dansupTikTok, Reels, and Shorts aren't entertainment platforms. They're data extraction machines with a video player bolted on.
Loops is different: open source, federated, accountable to creators instead of advertisers.
J$@dansup The SO, who (in their words) find “inspiration” in the feeds they ged fed by the techbro abuse machinery has dipped toes in Pixelfed, Masto, Loops and perceived the absence of the manipilation engine made the platform … boring.
That conditioning is real and I do not know how to repair the broken minds once trained and deskillled that way. Which includes the vast majority of at people wherever big tech has run rampant.
@js Loops has solved this with the For You feed, a proper and transparent way to experience relevant content.
