India did this and Instagram reels is the main one that benefited. Probably be the same for US if it pulls through on this.
Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US

US should call their bluff. If Tiktok gets named, people will complain for a little bit until people forget and move on to what’s next. Why doesn’t an American company make something that’s practically identical? People will be all desperate for their 5 second dopamine rush that they will download anything.

YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already

They can’t, the algorithm is the best part about tiktok and none of the competitors come close.

That’s interesting, what’s so clever or original about its algorithm?
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If I remember correctly from my rabbit hole, it tracks your viewing habits by a far wider list of variables and on a micromanaged scale. It can be annoying if you have someone sending you content you don’t like because viewing them will slot them into your feed immediately, but it’s just as quick to discard those things. I found it very easy to train for my interests in cooking, goblincore, and irrational humor.

Meanwhile, YT Shorts sees me watch one video then gives me nothing but that.

If you have to ask that question you definitely don’t use Tiktok it’s far far superior algorithmically than Reels and YT Shorts which are both absolute garbage.

I think Elon might just do that based on what I’ve been reading.

As I recall, the guy who makes Pixelfed (dansup?) is also working on a vine clone called loops. It looks like the site is https://loops.video/ Doesn't appear to be operational yet.

i never got to experience vine (and google+)

It would be his first good instinct. But bringing back the domain is t going to bring back the magic. Vine is dead and nothing Musked is going to be any fun.
