TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there's a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

Edit: you can even hold either edge of the screen to speed up the video in TikTok. And a 2 finger hold hides the caption and interface

why is tiktok the only good short video platform

I can't be the only one feeling FOMO because I don't use it? YouTube has no content so they just cycle through old shit, old jokes Spotlight is better but doesn't have a good algorithm, And I don't use anything else because of fear of privacy.

It feels like I'm missing out on such a huge part of culture where I live today, my jokes are outdated and I feel unfunny because of it, while at the same time the other side of me is telling me that what I'm doing is good right now!

Some stuff I can do without and are better off dead. But yeah, part of culture is now locked away inside some of these platforms now.

The main reason I'm keeping away from Tiktok is addiction. I want to cling to the rest of sanity I have, and becoming a phone crackhead might not help. Tiktok can be used more privately if you sacrifice a bit of conveniency.
