Netflix is experimenting with a “TikTok-like” feed full of funny videos. Social apps aren’t the only industry trying to copy TikTok—now streaming services are. Netflix integrated a “Stories”-like feature into their Previews two years ago, but now they’re launching a fullscreen vertical video feed, a concept made popular by TikTok. The streamer is testing “Fast Laughs,” a feed of short-form comedy clips taken from their original and licensed content and snippets from their social channel “Netflix Is A Joke,” which runs longer videos and content across YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The feed lives within the Netflix app, but unlike TikTok the goal isn’t to suck users into a never ending feed of short videos, but help them discover a new show to watch. (TechCrunch)
