- xiphias2 5y agoShe was watching it, and actually it makes sense to watch other people talking about their illness similar to yours and how they are coping with it. The problem I see is TikTok itself, instead of using YouTube with its long form videos, of published peer reviewed papers.
- inetknght 5y ago> instead of using YouTube with its long form videos, of published peer reviewed papers ...what? Long form videos, sure. Videos of published peer reviewed papers? If anything, the pandemic has demonstrated to us that most people don't watch videos of good peer-reviewed papers.
- Zababa 5y ago> YouTube with its long form videos, of published peer reviewed papers Are we talking about the same youtube? Sure, most videos are 10/15 minutes long, because the algorithm favors them, but it's 15 minutes of video for 3 minutes of content at most. And videos about published, peer reviewed papers? These things are very rare. That's not even considering the fact that these published, peer reviewed papers may be about unreproducible experiments or stuff like that.
- xiphias2 5y agoThere are lots of conference and university learning material on youtube on any medical issue. I find it quite useful paired with textual research papers and Wikipedia articles together. If you're just finding 15 minute videos, you're not looking hard enough.
- Zababa 5y agoIf people are going on TikTok in the first place, that's because "looking hard enough" isn't their thing.
