I dunno if they're trying to push shorter content in general, but they keep flooding my algorithm with 30 second clips and I never click on those. It's annoying. I've put to not recommend like 20 channels so far. Yet, here's 2-3 more channels with short clips in my algorithm

Things fail when they failed to generate revenue. Big leg up for Tiktok is it being based out of China. You can be damned sure the government is helping it to stay afloat, if only out of national pride.

Shorts have been around a while and they suck because you can't embed them here. A few videos on my likes got turned into shorts and it's frustrating.

If a video is less than 5 minutes long I usually feel like its not worth watching. I prefer longer videos

Depends on what I'm doing with video length. If I want to consume content that isn't very interesting, but is relatively engaging (pet videos, people being stupid, small comedy bits), I prefer short form. Long-form/essay type content is better for stuff that can't be distilled into 3-5 minute lengths, and I usually put that on in the background while I'm doing something else.

Plus youtube forces you to watch an ad, sometimes unskippable, every 2-3 videos. Sometimes Tiktok only does it one time when you first open the app and there are ads once in a while when you going through videos on tiktok but it's skippable. I never seen an ad on tiktok for more than 1 second because I scroll past by it. That's another reason why it's the superior video platform. Of course youtube is good too but everything about it is different enough where both can thrive.
