Not to mention that it's hard to intuitively watch longterm videos on TikTok. Once you swipe a video, it's gone, unless you save it on favorites, and it's not easy to get back to the video, either. At least on YouTube, it's easier to go back to the paused video from the homepage.

Another thing about TikTok that I don't get is all the useless crap laid over the video. Seems extremely distracting to me.

As a frequent tiktok user as of late, swiping away a video doesn't make it go away forever. You can always go back, also there's a view history if you're really trying to find a video you lost. People shit on tiktok a lot but it's made my cooking phenomenal.
