TikTok was only able to compete so quickly because it's literally sponsored and funded by the CCP.


That's like saying every SV tech company is funded by the CIA.

Oh wait..


As if the others aren't government supported and coddled monopolies.


TikTok is better product than Youtube shorts or Instagram reels, money have nothing to do with it, especially while FAANG have more money than ByteDance.


You forget, that YT shorts appeared after TT emergence. It was a try from Google to get some part of TT success.

To be honest, I didn't use TT. Ecept when someone gives me direct link. But I am using YTshorts, coz I am already at youtube watching long vids.

Pretty addictive this shorts are.

I hate TT for trying to force me into registering.

Also I hate TT for baning porn and even erotic couple tears ago.
