Amazon has made a surprise last-minute bid
to buy TikTok, days before a Saturday deadline for the app to separate from its
Chinese owner or be banned in the United States, The New York Times reported
citing three unnamed sources.
Loops…kind of sucks. I get the point of it, but I tried using it like 15 minutes a day for a couple weeks to get used to it, but the features are lacking and the content is…well it’s filled with people who would abandon tiktok and other apps, so, it’s kind of boring.
Not in a ‘there’s no brainrot’ way, in a ‘this is the third video in a row of just random AI slop and then it’s just some dude filming a tree for 20 seconds’.
Bootstrapping is definitely going to be an issue. There was news they are supposed to have federation working and released tomorrow. Right now there’s not even a client in the play store so I haven’t bothered with it.
People bitch about the algorithm but it’s actually pretty nice having things you’re more likely to enjoy come to you than having to try and hunt them down with nothing but a very poor search function.
I want it to recommend me shit I would probably enjoy; I just don’t want it to recommend me shit in an attempt to brainwash me with their agenda. Barring that, get a better search function. Utilize tags and categories. Allow users to tag others’ videos because you can’t expect the uploader to think of every possible connection it could have.
I want to like Loops, but it’s 90% random nature shots that don’t need to be videos and finding anything else is a PITA.
Don’t fumble this loops. Now is the moment.
