    “TikTok copycat”

    You know, way way back in the pre-Elon days, they had another one. I think it was called Vine?

        high costs server side, poor quality of the videos, poor-ish internet connections, not enough powerful cell phones, etc. They were ahead of time. They achieved a decent success in the US but not much outside of it because of much of the reasons listed above.

      Yeah, and it closed because they weren’t making money on it. Turns out all you needed was a few years for server costs to go down.
