Heh. This sounds like a business person that doesn't understand their competition, so they self-righteously trashed them as a way of avoiding the question. I mean, I sure as hell don't know the reason for TikTok's success, but I'm not the CEO of reddit. TikTok has a billion+ users, despite it's crappy reputation as surveillance-ware, so there must be something to learn from them.

> I sure as hell don't know the reason for TikTok's success I do. Simple service that came up with a massive user base to keep it propped up and focused around funny, cute, or stupid Vine replacement clips, then US kids flocked to it. Annoyingly; my favorite tiktok and comment about it were found on Reddit When I went to college to study TV and stuff, nobody, and I mean nobody, had any inkling that this was the future of entertainment. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/f3syl1/duck_throws_it_back/ https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/f3syl1/duck_throws_i...

Apropos competitors: Does anybody know reddit's stance on pinterest? Pinterest has become valuable with more or less the idea of 'reddit for pictures'. Why has reddit not made a move into pictures by themselves, apart from starting a picture hosting service?

I think it simply succeeded because of the void left by Vine's shutdown and because it doesn't belong to Facebook like Instagram.
