I don't know if you have heard, but Loops.video is a Reels/Tiktok like app from the creator of Pixelfed. I recall it being announced, and checked just now on a whim. All of a sudden, it appears pretty close to ready to launch!

isn't it mostly because of their overly addictive recommendation algorithms? taking away infinite scrolling would also help a lot to make it more healthy.

I know people, 40+ in age, who just want to see some fun videos in their work breaks, when nobody's around to talk with

People were able to watch funny videos long before tiktok. Tiktok is cancer.
