I only saw some videos on other’s phones.
Also I started using newpipe for youtube exactly because I don’t want an algorithm learning what I’m interested in. No way in hell I do it for tiktok.
Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 months agoYou either never used Tiktok, or you spent too much time staring at the shit videos and that ended up as your feed.
Personally, I get gardening tips, legal analysis of the trump trials, and stand up comedy. It’s great.

I get that on YouTube. (Legal Eagle, Leja etc) Just a bit less CCP manipulation. Not that there aren’t issues with YouTube. Just less than TicTok.

YouTube shorts recommendations suck.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I just want to not see them. I dont watch shorts and I never will. Youtube can go fuck itself because I fucking refuse to watch anything in fucking portrait mode let alone narrowed down in timescale to roughly fuck all.

I have trouble with YouTube. It never recommends good short form content. If I could crack that, I probably wouldn’t Tiktok.
Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That’s probably fair enough. I don’t watch shorts on any site anywhere. I tend to opt for the 20 minute 30 minute or longer videos. Sitting and working on things when I get home.

This, basically. Google took YouTube and made its algorithm push more long form content for the purpose of generating revenue from ads. Not saying TikTok doesn’t have ads in my feed but at least I can skip literally all of them.

You are brainwashed lol
Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I concede. Can’t argue with facts like that. You’d have to be brainwashed to want to be spied on by one less entity. Oh wait my mistake. You have no facts. You’re just expressing a baseless useless opinion that isn’t worth shit. Have a nice day :-)

Hm funny how the government isn’t banning spying, but is asking for foreign companies to be sold? It’s okay when Facebook goes it.
