  Most of us are here because of us refusing to use unethical platforms. That’s the best thing about Lemmy, we have standards.

    Not that (I think most Lemmy users probably do have YouTube,) I just don’t think TikTok’s content appeals to the average Lemmy user.

        Tiktok supports 10 minute videos. I see tons of very entertaining/educational videos.

        For me it’s not the short video format only.

        Each time I installed TikTok (for whatever reason or event on a specific channel), I was met with a cringefest on the home screen. So bad I didn’t even want to look further.

        Also the app is a privacy nightmare and most like still is a phone spy, taking whatever is in the accessible phone memory and sending it.

      YouTube is the only one I can’t let go off, there are podcasts and creators that will forever be exclusive to that platform that I ashamedly do care about

    Not only that, but Tiktok is for actual morons. You made a video? and posted it to the internet? WOW SUCH INNOVATION. NICE HAND DANCE.

      Clearly you’ve never used TikTok. The algorithm is amazing.
