Some irony there. Tik Tok wants to be more like Youtube with its long form content. Youtube wants to be more like Tik Tok with its shorts content.
Neither seems to be winning the opposing battle.
Well youtube has both.
And I hope the long form videos take some sort video cues and don't have 3 minute long rambling intros anymore. The one nice things about shorts is they get to the point.
Short-form videos are basically a form of cancer that keeps you alive with shots of dopamine every 15-30 seconds. I avoid those things like the plague.
Brevity is the soul of wit
Vine understood that. TikTok doesn’t and YouTube shorts is a glitchy mess. I use an extension to hide them because of it.
