Creatix / October 22, 2025 In a few short years, a Chinese-owned media company—ByteDance—has come to command the most powerful attention engine on the planet. Through its flagship app, TikTok, Beijing-based ByteDance doesn’t just entertain billions—it programs what they see, hum, mimic, and believe.

Losses mounted, and in January 2002 MLS contracted—shutting down the Tampa Bay Mutiny and Miami Fusion to stabilize finances. It was a hard call, but a turning point, signaling that survival (and stricter economics) came first. ( Wikipedia ) The stadium revolution What really changed MLS’s trajectory was control of the matchday. Columbus opened the first MLS soccer-specific venue in 1999, proving the model and inspiring a wave of purpose-built stadiums that improved fan experi...
