It’s good to see clips from Loops as the Fediverse is trying to get their competitor to TikTok and whatever the other competitors from Facebook and YouTube are called. Loops can be a good thing but it’s still very nascent, so I appreciate OP making posts for Loops content to try to inform others and spread awareness. But I’d rather see an occasional cat video or something, as on Lemmy I prefer reading over watching stuff. I’m not the target audience for short form videos.
The short clip summarises the About page of GOG. https://www.gog.com/about_gog
Cool to spread awareness for people that are on those platforms and enjoy swiping through short videos. But here? Nah we’re okay. Plus I speculate the majority on Lemmy knows the value of GOG compared to more public places like Reddit.
A reminder that Loops has a TOS that effectively grants them an unlimited license to use your likeness for whatever purpose they desire. Including AI generation. https://loops.video/legal/terms-of-service#7
Might be worth flagging that to @dansup@mastodon.social. The FAQ page states unambiguously that Loops won't do that:

Might just be ill-advised copy/paste of legalese. If he's asked about it and defends the TOS with that in it, then I'd start to worry
wow, now im verry happy that the webpage is a broken mess abd unable to upload Videos. Looks like im setting up WordPress with ActivityPub and host my stuff myself
Oof I never read that. Well that’s disappointing.
It is.....I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain't very cash money.
Seriously, wtf is that terms and conditions. Good find and good share.
Super upsetting.
Any speculation on why that's in there?
Good points, still getting the hang of what communities are into the loops content format. And yeah, just trying to spread awareness of Loops to people that like the format, since it'll help the Fediverse grow.
