    Ya it’s literally the easiest way to get a quick video on something you wanna learn. Not to mention (unlike other platforms) you get a friendly face that teaches it to you

        Because there’s no critical thought about who is delivering that information to you, where they got it from, what biases and/or agendas they may or may not have, etc…

          You comment as if me reading your 15 second comment isn’t the same. Who are you to judge if unknown viewers think critically? This is a cringe take carried over from reddit

        i wanted to learn how to do a certain knot once, and tiktok has short to-the-point videos, while youtube was filled with 10+minutes videos with long introductions, sponsors, long speeches on why you might want to know that knot,…
