Theres a lot of folks who have their entire livelihoods bound up in TikTok," Indiana University Professor for Business Law and Ethics Scott Shackelford said. Shackelford says were looking at potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of economic activity that could be sacrificed because of the ban.Content creators will likely have to find alternatives in the near future. Its most likely going to transition to other platforms over time," he said. Thats the case for Terrell Davis, whos known as The Tea Guy.My TikTok is essentially me getting requests from different followers and making the tea with the combinations that they suggest," Davis said. TikTok has opened up many doors for Davis, including him starting an online tea shop called Mintea.Its helped me tremendously. Its essentially sales funneling. If I post a video and say maybe 10,000 people watch it, theres a chance that at least 60-100 of those people want to click the link in the bio or use the products I use to make my teas, which are in my website," he said. Davis has 1.9 million followers on TikTok. He fears what will happen if that goes away.Its still going to be detrimental. Its still 1.9 million people that have the potential to see my videos that wont have the potential to see them anymore," Davis said.
