Hmm it's not the same. The scrolling part and an adaptive algorithm are key.
It should look almost exactly like TikTok. Just with different incentives and content sources.

That’s what I was wondering.
It would need to be a feed of embedded videos, rather than post titles.
An algorithm like ours could be applied to something like that, but I don’t know if it would create a good product.

Well you could preset random posts from territories and measure how long people linger on them or if they click / share / zap and use that as the inputs. I think I saw they open sourced the tik to algorithm

I think the idea was that you could potentially replace those attention/addiction metrics with something like our zapping system. It seems plausible.

ah yeah that makes sense perhaps then it would be showing you things from territories you often zap from or something and same with downzap. I think you probably still want some of the attention metrics. I was trying to think of what you would be optimizing for. Is it trying to get you to zap more overall or the value of the zap? or is it trying to maximize the zaps posts get? Those would lead to very different types of behaviors it optimizes for
