I don't think TikTok "succeeded" compared to Youtube? TikTok succeeded in popularizing short-form video, but I'd argue that's a different product. YouTube is still king for longform video.
While there might be arguments for building a different product (and LLM-based search like Perplexity is trying it), there appears to be enough demand for a "good Google" that Kagi is trying to address.
If the product is long-form video then sure... but if the product is user attention? Film camera companies still make the best film cameras, but is the product film cameras or is it taking photos?
