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?

    Define too long. I like videos of up to 20 minutes. That’s long to some people. Occasionally I’ll enjoy longer videos but almost always I think to myself “you could have said the same in a much shorter video”. If you’re coming up on an hour or more, you should really look at that script again. And I won’t even open the 4 hours bullshit rambling videos. Do people actually watch that or is it just on in the background?

      Yeah the algorithm has pushed a lot of creators to 20 mind plus which can be nice for turning on while cleaning up the kitchen but sometimes I see an interesting video and Im thinking thatt if it were 5 minutes shorter I’d click but 20+ needs a lot of content to justify. Veritasium and a few others have fallen out of my rotation because there is a bit of fat on the videos these days.
