Itâs literally designed to manipulate brains and harm childrenâs ability to develop.

thatâs literally every social media and youtube especially.
its all pretty bad.
the tiktok algorithm is designed to do that, and Iâm sure their app is designed to mine data and god knows what else.
but the core of it, short form video, is what I am talking about. I think short form video built on freedom tech like nostr and bitcoin would be great.
i agree.
Short form video doesnât work if not inside a manipulative application. Vine died because it wasnât properly manipulating its users. The app literally gives you the tools needed to create the content that is appropriate for it to serve up and manipulate, and rewards those who develop more engaging methods.
You can create a short form video and post it pretty much anywhere, but it wonât work out well because it wouldnât be inside the tool that is designed to use that content for its own purposes.
The app manifests the content.
The core of it is the algorithms and design. The content is the result.
vine died because it was bought by twitter who killed it.
They tried to integrate it and failed at imagining the algorithms needed to encourage engagement.
it literally only failed because twitter bought it. vine literally had algorithms at the time. it wasnât the algoâs.
youâre saying it had no algorithm when it did! thatâs just untrue. do a search real quick
No Iâm saying it had shitty algos and the tik tok team made the good one that included editing tools to allow short form video actually succeed
