Well, I’d definitely call that an improvement for those psychos who watch movies there in incontable chunks… (Yeah, this species exists).
Meanwhile YouTube tries to copy TikTok by pushing Shorts.
Reminds me of how stories are everywhere now or how everyone copied clubhouse for a while. Instead of strengthening what a product is good at, these companies want their products to he everything at once and often lose focus about what their product was originally good at.
Telegram for example becomes a fully blown social network now but message sync and notifications between different clients are spotty now - that’s what made them great for me in the beginning.
YouTube wants to be Ticktok so we have a circle
As if their user base has that kind of attention span /s.
Not the YT alternative we wanted, but the one we deserve… :(
Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative
“I’d like to take this 5 minute break and thank all my sponsors before we get into the video!”
YT needs something like this tbf
🤔
Long form competition they’ve become far too complacent and not rewarding or pushing long form creators.
