Thanks for sharing. I wonder why these content creators aren't publishing on YT? Maybe YT's recommendation algo is bad at surfacing this kind of content? Btw, this is a great collection. Bookmarked.

Most of successful ones are and try to nudge, as much as TikTok TOS allow them, users to subscribe to them on YouTube, because Yt is pretty much the only platform where it is possible to make some money from the views, as opposed to paid promotions and partnerships. As for the reasons TikTok is more popular, IMO it is both recommendation algorithm that is crazy good and UX where the next video is just one swipe up away.

  Thanks. While this sounds reasonable at first glance, it still doesn't quite answer my question. 1) YT pays by views. TikTok doesn't. So why not publish on YT? 2) TikTok is more popular as reported by whom? If self-reported, then we can disregard those stats. If reported by app store, well, that can be gamed. Just wondering how TikTok got so "popular".
