massive backlog of content, only place creators can easily make money from uploading vids I'm pretty sure, so the big creators will never switch, and a lot of smaller creators have at least a fantasy of making it big if their vids go viral, if not a goal. Honestly a government would have to step in a break up YT at this point, it's got a monopoly on vids and I don't think any platform will ever be able to break it tbh.

Boomer take

With the attention span of Zoomers and younger generations, TikToks will be everything that anybody needs as nobody can watch videos longer than 3 minutes anyways

grillman back in my day, we watched 5 hour video essays about Goof Troop

Youtube has that fake tiktok "shorts" feature, but I'm pretty sure it's just people reposting content from tiktok and other short-form video sites.

Back in my day, we didn't have 5 hour video essays, we only had 10 minute videos. And even that was considered too long back then.

I still remember RLM's Plinkett reviews being cut into separate 10 minute uploads

We used to watch horrible quality uploads of anime fansubs uploaded to YouTube in three parts.
