Most videos on my feed are 3 - 10 minutes, they are ttending less short.

I like tiktok, it's the only "social media" I use other than Lemmy. I normally hate finding video content, YouTube sucks, and their shorts are even worse. But on Tiktok I get served all sorts of interesting videos, I will stumble upon some cool topic that has been chopped up into five 10 minute videos and then find the video or a similar video on YouTube or something.

It's an excellent way to discover things fast. You just can't use it as a good source, need to do external research.

My biggest gripe is as you said, they have really seemed to amp up the ads and stupid live crap.
