TikTok Ban: ByteDance Pushes Another App, Lemon8 In The U.S
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company is now paying influencers to advertise its other app, Lemon8, amidst potential bans on TikTok by the U.S. government.

The U.S. Senate is at present, mulling over a bill that could force ByteDance to dispossess itself of TikTok or face a ban in the country.

Influencers are being offered money to promote Lemon8 on TikTok, though some have declined due to lack of personal interest or the amount involved.

Despite the bill targeting TikTok, ByteDance may exploit loopholes to avoid a ban, such as Lemon8’s relatively low user base.

ByteDance has appointed TikTok’s CEO to head Lemon8, signifying efforts to strengthen ties between the two apps.

At the moment, Lemon8 is being presented as a separate entity from ByteDance to potentially evade classification as a “foreign adversary” app.

ByteDance’s strategy appears to be maximising on the crisis to grow Lemon8 and defend against potential bans on TikTok.

What Does All This Mean?

ByteDance leveraging influencers to promote Lemon8 is mo doubt a cunning move that reeks of desperation and ethical ambiguity.

While a potential ban looms for TikTok, ByteDance’s decision to pivot towards promoting Lemon8 through influencer marketing is nothing short of a calculated maneuver to circumnavigate regulatory scrutiny. While influencers tout the virtues of Lemon8, the underlying motive is clear: ByteDance is fighting to protect its interests amidst growing pressure from lawmakers.

Another interesting fact to note is that ByteDance is willing to exploit its own user base by paying influencers to endorse a platform they may not even use— a move that speaks volumes about its priorities.

By framing Lemon8 as a separate entity and downplaying its association with ByteDance, the company is attempting to manipulate the narrative to its advantage.

As it stands, its time for ByteDance to face the consequences of its actions and prioritize the interests of the public over its own corporate agenda.
