Floptok

FlopTok is an app created by ByteFlop. FlopTok specializes in vertical video content under a minute long created by users. FlopTok has long been criticized for how much the owner Flopikuz Zaniwicha disrespected the creators, allegedly even having said that the videos there were "merely products to be consumed".

== History ==
The app was created in 2017 in Flopan, and at the time had very poor moderation. This was "quickly" resolved in 2020 when someone made a FlopTok (the term for a FlopTok video) mocking Man's death.
The app was also accused of containing Flopanese spyware by Flop Dawson in 2019, but this was quickly disproven during the Floptok Source Code leak later the same year.
=== FlopTok Source Code Leak ===
Some claim the FlopTok Source Code Leak was more eventful than Big Floppa's death, which is obviously false, but it was both good and bad for ByteFlop.
It was good because they could finally say they weren't using spyware because everybody could see the source code, but it was bad because it resulted in a lot of fraudulent copies of the software being published by unaffiliated scammers.
These fraudulent copies often contained malware, which would do anything from deleting random files, to being straight up ransomware.
=== Rise and Fall ===
Floptok was created in 2017, but wasn't an immediate hit as it was a way cats of abnormal religious beliefs could communicate with eachother, so extreme Floppists tried and successfully got it banned in a large amount of countries. The platform really started to grow after these bans were lifted in 2018. The bans were nearly reapplied when in the source code leak comments mocking Big Floppa's death were found. Fortunately, these mocking comments were simply added by a mischievous programmer about to be fired, and ByteFlop says it loves Big Floppa.
The app lost popularity in 2024 when the "Floptok Gold" version was made. FlopTok Gold allowed the user to view unlimited videos each day, except this meant free users also lost on that privilege they previously had. Free users could only view 3 videos a day.
This resulted in the app being way less fun for free users, whom made up most of the app's userbase, resulting in its death.
And most insidious of all, FlopTok gold still had ads.
