If nothing else here’s something TikTok search results have going for them:
I don’t have to pause to allow cookies before I can see the content
I don’t have to close a full screen overlay that wants me to subscribe to a newsletter
There’s a good chance the content was made by a real person
- rchaud 4y agoWhat's faster, closing a cookie popup or watching a 7-10 second video that may or may not be related to your search query?
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoThere's just as good of a chance you'll need 7-10 seconds to parse that the google article is also not related to your query after clicking the cookie popup.
- rchaud 4y agoBut when I search, I click based on a one-line description on the results page. Can you really tell anything based on the result thumbnails you see on the TT search page? N.B. I last used TT in January, so if they have changed the search UI since then, I wouldn't be aware of it.
- bilsbie 4y agoIt takes me 5-10 seconds to get to the meat of a webpage these days.
- whyoh 4y agoSearching videos on TikTok greets me with an anti-bot puzzle. And it still doesn't let me see the results unless I log in. It's pretty much unusable for me.
- bilsbie 4y agoI meant the app. Might be bad on the website.
