YouTube & TikTok are some of the most widely used video platforms in the world – YouTube was created on 2005 February 14, while TikTok was created back in September 2016 and hit the scene a couple of years later. In this blog, we walk you through the alternatives to these two popular video platforms.
For most of you reading this blog, the answer to what these two platforms are and what they do will be pretty obvious – one platform is a video-sharing service that allows all users to watch, like, share, comment on videos and upload their own while TikTok is more known for its ability to provide its users with an ability to create and quickly share short videos in a mobile-suitable format of 1080×1920.
When people use YouTube, they’re looking for all sorts of things from tutorials to trailers of certain movies whereas when they use TikTok, they’re mostly simply looking for a distraction for a couple of minutes to get through their day.
Both platforms are unique in that they provide their users with the ability to create and share content that has different formats and captures the interest of different audiences.
