The Europeans invented the car and Ford mass produced it.

Yet, we see Ford as extremely innovative and revolutionary. I think we can draw lots of parallels between a 19th and early 20th century industrializing US and current China.

You may disparage TikTok as a Vine clone, but it redefined the state of the art for recsys algorithms. Google and Meta had to play catch-up with how quickly and how good TikTok is at discovering videos users find interesting out of the ocean of available content.

Most of Meta's engagement comes from video content. Continuous engagement is how it is able to generate its revenue.

Thats all I need to say!
