It is pretty obvious why it is better though. It is getting more input and it is getting faster input so it can course correct quicker and more aggressively.

The youtube algorithm wants to optimize for time on the site, and the creators try and have 10 minute videos it seems.
In that time you can consume 60 tiktok videos at 10s each and skipping the ones you dont want and watching the ones you do.
Since 10s is such a small investment they can throw random videos at you and it is pretty low cost.
- cloverich 5y agoi’ve watched a lot of youtube this year. every day, and i rarely consume any other media at all. Its overtuned to locking you in and i generally agree with OP. I was watching a lot of guitar stuff and at one point that’s literally all it would show me, despite having other interests. i think i appreciated it was a bit lacking when i realized i was regularly clicking into my subscriptions and searching (manually) for new stuff they or related channels may have uploaded — and finding many interesting videos after wards. Its a hard problem and perhaps im an exception, but if you are searching for new stuff, and finding amd watching it, that’s a miss by the algorithm. Especially if that becomes the main thing you do.
