Introduction:

Youtube and TikTok have always been popular, they both have similar features and are really alike, but there’s one question. Which is better? In this article, You will find out which is better, in 3 topics: How Helpful it is, How Funny it is, and How Many People Use it. After all of these have been decided, we will find out which app is better.

1. Helpfulness

Alright, starting off we have the helpfulness of the apps. This topic is mainly about which app has them most use and if you were trying to solve a puzzle or start something of some sort, which would help you do that thing easiest? First, Youtube is quite helpful with whatever you may try to do, since it has two forms of videos, long form and short form. Short form videos are mainly for small puzzles that you may be stuck on, but long form videos are mainly for projects and other sorts of stuff. Lets use something for example, you are trying to start a business or website where you can help people find/navigate things. Full form videos will probably include how to startup, and mainly setting up all of the main parts. The short form videos are generally for small scripts and making little details on some things. TikTok, on the other hand, is also pretty good for this type of thing. Even though most of TikTok contains short form videos, it also has videos that can go on for up to 1 hour! The only problem is that its accessibility to search is not very great, but overall it is great and has many people on the platform to help you out with many things! It’s also good for small scripts and little details just like Youtube since the short form videos are incredibly helpful.

2. Humor

Youtube is very funny, and has some hilarious content, but there is one issue. Most of the funny videos are reposted from TikTok’s content creators and sometimes, you can literally see the TikTok logo to know it has been reposted to Youtube. Overall though, Youtube has great funny content and lots of categories whether you want slapstick humor, or observational humor, and more! Next up we have TikTok, which is genuinely great if you want to laugh. Its content is really funny and has lots of videos that will guarantee you some laughs. TikTok has many different genres of humor and has many creators that can post all types of funny videos!

3. How Many People Use it

Youtube dominates TikTok with monthly user than TikTok does, with 2.7 billion users against TikTok’s 1.5–1.9 billion users. As well as the fact that many people have recently been watching TikTok, Youtube has been around significantly longer than TikTok has. To be exact, Youtube was created in 2005, while TikTok was released in 2017. This means that many people who have been around for a long time are more familiar with Youtube then they are with TikTok.

4. Conclusion

Now, after reviewing all of these factors, the winner is… Youtube! As well as the fact that TikTok has great videos and make really funny content, Youtube is the ideal option. It also has some funny content and has more people on the platform that use it everyday. It has two different types of videos that you can also choose from, depending on how much time you have to spend on what you want. TikTok is also great, and its also a really good platform, but what do you think? Do you prefer TikTok over Youtube?
