Same with mine lol. I think he likes YouTube better cause you don't have to log in or have an account to see the content, unlike Tiktok. But he'll still be like "can we watch some videos?" and then we both curl up around my phone and watch dumb Tiktok shit on my account 😂

I watch some YT shorts sometimes. It shows up on my home page, and I can easily click only the ones that interest me and watch like a normal video, then go back to other videos.
Besides how awful it is to try to curate the algorithm at first (while my YT account is already set), I just hate the "shorts" interface, which I can choose to ignore on YT but it's all TikTok has.
I don't scroll through the shorts, I look at the title, thumbnail, and maybe the first few seconds and choose the ones that interest me, not unlike other videos.

I mean at least he isn't signed to the chinese government then. If you use Youtube already it's way better to not het TikTok on top. Thats not a gotcha.
