Tiktok here does not force you to login for watching the videos (unless you want to like / comment / subscribe etc.. ). And also allows downloading the videos right from the app (if the creator has enabled download for the video), so I download the ones that are to be bookmarked.
This is in stark contrast to what the FB and Insta like companies do.
Since I don't login, I use multiple devices to access tiktok. And I noticed that the stream content is different on my phone (mostly used while traveling / outside home and contain news and semi serious random stuff), tab (mainly used in the bed and contain light funny contents) and computer (serious stuff - arts, tech etc..).
BTW - I am only a tiktok consumer and not creator.
- johnthescott 4y agomy smart, young hipster friends say tiktok does a phenomenal job of building tools that enhance creators and classify streaming content to consumers, neither of which fb does well. text is dead. spread the good news.
- baby 4y agoSurely Tiktok will change to do exactly this in the future, that's what they all do.
- ergocoder 4y agoI don't think they will. Tiktok is a creator platform. More audience is better. Instagram has left a huge gap by forcing everyone to login. IMO, Instagram and Twitter are using the wrong metrics which ignore non-login users. They focus on converting users to logged-in. They don't focus on delivering maximum value. For downloading, I can see that go away though.
- baby 4y agoTwitter and reddit are doing this. I imagine youtube make it a pain to look at content as well if you’re not signed in
- ergocoder 4y agoReddit and YouTube don't require logging in. When I say "not require logging in" means that there is a home feed with interesting content for non-logged in users
