This chapter explores how social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok are emulating features from each other, with a focus on the potential development of a photo-focused feature by TikTok. The discussion also includes the political landscape surrounding TikTok in the US and the consideration of its acquisition by a US-based company. Additionally, the conversation touches on user experiences with pausing videos on different platforms and Spotify's move to offer music videos for premium users.
This week, Marques, Andrew, and David talk about all of the news of the week and a few from last week as well. They go over everything from not being able to resell Tesla Cybertrucks to Nikon buying RED cameras. Plus, they talk about Spotify adding music videos to its app and TikTok potentially making an Instagram competitor. Of course, we wrap it all up with some fun trivia. Enjoy!
