Meanwhile YouTube tries to copy TikTok by pushing Shorts.
Reminds me of how stories are everywhere now or how everyone copied clubhouse for a while. Instead of strengthening what a product is good at, these companies want their products to he everything at once and often lose focus about what their product was originally good at.
Telegram for example becomes a fully blown social network now but message sync and notifications between different clients are spotty now - that’s what made them great for me in the beginning.
Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.
Hasn’t Telegram always been a Russian asset?
Matrix is the way to go
Threema is the way to go🇨🇭
They do this because they need to create “infinite” growth to justify their overvalued stock price
message editing is an odd one, several times I’ve edited a message and not seen the change reflected on my other devices for hours at the time. Makes me wonder if my recipient get the updated message with a massive delay as well.
Google would never have too many products and lose focus.
I’m so glad that Enhancer for YT got updated again. No more Shorts spam for me.
yeah fuck that shit, hidden
Maybe i should start a medium form video hosting site…
No less than 10 minutes, but no more than 45 minutes.
That actually might be amazing.
22 minute videos…we’ve just reinvented broadcast television.
And we’ll put a series of ads to round it up to 1 hour, brilliant!
If YouTube was too long and TikTok was too short, yours could be just right.
You could call it Goldilokk
perfect
That’s marketing gold right there.
Remember OLD Youtube? With a 10 minute upload limit? Which is why the original Red Letter Media Mr. Plinkett review of The Phantom Menace, the work that basically invented the modern long-form video essay, was broken into 9 parts?
Shorts are so abominably bad, I feel like I fell through a portal into another dimension when i watch the absolute garbage there.
Peertube pls take off
Not happening
People can’t even register and comment. All instances i tried do not accept registrarion requests
Tilvids was easy and worked for me.
But yeah Peertube still needs some ease of use features.
YouTube wants to be Ticktok so we have a circle
Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative
You forgot this: /s
upload every episode of air crash investigations!
I’m a TikTok user (sorry) and love the longer educational videos, but over 10 minutes which is the current limit seems excessive in this format. I wanna be able to pause and continue these later which doesn’t fit into how TikTok works.
IMO these should be separated into different apps, when I use YouTube I also don’t wanna be made to watch their shorts. I wouldn’t mind a YT alternative by TikTok – don’t get me wrong they’re also a horrible company but it wouldn’t harm to have competition by one of the few who could pull it off.
What’s the point? Most people I see on Tiktok have so little attention span that everything gets skipped after the first 5 seconds.
They make it to five seconds?
My wife maybe watches the first 700 milliseconds before deciding if she’s going to watch a video.
TikTok has melted her already short attention span. We’re working on cutting down on it, but she’s truly addicted to social media in general.
“I’d like to take this 5 minute break and thank all my sponsors before we get into the video!”
All these websites are taking features from other ones nowadays.
This has been happening since AOL.
Not the YT alternative we wanted, but the one we deserve… :(
Well, I’d definitely call that an improvement for those psychos who watch movies there in incontable chunks… (Yeah, this species exists).
YT needs something like this tbf
🤔
Long form competition they’ve become far too complacent and not rewarding or pushing long form creators.
