The short form content is a generally good thing. I don't have a problem with short form content. It's mainly the manipulation involved in hosting and delivering it that I have a problem with.
Right now the platforms leave classification and promotion of that content up to users. Carefully though out communities based on specific niche and local content would do far better, provided they stay committed to equality and fair presentation of that content, and to not growing too big to moderate.
A smaller community of TikTok dedicated to only hosting music videos (for example), Or a community dedicated to books on tape and interviews of authors would be far more enjoyable, more easily moderated, and effective than a platform for simply everything like TikTok etc... in my opinion.

So something like Discord's channels, Reddit's subreddits or Twitch's categories?
- winternett 4y agoDiscord is a walled garden. You have to be a member to see content and posts. Reddit often heavily moderates and even bans user accounts for wild reasons, even after years of putting work in to build subreddits. Newer (and smaller) community ideas are long overdue. The big sites do not currently serve local communities and creators as well as small communities (without log-in walls) can.
