As an aside, it's insane to me that the differentiating feature of an entirely new video hosting platform can simply be the length of the content it supports.
The world of tech companies is truly bizarre. Why doesn't Google launch dozens of Youtube variants under their own branding with their own slightly different length restrictions to just dominate the market?
- TheKarateKid 6y agoIt's more than just the length. TikTok has some pretty good and simple video editing features that make it very easy to quickly produce decent quality content on your phone. The music integration was the biggest example of this, and probably why the lip-syncing/dancing videos became so popular on the platform.
