If TikTok disappears, I will miss the algorithm.TikTok gives me the right amounts of all of the things I’m interested in. I don’t have the same experience elsewhere. Do you?
Too addicting, I try to stay away.
The only good shorts I’ve seen are from NileRed and Vsauce.
I hate shorts and never used TikTok. I resisted on YouTube for so long, but they just worse what you see and you’ll click them eventually.
I’ve noticed I’m scrolling them more and more and I don’t like that they’re able to do this to our brains. Particularly those of us with things like ADHD.
YouTube Shorts are ok, but YouTube knows what I like.
The shorts format died for me the day Vine went down
Never been into that format regardless of the website/app/service
Good for you, it makes one attention span short as a little kid, … I hate it when my friends get their phone out while we’re outside and start doom scrolling ( switching ) shorts on YT/Tiktok… whatever…
At first I was patient about it, but now as soon as they switch to the second short I tell them to hide their phones, it’s so @#&@% rude…😤
They can eat my shorts.
I would like to avoid shorts entirely. If I never have to hear that ear grating robot voice ever again I will celebrate like you wouldn’t believe. Also, hearing everything 2 times because a video is designed to loop unnoticed is causing my blood to boil with unmatched hatred. Also, stop up-talking every time you speak you brainless degenerates. >:-( (not any of you here on Lemmy, ya’ll are cool)
If this stuff could stop polluting our ears and our eyes, I would love that.
Having said that, I think they’re banning it because of all the people talking shit about them on there. I can’t imagine an American politician doing a good thing for good reasons.
Consequently, I find myself in the position of being a pro-TikTok TikTok hater.
Right there with you; I despise the app but am against banning it.
It should tell you a lot about what the app is actually for if bytedance is going to completely remove it from the market rather than sell it off to allow it to keep running …
I hate it because I watch it but don’t enjoy it at all. It just wastes my time. It’s addictive but not in the good way like a video game that draws you in, but in the “help I can’t control myself” kind of way. FUCK THE ALGORITHM
Nope. I don’t like the format.
A 30 seconds video is like repeating the same mistakes that turned Twitter (yes, even before Elon Musk) to what it is today: a place that there’s no shade of gray, no nuance and everything is outrageous. A Short has no time to elaborate on anything and can simplify the subject so much that it becomes just misinformation.
Also I don’t believe it’s worth for creators in the long run. I’m not a creator myself but I believe that the time-effort to create a video is not linear with its duration. They can make a short so elaborated and viral that it would be more worth to create a full video in regards of sponsorship, ad revenue and subscription retention.
They should take down their shorts.
I prefer video to not be filmed in portrait, so no, I don’t find any platform with them appealing.
I don’t use TikTok but would say no, their algorithm is poor at predicting what I like. But I have little interest in short videos like that. Most things worth saying take some time to explain.
I don’t have social media but I can’t get rid of YT coz I use it for work sometimes. Shorts are good if I want to see something practical like a crochet tutorial with all the chat before.
I’ve heard YouTubers say they aren’t making as much from their regular videos and that YouTube is pushing shorts. So the Youtubers have started to focus on shorts. I don’t like short so I don’t watch them.
I dont use any of them
