it is kids that use TikTok mainly and they don't have the stamina to watch for one minuet without swiping next.

Didn't realize so many of those of a boomer mentality were on here, but I'm also not terribly surprised at the same time. There's good stuff on TikTok and their algorithm seems pretty solid at finding stuff you'd be interested in. So, those that want to create and watch 10-minute pieces will now have the option, good for them.
All surviving social networks eventually become Myspace
I hope you don't think this is true.
Do you realize how much money Facebook has? They're going to up their limits to match it or surpass it.
I feel like having short videos really brings out the creativity in legitimate creators. Soon we're going to see movies/TV Shows being uploaded in different parts.
Agree.
And, then they will allow 15 and so on...wait, it's just another YouTube. Clever.
Another YouTube, but even worse for creators. I remember hearing about this girl who made a TikTok and it got ~50M views. TikTok paid her 4 dollars.
I’m on tiktok for HOURS a day. With my short attention span, 3 minutes already seems like too long. 10 minutes is way too long, and I worry creators will use this to drag out their videos and even still tell us “like for Part 2!”
I didn’t read the whole MR post, but were there even users and/or creators asking tiktok for longer videos?

I used to be with it. Then they changed what it is. Now what I'm with isn't it and what's it is weird and scary. And it will happen to you!
TikTok - I don't see the point, just another of the very similar things out there that waste enough of life's time.

This is extremely false. All kinds of people use TikTok, from brands and companies, to adults, to kids, to teenagers, to grandmothers and grandfathers.
No what we mean is we are too intelligent for Tik-Tok. It pointless, mindless drivel with idiots being idiots. Show me a Tik-Tock that actually has something important to say, with actual humans and not that weird robo voice thing or dramatic overlays, someone saying “how would they know“ or dancing like a gimp or their clothes suddenly disappearing ( actually we can keep that one )
TL;DR - It’s rubbish.
This is extremely false. All kinds of idiots use TikTok, from Sugar Water Cans and Evil Corporations, to Idiots, to youngIdiots, to teenidiots, to grandIdiots and grandIdiots.
Point of note - if I ever caught my KIDS ( under 11 ) on this Timewaster, I’d throw away any tech they have and stick them in a room with books.
Hilarious that you’ve got Zuckerberg‘s actual face in your post on your profile lol that’s awesome!
I think this 10 minute video is going to really destroy the effectiveness of TickTock for its purpose and being it will affect probably Facebook videos but this actually opens up Avenue for political posts on TickTock and most of the travel now anyway not necessarily political polls for advertisements any Pulsera 10 minutes long and target audience doesn’t have time for that their minds are only focus on the 32nd five minute 1 minute if you can’t deliver it one minute and delivering nothing to them.
One is controlled by a Chinese company no one trusts and the other is controlled by an American company no one trusts.
All for knocking YouTube around a little bit, but also slightly annoyed that every piece of software has to do everything everyone else is doing now. I just wanna see tweets when I look at Twitter, photos on Instagram, static long form videos on YouTube, music on Spotify...vines on TikTok
Everything is just becoming everything and it's making the UI absolutely drenched in chaos. Maybe I'm weird but it just makes me wanna use all their **** much less.

Well maybe it is demographic how it is used. I teach at an elementary school - all kids use TikTok and snapshat. Some use instagram and almost no one use Facebook. Among teachers it is the opposite. But that may also say a lot about teachers...
