I've never used TikTok before, so apologies for the ignorance, but here's a question nevertheless: one of the really nice thing about YouTube is the sort of "long term archival of knowledge" aspect of it.
Meaning: unless Google decides to purge content for reason X or Y, it is (or seems to) be there for ever.
What about TikTok content? Is it here to stay or is it kind of ephemeral?
Also: at the risk of sounding like an old fart, I really dislike using a phone for consuming content (tiny screen, unwieldy interface, no control on the platform, the list is very long) ... is there a non-mobile way to access it? For content that teaches you about stuff, is there a way to bookmark it and refer to it later?
- fullsend 5y agoThese are good questions and I think it’s nowhere near as rosy as OP described.
- jpindar 5y agoAFAIK the content is permanent. There's a website as well as the app. You can look through all the videos you've favorited, but it could be hard to find a specific one. If you want to be sure you can quickly find something, you can share it or copy and paste the link. You can also follow its creator.
