+1 on glass. It's so purist about not having algo or becoming destroyed by influencers it's actually hard to find other photographers currently. Paid by users and no ads. I hope they work on some human-curated suggestions in the future!
(We're all adults here, yes?) If TikTok's algorithm's really so good, would someone please apply it to porn? I might actually pay money for that, and I doubt I'm alone (ha!)... Then again, despite trying TikTok a few times its never been able to capture my attention for long. Maybe I'm just hard to entertain.
I don't find myself using TikTok much, but when I do it's easy for me to slip into a black void for an hour watching videos. I found the app was able to determine a pretty reasonable algorithm for me waaaay to quickly
Instagram's biggest failing in trying to copy Tiktok is their feed algorithm. Tiktok has nailed the delightful "stumble upon" effect of getting users of all ages to keep going to the next and the next video. I don't mind how each new piece of content is paged because the content is better for the format and it doesn't feel clunky when I do want to skip to the next one. Instagram couldn't switch their algorithm becaus…
> Instagram couldn't switch their algorithm because people think they still want to see the content they've been seeing... This will differ a lot based on the user. I only use Instagram to keep tabs on activities in a few venues I frequent. I follow those and I only see what they post. Perfect. For it to show me random crap that's trending would totally break it for me. I haven't noticed this yet but I'm not even usi…

Big difference is that porn is incognito so probably a little more difficult to try matching preferences with your peers for good reasons lol I don't find myself using TikTok much, but when I do it's easy for me to slip into a black void for an hour watching videos.

>This may be the beginning of the end for what Silicon Valley calls "tech" There's something about the way you phrased this that just made me just realize there's a very real possibility that the internet could turn into television part two. If you think about the most popular platforms, they are mostly video and now the other very popular ones are trying to follow in kind. There's also all the streaming platforms th…
A text-based internet is mostly a relic of low broadband penetration. Video is more engaging than text for most people.
Articles are so much better at giving information, it's crazy to me that people bother with video.

Boggles my mind how. Unless it is an arts and crafts or mechanical or some other hands on video, it is so inefficient to watch someone talk rather than just read the transcript.

However creating text content is much cheaper than video, and I also don't see text comments replaced by video replies. Text is also easier to search both for humans (skimming) and computers. "This meeting could have been an email" also applies to entertainment.

> Tiktok has nailed the delightful "stumble upon" effect Am I the only one who hates this usage of the word "delightful"? I think of delightful as nearly a synonym to the word "serendipitous", in that there's a rare joy to it -- difference between those two words that serendipitous is unexpected while delightful could be expected. I associate this with events like running into close friends or family, or just having…

> a "web of discoverability", with meaningful, relevant links on each website curated by the site owners themselves. Are you old enough to remember "web rings?"
I kind of do that on an individual level myself - http://www.ruffandtuffrecordings.com/SELECTIONS Those are music picks I regularly update... It would be really cool if there was the ability to standardize the format for small web sites like this and then be able to follow others with similar interests... Pretty much reviving the old Myspace in essence, but with independent micro-sites for hosting curated links and o…
In the early 2000s I remember lots of blogs about music where they just posted links to mp3s because there didn't seem to be a better way to embed tracks. I appreciate people based suggestions.
