TikTok has definitely become the platform for short form video content. It used to be YouTube, but it's since matured into a place to watch more well produced videos in the 20 minute range. If you haven't given TikTok a chance, try it out.
Wasn’t the tiktok app lambasted for being terribly intrusive and data-collecty?

YouTube is already bad enough in terms of time wasted, privacy and more.

Why would I want to watch short form video content? Genuinely curious here.

It can convey more information than the stationary images that dominate much of reddit, while taking less effort to consume than text (it's really hard to get people to engage with more than the headline in written content). TikTok is imho one of the closest approximations of a marketplace of ideas, or a penny-university. Every topic under the sun is talked about (even if TikTok tries to censor a bunch of topics), yo…
Given they are fairly aggressive at censoring views that run against progressive perspectives, can they really be a true marketplace of ideas? Topics like the lab leak theory or nuanced views on trans issues will net you a ban a lot sooner than on other platforms.
It seems insane how quickly they did it. How long did it take for YouTube to reach 1B MAUs?
Youtube also started in a very different world in regard to ubiquitous online access, not to mention mobile online access.
This means one eighth of humanity uses tik tok once a month. Only about 3.8 billion people worldwide have a smartphone. We’re saying that about one in 4 smartphone users registers a hit on tik tok every month. That seems really high.

Probably same as fb and insta. Just use it via browser. (It wasn’t trusting my incognito mode when using playwright, but saving session while in iPhone mode worked)
