I was more against "social network" part than "youth-based" part. TikTok is a broadcast media, not a social network.

- slipheen 6y agoFair enough, I suppose it depends on how broad your categories are. Personally, I absolutely consider YouTube a video-based social network. You follow people/brands, have at timeline, can contribute comments on what they post, etc. It doesn't tend to have as broad a social graph as something like FB, but almost nothing does. Twitter (for example) also has a large number of popular public accounts, similar to YouTube.
- sanxiyn 6y agoFacebook and Twitter mostly do not subsidize content creation, but YouTube and TikTok definitely do. That's why I think TikTok will have more staying power.
