This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

That's cool, still not gonna consume short form media. Idk why people with the desire to have healthy online habits would appreciate this new product. It'll be slopped with politics and AI in no time like Lemmy is already suffering from.

I can't stand shorts, tick-tock, or any of those videos. The videos I watch are usually comprehensive, longer than 10 mins, and I pause, rewind, slow down ect the video.

Short form is cool because it's like constrained writing.

Tiktok was pretty great while it was just silly videos.\ But it's not short form anymore so it's full of political essays and propaganda.

I kinda hope that loops is more like vine than tiktok or vertical YouTube. But it'll probably be up to the instance to govern video length.
