Chinese short video app makers have taken their rivalry overseas, with TikTok facing stiff competition from a newcomer, Zynn, that has surged in popularity abroad –– by paying users to keep scrolling
This photo illustration take on June 5, 2020 shows the Apple App Store download page for the app Zynn, a new Chinese owned video platform, in Washington, DC.
Zynn's interface is a near-clone of TikTok, allowing users to view a continuous feed of short videos featuring other users dancing or performing stunts to upbeat music.Zynn, which is not available in China, rewards users in the US and Canada with cash when they invite friends to download the app –– up to $20 per invite, depending on how active the friend is on the app.
Success will depend on whether the main attraction of the app is the money up for grabs, or whether payment is "merely a secondary 'side benefit' to using Zynn", Rui Ma, a tech advisor and host of the Tech Buzz China podcast, told AFP. US officials have warned that TikTok, which has denied any ties with the Chinese government, could become another tool exploited by Chinese intelligence services.
