For most web content I use https://freedom.to to allocate narrow time bands during the day when I have access to HN, Twitter, Reddit, etc. I look at this as enforced mindfulness of how much non-productive (or marginally productive) time I spend. I think that I may reinstall TikTok and control access with freedom.to.
There is a lot of fun stuff on the web and for myself, I just need a Buddhist middle path of enjoying this content, but not too much.
Anyway, I respect TikTok’s success and I like seeing competitors to FB, Twitter, Google, etc.
On a different note, did tiktok not click for anyone else? I'm seemingly the target audience, but the content served just didn't work for me. Most of it was uninteresting and even after consistently swiping away the content that I disliked the praised algorithm kept showing more of the same.
If they can try and try in your soil one bay have a few stick.
They just have to sure that yours can go to theirs and if any in, ensured you pay and help them to eclipse you later.
They always win. If that is the game you will lose.
Google, Facebook, Twitter … none of a chance.
Not on mobile.
