60 minute vertical videos in short form content format sounds like a new advanced brain frying torture technique.

Widescreen? Grandpa everyone uses tallscreen now, you're so old

Meanwhile youtube is heading in the opposite direction.

They're trying to take market share from each other, but failing to realize how annoying it is for those who only use one of the platforms precisely to avoid the content-style from the other.

Tiktok is 1000x better than Youtube in that it actually gives you the content you genuinely want to see. Its algorithm actually fucking works and isn't a far right machine. That's why the ruling class fucking hates it.

Tiktok competing with Youtube is fucking good news and I hope they go for it.

Although nobody is going to be watching a 60m video on their phone. They'll need to have a decent web presence and tv app to make that viable, and maybe account for which platform is best suited for which length.

Hey, every 60 minutes they might interject with an opinion

tbh I struggle to think of how a bethesda plot alone could produce those sleepytime videos

complete with obnoxious subtitles popping up in the middle of the screen and that awful text-to-speech voice

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hopefully they at least separate the long-form from short-form, like how YouTube isolates Shorts to their own area (sorta kinda)

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

YouTube is unfortunately pushing shorts more in search and in recommendations. They’re really good for retention. They’ve also started adding banners to the bottom of a video following an ad. So they’re just gonna keep pushing them more.

[–] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

All the more reason to not use youtube directly and always go through frontends like piped, invidious, etc.

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Youtube revanced for android has an option to remove shorts from all feeds (you can still access them directly from the channel page).

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Hey TikTok if you’re gonna do this, could you finally add some fucking timestamps to your progress bar so we know how long a video’s going to be? I understand hiding the number increases retention, but it’s an accessibility issue for some people.

I would use TikTok if I could disable autoplay agony-consuming

It is a violation of my consent

[–] HexBroke@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can download a patcher and turn off autoplay

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never had good luck with the revanced patcher, is there another one? Removing ads and lives would be amazing.

[–] EpicKebabEater@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Does your phone have armv7a architecture? In that case the patcher won't work but pre-patched Revanced will work fine. You can patch Revanced apps on your computer using the shell or command line depending on operating system. There are guides or I can give step by step instructions if you want.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure. I searched around but couldn't find anything relevant.

I didn't know I could patch on my computer! I guess everyone just talks about doing it on device. I think I can figure it out from the Github page, thank you for the offer.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm cool with it tho. Anything to take away market share from the crony capitalist tech companies. I don't watch youtube or tiktok myself.. at least not on purpose, but I hate everything google so I applaud anyone making them hurt even the slightest amount

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

crony capitalism is just capitalism

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

that is true

its also very highly consolidated in the tech industry right now

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

münecat would have to break her evolutionary psychology dunking into four parts tho

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

New Munecat video :meow-bounce: I can't believe YouTube wouldn't show me this (I mean I can their algorithm is shit)

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

ay yo I didn't know she uploaded a new video

[–] HexBroke@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I'm too old to learn how to train the algorithm into feeding me the sort of radical slop I enjoy

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I'm looking forward to a Youtuber making fun of that in their ~37 hour video.
