Chris Daniels of Poland has been an influencer on TikTok for more than five years. And with more than a million followers, you could say TikTok has been part of him.

"I've been blessed to be financially stable and independent since I was 16," said Daniels. "I never thought that was realistic, you know? I've met a lot of people, I've traveled a lot of places I never thought I'd ever be able to travel to."

But for Daniels and thousands of others, those days appear to be numbered.
Friday, the US Supreme Court signaled a move toward upholding a ban on TikTok in the US come January 19.

"I don't know how I feel about it yet, I guess I'm not really gonna know until it's gone probably," Daniels said. 

Daniels has made most of his income from TikTok, so a ban would hurt.
But he says it would hurt others much worse.

"There's a lot of small business owners and people like that who rely on TikTok Shop for...their small business and their marketing and promotions and stuff like that, so it's kind of those people that I feel for the most."

Daniels says they'll have no choice but to reinvent themselves.
He's taking his own advice - expanding his reach on other apps and platforms.

"Instagram, YouTube...Twitch, I play video games and stream on Twitch pretty much every day," said Daniels. "That is one of the things I'd like to move over to is streaming."

A move that will likely shape the future for Daniels and thousands like him.
