The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

That is on purpose. They want you to use the app.

I would believe that if they worked on the app. But videos don't load on the app half the time either.

I know you're joking but, related: I tried opening a Webex meeting on my phone which told me to download the app. App downloaded, try to open meeting, app opens...and then opens the meeting in Firefox.

I really hate apps that could be a website (hint: most of them).

Yea, that sort of stuff is most likely deliberate... tiktok doesn't work in the browser either
