Comment on Activision Blizzard’s ex-CEO Bobby Kotick reportedly wants to buy TikTok

  I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.

  I'm the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,

  I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.

  So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.

  And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I'm not impressed by what I've seen, at all.

    You’re just not the target audience. Likely too old.

      When I worked in a factory, all the old country maintenance guys and techs were on tik Tok during their breaks.

        Yeah weirdly my parents (in their 60s) are getting into tiktok, reels and Facebook.

    There was a YT channel some time ago, before Vine and before TikTok (or musical.ly) called 5 Second Videos or something like that that produced genuinely entertaining content (in horizontal format).
