TikTok might just move backwards compared to Youtube. Youtube had longform first, then shorts. If TikTok just keeps bumping up the max video length over time, or maybe adds another tab for longform videos with a separate algorithm, I could see it being more successful since they are already known for video. Didn't Facebook also inflate viewer numbers and force video uploads to Facebook (no more sharing a Youtube link)? I remember back in the day the Glove and Boots channel started uploading their content on both Youtube and Facebook, which cut the viewership numbers to plummet on both platforms. They had to take a hiatus for a while to figure out how to fix the issue so their business wasn't destroyed. If I am remembering correctly, then Facebook "tried" but they really didn't do a great job to actually make it work.
