    TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there’s a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

    Edit: you can even hold either edge of the screen to speed up the video in TikTok. And a 2 finger hold hides the caption and interface

      why is tiktok the only good short video platform

      I can’t be the only one feeling FOMO because I don’t use it? YouTube has no content so they just cycle through old shit, old jokes Spotlight is better but doesn’t have a good algorithm, And I don’t use anything else because of fear of privacy.

      It feels like I’m missing out on such a huge part of culture where I live today, my jokes are outdated and I feel unfunny because of it, while at the same time the other side of me is telling me that what I’m doing is good right now!
