Comment on We're going in the wrong direction
r1veRRR@feddit.de 10 months agoThe videos are literally the entire point of TikTok. It makes sense that the MAIN feature would autoplay. It’s like complaining the pages in an ebook reader are “autodisplay”, instead of every single page requiring an additional input to display the text.

What a shit excuse.
Videos are literally the main point of YouTube, but they don’t incessantly play and loop nonstop unless you set them to. I search for what kind of content I want then hit play when I’m ready. If I see interesting related content, I decide whether or not click on it or whether or not to search for something else. It’s not a nonstop barrage of spam and sensory assault.
YouTube shorts are different, but I’m not referring to those.
