him many opportunities.

“TikTok is so easy to get your information and videos out nationally and globally. With other platforms, it’s just kind of hard to do,” said Devin Johnson, Tik Tok Creator. “Now that if it does go dark, I’m going to have to start from scratch. Like for me, I’m trying out with different programs and organizations, and they see the 38 thousand followers. They see the almost 5 million likes, and they’re like, I want to work with this guy.”

Another creator, Daniel Browning, is worried because right now, there is no other app that reaches people from all over the world like TikTok, and he has been able to share his love for dance with many. 

“As an artist and most artists would probably agree, without social media, it’s very, very hard to have your work seen at all,” said Daniel Browning, Tik Tok Creator. “And even through different platforms, most of us struggled. I’ve had a chance to be on a show that Shakira produced, I’ve worked with artists, I’ve done So You Think You Can Dance. I’ve done all these different things, and a lot of that stemmed from the app.”

Johnson and Browning credit TikTok with helping them both get to where they are in their current careers and that it has done the same for many others

“I posed a video about J Cole; I apologized to J Cole. That video went mega-viral. My boss now called me at the time and was like, you got the job. That’s the next day. So, like, I got my job off of TikTok,” said Johnson.

Creators use this app as a form of creativity, a full-time job, or another form of income.

“The fact that there’s something that is out there that’s allowing us to not only have fun doing but providing for our families. It’s been an absolute blessing,” said Browning.

For now, both plan to head to other apps to post their content and hope that something will save TikTok.
