Mhmm. Still waiting for lossless…..
every platform becomes TikTok at the end.
Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn't matter. Remember memes like "Microsoft Office will now have Stories"?
My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.
my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos with emulate pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage "engagements"
It'll be more popular than Twitter in a week. Not that it's hard...
That's absolutely insane that there's 3B+ people on Facebook. I honestly don't believe that number is accurate at all.
Am I underestimating how many people have phones/internet access at this point?
Everyone. Damn near everyone has a phone at this point, Facebook even handed them out to keep the user numbers growing at one point
People who live in dirt floor huts walk to churches or other gathering places to charge them. The cheapest smart phones are essentially worthless, so there's no point stealing or selling them.
And cell service isn't all that expensive to run, so it's priced to what people will pay
