Learn Neptune, Tiktok alternative where creators can hide likes and accuse the followers
Neptune It is one of the latest short video apps on the block that seeks to compete with the main players such as Tiktok, Instagram Beends and YouTube Shorts.
The application, currently in the experimental version, has attracted attention from hundreds of thousands of users, with 970 tests and 400,000 people in the waiting list, according to the company.
Neptune announced on Monday that it is preparing to launch the application on the application store next week, with plans to launch the Google Play store in about six months.
The startup company was established by Ashley Darling, which has a background as a talent director at Optyx, where it worked with the influencers who were “underestimated.” I began developing a platform that confirms creativity instead of the number of followers owned by the creator.
“I spent years working with independent creators, both as an influencer and the brands later,” Darling participated with Techcrunch. “I kept hearing the same thing from creators and users,” I miss when social media was enjoyable. When it was about creativity, not competition. ”So, instead of waiting for a listening platform, I built one.”
As the future of Tiktok continues, NepTune hopes to attract creators looking for an alternative way to earn revenue while enhancing an environment that gives priority to the quality of videos and communications instead of the number of followers. The application plans to provide various revenue flows, including tips, live broadcasts and subscriptions.
Like its competitors, the Neptune features a vertical detection and nutrition tool for users to pass through short videos and sharing through the comments. In addition, users can add a cover image to their personal files, imitate what X and other network applications.
Neptune’s main distinction feature is that it allows creators to hide and admire their total followers. However, the “Move Metrics” feature is optional, which is designed to help users avoid pressure associated with the number of followers, however still meets the needs of creators who may want to display their standards.
According to the company, Neptune’s algorithm emphasizes the user’s interests and content quality instead of the creator’s popularity. Social media algorithms usually give the content priorities with the highest participation, and often leaving the least well -known creators, or “accurate influences”, in a non -favorable position.
“We have put strength in the hand [the creators] Which already built the Internet. Not companies, not algorithms. “Neptune for communication, not influence,” said Tugberk, the chief marketing official.
Another prominent feature is “Hop Back”, which allows users to resume watching a direct video clip where they stopped, and prevent them from losing their place when updating the application.
Neptune in Beta and does not offer all its intended features so far. It is currently on the simple side, just providing video feeding and search function. When testing the application, we also noticed that it lacks editing tools within the application and direct messages.
The company says it works to add the ability to live, the ability to create playlists and music integration.
