@ryanhoulihan Also I have to say I really like the vibe on TikTok? It is so often just regular people making themselves and each other laugh. It's quite charming

@upmultimedia @ryanhoulihan interestingly that was the vibe on old school YouTube (2009-ish). Almost everything was more "natural" and by individuals having fun or sharing their knowledge/ideas for the sake of it

@upmultimedia @ryanhoulihan I think the only reason I haven't gotten into it (which applies to Shorts and Reels as well) is that there's no way to browse through what you like without autoplay, like just seeing a big list of new videos from all the people you follow. And there's also no video controls (fast-forward, rewind, scrub, etc.)
I wish it was at least an option, even if off by default.
