I QUIT My 800K+ TikTok. Here's why.

My main takeaway from this video is "you either win or you learn". Love that!

Interesting to hear! I think both TikTok and IG are in a bad place in terms of community. I’ve had a few huge reels with lots of follower growth and then it stagnates and I never hear from those people again

Such a great video, thanks for sharing this bro! Multiple laughs out loud! 😂 I almost jumped into TikTok a couple of years ago but I think I’m glad I didn’t invest the time and effort.

1500 Dollarish is what i guess. And yeah, Tik Tok is trash. I'd rather get one good few on Youtube, that has actually watched the video, instead of 1000 doom scrolling views.

See this as a great move my dude! Stoked to see how this will affect everything. Please do an update video later in the year - or next year!

🇨🇦 Canadian here who followed you to YouTube from tiktok. Your explanations in this video makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing. Personally, I love the ease of creating fun videos on tiktok, but it's not a business for me. Their tools make it so simple for a grandmother like me to create fun stuff for my grandson. However, I'm not too keen on all the strange fake followers, bots, I guess? So while it's easier for me to create on tiktok, I prefer YouTube as my steady diet for consumption of interesting, educational, and manageable content.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was guessing Tiktok wouldn't make as much money like e.g. YT, but I also guess it highly depends on your niche / content and if it is brand friendly. I remember from my old job in fashion they would budget a lot of money to play the ads on all socials and pay influencers, specificly on platforms where young people are on. And unfortunately today that's Tiktok. Great video as always my friend!

Awesome 😎 bro, you’ve come a long way!

YouTube still is (and likely will be) the final boss of the Social Media game. As much as people can make money and get opportunities from other platforms, it all leads back to YouTube. It has all of the best factors of WHY a creator does content creation built in. You always hear IGers, TikTokers, LinkedIn’ers (LOL) want to become YouTubers…you never hear a YouTuber want to become any of the aforementioned - unless it’s simply need to expand their reach

What are your thoughts on TikTok? I haven't posted there or opened the app for months now, maybe a mistake, but ultimately I do think it's a good decision for me at the moment.

I will say, with the right type of content you can definitely get sponsors for tiktok and shorts, that said... Most of the creators I know, including myself are tired of tiktok, and would much rather focus on long form!

What do you think is sony alpha a6100 good for live streaming and is it worth saving like 150 euros because second option si a6400?

I agree 100% with that, If you can't make money on TikTok like people are doing in the states for example, it's almost pointless. You just use it to point people to Instagram or YouTube. I think YouTube is the greatest platform out there for creators!

Thanks for sharing man!

Bro the Chinese Spy cutoff killed me 😅🤣🤣

I thought to start a project on TikTok but after watching your video, it just confirmed my concerns about this platform. I decided to cancel the project and just deleted my account. I better focus on YouTube and PeerTube. Thank you much for your video.

Are you still in Iceland? Bought A6700 after watching your videos and look forward to bringing it in May/june-maybe video teaching rookie would do well for you and teach me some skill

This is a very great perspective and insight to the topic. However, why not instead of completely quitting, you still just also post byproducts and behind the scenes of the youtube videos on TikTok still. Since you already do vertical videos on instagram.

I refuse to associate my computer with Tik Tok. It is a Chinese spyware app. Not recommended at all.
