We need a TikTube apparently.
Comment on TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out

Some irony there. Tik Tok wants to be more like Youtube with its long form content. Youtube wants to be more like Tik Tok with its shorts content.

If the companies had their way, it would go directly in to your brain

Just the ads, and you can’t turn them off. Ever.

I think they’d rather put it directly in your wallet.

Well youtube has both.
And I hope the long form videos take some sort video cues and don’t have 3 minute long rambling intros anymore. The one nice things about shorts is they get to the point.

Short-form videos are basically a form of cancer that keeps you alive with shots of dopamine every 15-30 seconds. I avoid those things like the plague.

Vine understood that. TikTok doesn’t and YouTube shorts is a glitchy mess. I use an extension to hide them because if it.

Why is youtube capping to that small time frame. Even most tiktok videos are like 2 minutes long minimum. Maybe that’s just the algorithm working for me, because I refuse to invest my attention in anything with that low of an information payoff.

Those long rambling intros have started to happen on TikTok more and more

Fucking YouTube shorts.
Every content creator has to partake in the stupidity because it’s that or becoming an algorithm outcast, so they awkwardly cut bits of their videos just to post a couple of those.
And then YouTube forces them in everyone’s throat, with absolutely no regard for the medium and no option to filter them out.
No, YouTube, I won’t watch your stupidly formatted 10-second bits of nothing on my TV.

I’m so done with shorts I’ve added the whole shorts element to my adblocker… you can’t select the seeker bar in shorts, you can’t autoscroll lol literally a retarded copy of tiktok with zero user experience functionalities
bassomitron@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You can select it on mobile but it’s super god damn glitchy and infuriating. I wouldn’t mind shorts when they’re helpful and jump straight to the point of how to fix/do something I’m looking up if it weren’t for the garbage seeker bar.

If you need to you can always replace the
shortspart in the url withwatchto get the normal interface back.arin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Can this be automated?

The best is when it’s a video shot in landscape that has been letterboxed to fit a phone screen and then pillarboxed to fit a TV screen, so the net result is a video that could fill the whole screen being displayed inside a tiny rectangle in the middle.

It is like all those anti-detection tactics of movies on Youtube.
