Yeah I think paying the creators generously and allowing them to make a good living is how tiktok got off the ground so fast.
I really love the vine 6 sec sketch format but I only ever watches compilations on youtube. It's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you'll get, but eat enough of them... :D PS: Man this makes me nostalgic about those ancient times when everything wasn't going to shit yet
Sorry, that art style gives me the heebie-jeebies
Ghostery works too for me
Not sure what you mean, of course WhatsApp can disable it's own encryption. That would be an argument for open source third party apps and interoperability.

That is one of the flaw in the hobbit movie imho, in the book they tease the dwarves and sing silly songs and are generally very lighthearted. In the movie they are almost dour in comparison to the dwarves. But the hobbit was much more of a childrens book that the lord of the rings.
It would be nice to have a "patreon" like monthy support and then an open accounting - so we know the money is split to development, instance server hosting costs and maybe admin wages. Or maybe can vote on it. I think fediverse is only the first step, we're going to need some kind of global non profit funded by users to create federated software and content for users.
I mean "federate" with whatsapp. Apparently there is a bridge https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow
