What metric, what sample size, directly links Alphabet's results to the 'realization' of TikTok's initiative? Asserting that the figures of a competitor make a strategic decision more tangible requires a threshold of observable correlation. Without quantifiable data showing how external success directly translates into the feasibility of an internal event, such as production costs or guaranteed audience, the assertion is speculative, not based on factual analysis. For example, if US regulatory restrictions on TikTok data intensify, Alphabet's money would not make the holding of a star-studded parade in Hollywood more 'concrete'.
