 I see so many people underestimate TikTok here and dismiss it into a dance video app for kids category.  This is not the case. TikTok does fill the entertainer role, but it can also educate if you seek out information, and for younger people video is more interesting than text results. I do a fair bit of video search myself on YouTube for things like product reviews.

 yes there so many alternate to YT now - simple nobody can match VOLUME of content and user in YT
its not YT has huge great feature. brand n volume cascade attarts MORE like u n me in YT
even if the want to use alternate they end using YT since audience or content is much more there
so others it takes much long time

 My main issue with TikTok is that it's designed to be predatory and atrocious for privacy, while significantly reducing the common person's attention span. Well, that and the sheer amount of single-brain-cell dolts it has created.

Short-form video in and of itself is completely fine by me. I just despise TikTok's guts in particular.
