I can’t really feel bad for the Viners. I sympathize with the idea that Twitter is/was mooching off free content, but at the same time: One should never make content with the expectation of getting paid, and then post on a free website that doesn’t pay anyone.

The thing with tiktok, it’s really easy for content creators to insert links to their websites, merch, other social medias into videos so it allows them to make some money from interested users.

Whereas US-centric apps like Instagram do everything possible to prevent users from leaving the walled garden. "Link in bio" is commonplace for numerous accounts. User-hostile and completely antithetical to the idea of an interlinked web.
