Love to watch a video that won't let me skip to specific parts in a weird aspect ratio

    YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels have made me suddenly in favor of stronger intellectual property rights; TikTok should be the only one with this function, the others can’t be trusted with it.

    Maybe stronger intellectual property rights but only for companies based in China.

      Instagram reels being full of reuploaded tiktoks doesn't surprise me, considering that at some point Facebook's bottom line depended on stolen content from youtube. Anyway I hope they don't enforce intellectual property rights because it will hurt the only IG account I really like, favetitktoks420

        In this case when I say IP rights I don’t even mean the copyright over the content on those apps, I mean a patent on the feature itself.

        No one besides tiktok should be allowed to just staple an awkward scrolling video feed onto their app.

        No one besides Snapchat should have stories (maybe IG can keep them, they’re the only other platform it actually worked for)

        Really I just want social media platforms to stop seeing other different social media platforms be successful doing a certain thing and going “We have to do that too!!!”

        Competition, it’s bad folks!
