What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2016

A Chinese short-video app, used in mainland China where TikTok is not available, though the two run as separate platforms.

ByteDance launched it in September 2016 as A.me and renamed it Douyin that December. TikTok, the version for the rest of the world, followed in September 2017.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
