There is limited eye time. TikTok is on the path to winner-takes-all in the space it is currently in. I would value it at $300B given its huge potential that none of its competitors or copiers can have. $50B is low imo -- likely caused by the political pressure.
Edit: this is a genuine question I do not have an answer for and I'd like to hear some takes.
$50B for TikTok sounds a lot. I am wondering how they want to keep TikTok attractive for the audience. Would it hit a similar fate as Snap?
Fate similar to Snap? $SNAP is doing just fine and is up 38% this year. 17% DAU growth in the past year. I'm sure TikTok would be thrilled to have 17% user growth and increasing revenues 9 years down the line.
Sure DAU is up, but we all know those metrics are inflated BS and monetization is all that really matters. It’s been 3 years since IPO and they’re still making a heavy loss.
It's a bit amusing to see all the "suffer Snapchat's fate" comments here. Snapchat has recovered from the low point at the end of 2018 when FB/Insta had copied the stories feature and all seemed lost. Their traffic is up, stock is up and revenue is growing quickly again ($1.18B in 2018 -> $1.72B in 2019).

What is stopping TikTok from getting flavor-of-the-month'd as teenagers and young adults move to newer platforms? Edit: this is a genuine question I do not have an answer for and I'd like to hear some takes.

Have there been any major Facebook flops? They seem to be very successful in acquiring (WhatsApp, Instagram) and diversifying (Facebook Messenger, Instagram Stories) the next social thing. They are no Yahoo or, on occasion, Microsoft.
Moments, Poke, Camera are a few. Local could be huge if they had the right strategy.
Sounds more like Facebook should restructure as a holding company and keep creating independent concepts to see what succeeds, but keeping the Facebook name is likely an ego-driven decision.
