    From first hand experience, Instagram reels took the crown with YT shorts in the second place.

    In my circle, I haven’t seen anyone use local social media apps

      That’s a bit sad, I was hoping to hear the Indian apps having traction.

        It’s hard to beat a network with an already established user base (Meta, Google)

        Not sure how this is feasible unless you’re certain your audience is going to use a VPN too. Seems like a risky way to lose views ie. your revenue stream.

          When Youtube got slowed in Russia, pretty much every content creator stated they’re not going anywhere from Youtube, and people seemed really set on continuing to use the service. Also Russian Tiktok still is alive, even though the Bytedance disabled it quite a while aho. So I really wonder if there would be a similar situation on Tiktok in India or US.
