It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.
Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?
The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.
You’ve got a financial incentive to have someone watch 30 seconds of video - so ofc you use all the skeeziest shit straight out of the chum bucket days of the early internet.
It’s not about attention span: it’s about manipulation and money.
Not only that but this meme is not about TikTok - they don’t have votes, especially not a downvote. This is almost certainly about Reddit: the only major social media site that has downvoting.
Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!
