You forget, that YT shorts appeared after TT emergence. It was a try from Google to get some part of TT success.

To be honest, I didn't use TT. Ecept when someone gives me direct link. But I am using YTshorts, coz I am already at youtube watching long vids.

Pretty addictive this shorts are.

I hate TT for trying to force me into registering.

Also I hate TT for baning porn and even erotic couple tears ago.
