TikTok gonna change the world.
- kilroy123 6y agoI'm skeptical of this under Microsoft's control and stewardship.
- briandear 6y agoHow is TikTok any different than Vine or Meerkat or periscope or any other video/SnapFaceTwitter toy? Do people really have that short of a memory?

- keenmaster 6y agoThere's a cultural difference and a technological difference. The cultural difference is that TikTok is a more aspirational platform. It isn't just for short gags. People use TikTok hoping to get famous for their singalongs or whatever else they use the platform for. Even if they don't really believe they'll become famous, there's something thrilling about the performance to them (this enhances the voyeuristic experience for the target audience). Vine was not as performative. It was like a short format America's Funniest Home Videos. The technological difference, which may be underappreciated, is the AI/ML enabled discovery feed. TikTok learns what you like very quickly as you mindlessly scroll through infinite reels of content.
