Even with multiple other options for finding large audiences, creators are worried about trying to rebuild their business and whether enough followers will migrate with them.

"Whatever is going to happen is going to happen, and we're just going to make the most of it," said Nealie Boschma, 27 of Los Angeles, who has been living as a full-time creator since 2022. "That's just how I have to look at it, so I don't panic."

Despite the potential upheaval, Boschma, said she views the potential ban as an opportunity to expand her career and get more creative.

Boschma started making TikTok videos after quitting her job working on a horse farm, choosing to live off of her savings while experimenting as a creator. Boschma's bet on herself worked and she's earned enough to live in Los Angeles, paying for her own place and a car.
