It would be really interesting if TikTok allowed users to make a sequential thread of videos, and added a scroll control to view "next video in sequence". Currently "part 2" videos are very tedious to find, if they could make a way to continue a sequence from the fyp with a simple gesture or button, I think they could seriously challenge longer form videos as well.

I haven't created a TikTok video yet, so don't count on me for the details but on some videos I see a link to a playlist. BTW, I skip all multi-part videos unless there is a good reason for being multipart. Most are trying to game the system.

> I think they could seriously challenge longer form videos as well. Is this like the Twitter feed readers that take what should be a blog post on an external site and stitch them back into something readable, instead of a blog post in 40 parts? There are plenty of sites that focus on long form videos and it might make sense to put long form videos there, if one wants long form video content.

    I’m shocked to see YouTube not even make AppAnnie’s top ten list at all. More people downloaded Twitter and Telegram over YouTube last year? Really?

      I guess it comes pre installed on Android, which has a huge market share globally.

        There are lot of alternative youtube apps too though I can't imagine it being a big chunk of the market.

Initially, I'm thinking, "but that's just youtube with a slightly different presentation." But then I thought about the fact that a lot of significant developements were "just <something else> with a slightly different presentation."

They recently added playlists (they show up as yellow text with a gray highlight in the description) but the ability to make them may not have rolled out to everyone. They have notoriously slow roll outs (like with new TTS voices and the captions).

They can make a comment that says "part 2" and respond to it. Add a pin and it'll be at the top. Some creators do this, but not enough. Besides with 3 minute videos, this shouldn't be a problem anymore.

对应的中国内的抖音版，已经支持长视频10分钟以上，只是体验上还是不如短视频有趣。因为习惯了快餐，慢节奏的长视频让人失去耐心看完，除非它质量不错。

There is a way to group a set of your videos by topic, they call the feature “playlists” and it was introduced in March 2021.
