I have trouble with YouTube. It never recommends good short form content. If I could crack that, I probably wouldn't Tiktok.

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.
