While this number is markedly lower than that promoted by YouTube Shorts, it should be noted that there&#8217;s a difference between a YouTube user watching one short video, and a TikTok users, specifically opening up the TikTok for an experience, exclusively dedicated to short-form video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to compare these numbers, as I&#8217;m sure is the intension behind the differing formats given out by these platforms. It&#8217;s important for artists and creators to ensure their presence is across all major social media platforms.
