Wow, I'd never heard this. What French product?

  The french product was called Mindie, the start of endless short videos with music, the reels, and the copycat was chinese musical.ly (later bought up by Bytedance). Mindie failed because they got attacked by copyright claims by the big US tech, which obviously the chinese copycat was immune to, since China.

    Interesting. I wonder if any of the Musical.ly creators ever saw Mindie. https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/16/from-a-failing-product-to-a-successful-video-sharing-app-mindie-raises-1-2-million/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/16/from-a-failing-product-to-...

    This sounds like revisionist history.
