TikTok extending length of videos up to 10 minutes?!

article image placeholderUploaded by @JonathanGossett
And I rarely watch a full three minute video because I get bored or I just sometimes don't see the point of a three minute long video. But I also think it's cool for some certain aspects, like if people are going to be talking about extended story, but otherwise, I don't necessarily see the point of ten minutes because the purpose of TikTok is to have small and short videos. So I think it's going against the purpose of the entire app

But sometimes I'll fall into a hole and be watching a ten part story on TikTok, and I have to go find each and every one of the parts. So I think that maybe like a to minutes Tik Tok could help with those stories so they don't have to be broken up into. However many

But the whole point of it is that it's short, it's small, and you can watch it and kind of take it in and then move on to the next video because it's supposed to be like, short, like short little videos similar to vine, but obviously a little bit longer. The ten minute thing is like, I feel like that's really unnecessary and it kind of goes against the whole point of TikTok. But yeah, that's just my opinion, I guess

So I have very mixed emotions about it. And honestly, like, who needs a ten minute video that is borderline approaching YouTube? And what I loved about TikTok is the fact that the videos were so short. So the fact that they're kind of contradicting themselves. Now, I don't really love

I don't know if they've rolled out the ten minute videos yet, but I personally haven't seen them and I'm on TikTok all the time. So you're really bringing this to my attention again. But I really agree with you. Like kind of what everyone saying. I just feel like it definitely contradicts their app. And my only guess could be they're trying to rebrand themselves, but they definitely don't need any rebranding

But if someone keeps you engaged in the type of content they make, no matter if it's 3 minutes or 10 minutes, the people still going to wait if they like what you're doing. So, yeah, it's totally up to the person who's watching the video
