Is TikTok beating YouTube would be more the question, no? YouTube is full of extremely useful videos on how to repair/build/disassemble but also how to videos on everything from changing your brake pads to knitting to writing code while TikTok is full of jokes and look at me videos. YouTube has a large back library of useful videos, TikTok not so much.

YouTube reel is basically YouTube's answer to TikTok. Unfortunately it is a case of if you can't beat them then join them (i.e. it is toxic, addictive and no real utility).
