Thanks! Yeah, I saw this and thought it's a bit disingenuous to push Loops as a "privacy" forward option when it's all the same as any other social media TOS.

In my circle, I haven't seen anyone use local social media apps
That's a bit sad, I was hoping to hear the Indian apps having traction.
I just read it on their website and it looks pretty standard. What's so shite about it?
My GOAT Moon Jae In could never. Only Korean president to never be: overthrown in a military coup, assassinated, thrown in prison, executed, investigated for corruption, or commit suicide.
This reminded me of the "All or Nothing" drama from Tumblr, holy shit. IYKYK
No problem! A lot of commenters on Fedi/Reddit seem like they don't have a lot of experience with Tiktok compared to Meta or Google platforms, so I'm always happy to speak on my experience with it.
I was rewatching the Pathologic video lol
Apparently some Israeli-Americans went on Red Note to specifically asked Chinese people what they thought of Israel, and users basically said they were "Devil's on this earth for killing babies" which like...damn. Even through the Great Firewall they aren't beating the allegations.
So I'm sure the Israeli lobby will get that banned next, we shouldn't worry.
For normal Tiktok creators, I'm not sure. But from what I remember, our TikTok revenue (combined creator fund payout + donations) outperformed every other source of revenue on a month-to-month basis EXCEPT the large local fundraising drives (which we only had quarterly).
The secret hack to the internet has always been animal content, lol. Animal videos performed very well, especially if you got into the creator fund. Youtube shorts only performed well for us when we had long form content the short could lead into. Before then we had 0 visibility on the YT algo.
Finally, Tiktok has better integration different payment methods through fundraising platforms (GoFundMe, Kickstarter, etc) than Youtube (or any Meta app tbh), or at least from what I understood from our accountants (I never bought anything off of Tiktok).
Again, this is only from my experience, and some other small animal rescues that we worked with. That's why I express sympathy for these organizations. I don't really care what happens to the drop shipping influencers or whatever.
And there are already so many conspiracy theories on there about why the shutdown even happened ๐คฎ
