TikTok isn't about the videos, it's about the recommendations.
That won't be possible without centralization, monetization and data mining. Loops will fail — if you judge by usage, that is.
The goal posts will move to whatever was achieved, I guess.
From "competition" to "for Fediverse users" to "offering an alternative" to "showing it's technically feasible" to "it's good people don't use it, because it wasn't meant to be addictive anyway."
- viraptor 2y agoWhy wouldn't it be possible without centralisation and monetization? You need some style of data mining, but it can be "ingest list of summaries with attributes and decide at instance/device level what to serve". The monetization may be useful to incentivise creation, but not for the service to exist in general.
