I heard the creator program offered by tiktok in the USA requirement is 10k followers and 100k views in last 3 months, and if somehow you get your TikTok account monetised then the RPM currently is above 3 dollars which is more than what YouTube pays per 1,000 views. TikTok has provided a better opportunity to earn money via there platform in the USA than youtube has done but Still I think the writing is on the wall and TikTok will be removed from the geographical location of USA somehow.
US residents will need a VPN in order to access the Internet in the future. China and US seem like they will change places soon.
There's a little more nuance to this though. TikTok's creator fund is a finite amount... so the more accounts that join that fund, the more diluted it gets... so creators are getting less today than they were getting 6 months ago and will get less in 6 months from now (if new accounts keep joining the creator program) whereas YouTube pays a percentage of the advertising revenue it makes per video, regardless of what its paying to other creators.
Sorry for providing misinformation tiktok program I was referring to is called the creator rewards program and is different from creator fund and the requirements are 100k views in last 30 days and 10k followers.
