Will MomTok Survive If TikTok Doesn’t?

Fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” have wondered if MomTok can survive a variety of issues in the past. But now a big issue is threatening to really ask that question and fans want to know if MomTok can survive if TikTok doesn’t.

With the possibility of the popular social media app being banned in the United States in the near future, many content creators are focusing on other platforms or looking into new options to continue to entertain their fanbase. Starting out on TikTok way before the reality show hit Hulu, the MomTok moms have shared a little about how they feel about the app possibly going dark.

“Will MomTok survive the end of time Tok?!” one fan asked reality star Mayci Neeley in the comments of her recent video talking about the TikTok ban.

“So it looks like I’m gonna be out of a job soon,” Neeley started off her video. “I’m just kidding. I’m not actually worried about that. However, I am really sad that TikTok might be shutting down in a week, which has me thinking that this is the perfect time to post all my drafts.”

She then said that she’s heard a lot of people say they won’t be moving over to Instagram if the TikTok ban actually happens. She said she’s still using Instagram as well as YouTube.

“If TikTok really is going away, like for real, for real, I’ll be so sad,” she continued. “Also have a couple huge announcements and exciting things going on that I can’t wait to share. A little disappointed about that because we all know that like reels is not the same.”

One viewer shared, “Following you on YouTube!! I’m can’t lose my MomTok content!” Another person said, “Well, I’ll go to Insta to find ya.”

Another one of the MomTok moms, Layla Taylor, shared a playful video on TikTok a few days ago to address the possible ban.

“Now that TikTok is getting banned and I have to go scare my IG followers with my TikTok personality,” is written on the video. Many of her followers could relate and shared their thoughts in the comment section.

“People on IG are not the same as TikTok,” one person wrote. Another added, “MOMTOK WON’T SURVIVE THIS.” And one other viewer said, “Not prepared for this switch.”

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Jessi Ngatikaura also shared her thoughts and questions on the possible ban in a TikTok video a few days ago.

“I’m gonna need someone to tell me what we’re doing when TikTok shuts down. I’ve seen everyone being like, ‘No, we’re not going to Instagram, we’re boycotting that. We’re going to RedNote.’ I need to understand because I am the kind of influencer that always posts on both Instagram and TikTok,” she said. “And I feel like I’ve seen a lot of hate about Instagram specifically and how no one wants to go there because it’s out.”

She then said she needs someone to explain to her why people don’t want to just move over to Instagram and do reels.

“And also, if we’re not doing that,” she continued. “Where the heck are we going?”

One viewer explained the reasoning behind not moving over to IG, “Meta lobbied HEAVILY for the TikTok ban, hence why people are moving away from Meta. Lots of influencers I’ve seen are going to YouTube/YouTube shorts because the Instagram vibes just aren’t as good.”

Another viewer added, “YouTube & RedNote. The owner of RedNote said he’s quickly working on all the English so we can use it like TikTok!”

Fellow MomTok mom, Mikayla Matthews also shared a video addressing the TikTok ban talk.

“When the TikTok ban is actually happening, but we literally made MomTok our whole personality and have a show about us being in MomTok,” is written over the video of Matthews and Neeley.

One viewer shared what everyone’s wondering, “Can MomTok survive this?!” Another added, “I don’t know how MomTok is going to survive this.”

Another viewer shared a suggestion, “Just turn MomTok into MomNote and go to RedNote.”

While Taylor Frankie Paul, the leader of MomTok, hasn’t shared any videos talking about the looming TikTok ban, she did recently share an Instagram Story with a little bit of humor.

“Me if TikTok goes away. Interviewer: So tell me about yourself. Me: I’d rather not I kinda need this job.”

The MomTok crew is currently filming season 2 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” which will be released on Hulu at some point during the spring. Season 1 is streaming on Hulu and will make its broadcast debut on ABC on January 27, as part of ABC’s Winter Programming Line-Up.
