alt Hacker NewsSort of an aside, but what's next now that Tiktok is deeply into end-stage enshittification? It'd dead now, a formerly fun app morphed into grotesque eyeball milking system owned by one of the worst people on the planet. I deleted the app this week after the feed ramped ad content up to being an ad every other video, frequently with ads back to back to back.
It's cooked.

Evaporative cooling of the best content, likely, but plenty of social networks with worse ad loads still have plenty of users.
My question is whether Ellison does to it what Elon did to X: revamp the algorithm to support his politics.
What's next is Sora and Sora-likes. The same thing but 100% created by AI. Tik Tok will probably move to that model eventually, kinda like Instagram pivoted to Stories.
