I don’t see a lot TikTok type video on any of the channels I watch on YouTube.

Just fire up YT shorts. Nothing but content from TikTok.

I think I have seen that... I don't mind it in a way as I'd rather watch it on youtube than install the tiktok app.

Granted I'm also not going out of my way to watch it so not a big win for YT.

Honestly it's a really poor experience compared to TikTok - ignoring the whole Chinese State controlled thing - the algorithm on YT just doesn't match TT's ability for content discovery.

I haven't installed the app either but on the odd occasion will doomscroll in a private browser session.

I think I have heard that.

I suspect youtube is trying to do both at the same time and... doesn't work.

But for me and a rando one off clip, I'd rather see it on youtube.

It really depends on the channel and style of content.

I don't see it on any of the news or review channels but more common on the food, instructional etc ones.

Yeah I guess the only one I can think of is the vscode channel that does some of those ... they're actually kinda 50/50 annoying / helpful. It's a weird thing to do a short on.

The comment is not about repost, it's about the short video, and I also don't see much of it on yt

The YouTube recommendation algorithm prefers longer videos than that. It is specifically trained to optimize for “watch minutes,” and longer videos seem more effective than extremely short ones.

Youtube has recently started recommending short videos too, varying from 10 sec to 1 min, but that depends on your viewing habits. They even have a "#shorts" feature to compete with TikTok.
