TikTok's Music Dilemma

A pivotal moment for TikTok and the music industry is unfolding as the platform's true value is questioned—whether it lies in the music itself or the community and algorithm.

This shift could inadvertently benefit independent artists, allowing them to gain more exposure in a market dominated by top-tier musicians.
