I think this is one good case of value from execution vs from idea. The idea's pretty dead simple but I think there are execution reasons why creators and viewers are on TikTok. The AI recommendations, video editing abilities and live AI filters are fairly unmatched. YouTube has all the reasons for me to spend more time on it than TikTok if its recommendations system doesn't keep thinking I want to become a plumber after watching one DIY video.
- actuator 6y agoI am not sure how the kind of videos that do well on Tiktok will do on Youtube. Tiktok video seems to be the 10-30 second entertainment ones. Youtube by its very nature has a whole breadth of other content. Their recommendation can be certainly improved though.
- xster 6y agoI'm not saying their contents are interchangeable. I'm just saying there are more diverse and deeper contents on YouTube and I should be spending more time on YouTube if the recommendation system's execution was more on point. i.e. I'm disagreeing with the GP that the app has no moat. The app idea is a simple one but the execution isn't that trivial to copy.
