I'm not so convinced. Let me first say, I can't stand TikTok and find its constant stream of annoying music angering.
That out of the way, my wife and daughter love it, and I can see why. It made it easy for anyone and everyone to share clips, with a touch of social. It makes YouTube look like a slow bloated dinosaur. I just don't see people giving it up.
- bobthepanda 6y agoI mean Vine was the same concept and died due to lack of profitable monetization model. How does TikTok earn money?
- cheerlessbog 6y agoThere’s an ad when you return to the app. Since you’re expecting a full screen video to auto play, they often aren’t out of place. You can skip them immediately as well. Besides ads, one would think there’s endless ways to monetize a strong fun brand.
- bobthepanda 6y ago> one would think there’s endless ways to monetize a strong fun brand YikYak, Tumblr, and Vine come to mind, and that's just social media space. When you start free, monetizing in a way that doesn't totally destroy goodwill from your existing customers is tough.
- axaxs 6y agoI don't really see the comparison to those apps, though. None were nearly as big as musically/tiktok. I think it's unfair to even compare it to Vine, which is featureless in comparison.
- axaxs 6y agoIf you ask me, ads with the ability to pay a monthly fee to remove them is the ideal situation.
