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?
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…😤
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 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.
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 …
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.
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 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.
