If we knew how there would be much more nostr users

Thank you!

Yesterday was the most magical day of my life.

I’m not stopping anyone from doing anything, why are you guys so thin skinned and with such a victim complex. Are my words really that powerful?

It got you triggered enough that you keep stalking me and responding to my every comment. As soon as I go on vacation and start commenting, there you are in my replies telling me how you don’t care about me.

I’m going to blow your mind tomorrow

Look I love what you are doing and fully support you doing so, I was just giving my opinion on why TikTok style app would be a fools errand, especially on Nostr. Like I explained in my comment, TikTok styled apps can’t meaningfully function without extensive user tracking and lots of video content tailored to the app. It’s not like YouTube where users browse and search for content, it’s a completely different concept that is insanely hard to emulate successfully. I have worked on several TikTok clones, including at reddit, so I am intimately familiar with the main problems.

Don’t take it personal, I just love insulting people over the internet

Truth hurts, that’s why you got triggered by my comment

Making a TikTok clone is a fool’s errand, even big companies like Reddit have utterly failed at it, despite having millions of users and large development teams. I actually worked on Reddit’s TikTok clone for a short period of time, and the biggest problem that Reddit couldn’t solve was that you need extreme amounts of content and advanced user analytics so that the app is able to serve the right content to the right audience. TikTok’s UI is extremely simple, you just swipe up to play the next video, so if you don’t have a big base of good content the feed will be boring and if you don’t analyze user data extensively the feeds will not be personalized enough for each user. Nostr especially isn’t suited for this type of content, as people on it are generally privacy conscious and don’t want to be tracked, but without tracking the entire concept of the app doesn’t make sense. And I’m not even getting into TikTok’s custom video player that only YouTube managed to parry, Instagram reels player is much worse despite billions in funding and years of development.

Congrats 🍾

That is 100% one of the key features for TikTok success, but it is also the feature which would be easiest to copy or even surpass TikTok in. There are video editing apps that offer features that TikTok doesn’t have.

When you press config on the stream you will see this option to mute just users live streams

As Marshal McLuhan said “the medium is the message”. TikTok as the medium is not only delivering content, it’s also shaping it. But my point was more technical, TikTok-like video feed doesn’t make sense without unimaginable amounts of content, that can then be tailored to each user with really advanced tracking algorithms. Without those two things, it’s going to be boring. When you first install TikTok it actually sucks because it doesn’t yet know what videos you want, only after it learns what you like does it become good. It’s not like YouTube or Netflix, the UI is too constrained to function without those two things.

I never claimed to be some Nostr expert, I’m a professional mobile apps developer, iOS specifically. And even there I don’t claim to have any secret knowledge, but I certainly know more about it than 99% of you jobless losers. And you are not special, I just love arguing with losers online, it’s like my hobby.

I’m not even saying anything particularly negative, you just get depressed as soon as you see me. Sorry for mogging you so hard, it was never my intention.
