Social media is pretty different.

Social media is pretty different.
- fumar 6y agoHow is it different from a consumer perspective? As a consumer I have the ability to choose when and what media I interact with. Wouldn’t Quibi be a fun distraction at home for 10-15 minutes?
- awinter-py 6y agotiktok has infinitely more content and pays infinitely less for it tiktok has more viral hits per day than quibi generated in its whole lifetime tiktok is expert at recommendation, quibi doesn't have enough content to have a recommender quibi doesn't have anything share-driven
- eric_h 6y ago> quibi doesn't have anything share-driven and that right there is why quibi failed - the only quibi clip I've seen was taken by someone using another phone to record it and post it to twitter. By not allowing viral hits to be easily shared on any platform they shot themselves in the foot.
- awinter-py 6y agoyeah the 'no screenshots' rule was a thinker
- eric_h 6y agoThere are so many ways they could have allowed sharing of clips/photos without giving copies of all their content to other services (which I imagine was the motivation for making it effectively impossible to share anything on other networks). Seems like such an obvious miss.

- schnable 6y agoTikTok is free.
- ehsankia 6y agoI would definitely put TikTok much closer to Quibi/Youtube than to Twitter/Facebook. Maybe Instagram, but most people go to TikTok to consume media, not to conversations.
- pm90 6y agoThe vast majority of twitter/Facebook users are consumers and not conversationists. Besides, I would say tiktok has the same amount of conversations as twitter.
