It's not about a winner. This isn't CNN, there's no reason, (if you know better) to use the vibe coded sketchy software like he said. We're better than this. Do you really think popular = automatically better?

> It's not about a winner.

And it is not about being first here. ZuckOff is just a better packaged app, that's why it took off.

If it gets the point effectively across better than the original.

Yes.

It is more supported than something that is OSS that will die in under a year.

There are features that ZuckOff has that are more useful than the suggested one IMO.

For a vibecoded app, it is well packaged with a great name.

That is how you get people to use your app.

popular != better but better == popular

If you see something that is popular but you think it is worse, then your better/worse axis is not aligned with the majority.

For example, X is better than Mastodon because you don't have to pick a server to use.
