- Comment on One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t mention installs for tiktok, but does mention that tiktok usage remained flat, but competing apps have seen an increase in downloads.
“However, the increase in uninstalls has not translated into a meaningful drop in U.S. usage.

Competing apps, however, have seen a bump in interest. Sensor Tower data shows U.S. downloads for UpScrolled increased more than tenfold compared with the prior week, while Skylight Social rose 919% and Chinese-owned Rednote climbed 53% week over week.”
