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?
I really despise the short form content format, but YouTube does a good job of recommending long form content that I’ll enjoy
I prefer video to not be filmed in portrait, so no, I don’t find any platform with them appealing.
The shorts format died for me the day Vine went down
Nope. I don’t like the format.
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 dont use any of them
I don’t use TikTok or Instagram and I block shorts on YouTube. The average lenght of the videos I watch is somewhere between 10 to 20 minutes.
Can you block shorts in the settings?
You need an addon for that. YouTube lets you block shorts for 30 days at a time.
How? I need this.
I use a custom filters for uBlock Origin:
www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#thumbnail[href*="/shorts"]:upward(7)
www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*="Shorts"]
Might need some adjusting depending on OS and browser (I use this for chrome on mac.)
Thanks.
I was more interested in the way the other person said.
They said you can do it in the YT app for 30 days at a time. I can’t find it though. I’m limited as I’m on iOS.
