ok1computerIt‘s 100% better to be addicted to open-source video-scrolling platform where you really owns your feed, then on Tiktol, YT shorts, Reels etc, but I still prefer not being addicted to any of these.
Daniel Cooper@loops Bending reality like you're a thirsty capitalist start-up.
Just infuriating.

@SteanSlh @loops that's why it's infuriating. Why do Loops (and Dansup in general) needs to market the app like it's an outsider startup that needs to bend reality because it's not that different ?
like, take the "aspect ratio" row, in the infographic.
why has every app a different answer whereas, in fact, they are the same : apps made for mobile phones, in portrait. But, eventually, you can use any aspect ratio you want.
@Steel_Virgin @loops People who are new to Loops are asking themselves whether their "aspect ratio" will work just as well. Video length, adverts and tracking, network type and algorithms make a significant difference compared to other platforms. You have to decide for yourself whether you want to be a product for trading your data and whether you want to be tracked by capitalist and politically motivated algorithms in exchange for some cookies. It’s your decision.
@SteanSlh @loops I hear you, and I 100% agree. But it could have been said otherwise than by bending reality.
You seem to think that I think loops isn't a good thing. I'm glad it exists. I don't use it yet, even if I have an account already.
But I'm really glad it's there.
My only problem is how Dansup markets its apps the same way capitalists app would. It's unnecessary and, in my opinion, it's bad for the reputations of those apps. It just feels suspicious.

Don’t take it personally; that was just my general opinion. Perhaps you have a good idea for supporting the development and distribution of loops. That would certainly be helpful, as it’s still a very small platform that could use some growing.
