If you're comparing it to reddit or imgur I'd argue you probably don't use social media enough for the differences to matter tbh. It's optimized for a different kind of content and browsing experience after all. It's much more similar to youtube but with shorter video lengths and a much more effective recommendation algorithm.

- sjha35u 4y agoYour scale seems designed according to a philosophy that penalizes user experiences tailored towards fast consumption and prioritizing video content. Speaking as someone with a younger half-sibling in middle school, I would argue that one of the strongest social skills you could have is a strong awareness of YouTube/Tiktok culture. I realize not everyone uses the comments in YouTube/TikTok but if you acknowledge their crossover effects in spaces like Discord then I don't see how you can argue with a straight face that Reddit/Imgur are superior to either YouTube or TikTok. At best, I could see an argument that they prioritize different types of media and user experiences which would be true.
- antifa 4y agoI didn't say they had better algorithms, just that they were better examples of social networks, emphasis on the word social.
