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.
Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.
Hasn't Telegram always been a Russian asset?
Matrix is the way to go
Threema is the way to go🇨🇭
They do this because they need to create “infinite” growth to justify their overvalued stock price
message editing is an odd one, several times I've edited a message and not seen the change reflected on my other devices for hours at the time. Makes me wonder if my recipient get the updated message with a massive delay as well.
Google would never have too many products and lose focus.
I'm so glad that Enhancer for YT got updated again. No more Shorts spam for me.
yeah fuck that shit, hidden
Maybe i should start a medium form video hosting site…
No less than 10 minutes, but no more than 45 minutes.
That actually might be amazing.
22 minute videos…we’ve just reinvented broadcast television.
And we'll put a series of ads to round it up to 1 hour, brilliant!
If YouTube was too long and TikTok was too short, yours could be just right.
You could call it Goldilokk
That's marketing gold right there.
perfect
Remember OLD Youtube? With a 10 minute upload limit? Which is why the original Red Letter Media Mr. Plinkett review of The Phantom Menace, the work that basically invented the modern long-form video essay, was broken into 9 parts?
Shorts are so abominably bad, I feel like I fell through a portal into another dimension when i watch the absolute garbage there.
