The very first Youtube video is still up. Any serious competitor is going to need to offer that level of reliability with added benefits to woo users over.

Loops isn't competing with youtube. I doubt you would be able to find the first tiktok.

have you considered that a platform for sharing short, vertical videos, developed by a single person, perhaps isn't trying to become a "serious competitor" for Youtube?
