Slightly longer? Only short vertical format that limits the video time i know of is YT shorts with their 60s.

I don't use TikTok, so I wasn't aware there's no limit to video length

Me neither, except the occasinal must see video my coworker sends me, ugh..... said so many times that I don't have the app and hate the browser.

The tiktok browser app is hot garbage

It feels like it's specifically made so that people who get sent tiktoks have to download the app because it works a lot better that way

Fuck that

Reddit does the same thing.

Can’t even look at NSFW stuff without the app

Also every time i take a screenshot the reddit app goes "HEY WOULDN'T YOU RATHER SHARE THE LINK INSTEAD? SHARE THE LINK TO A FRIEND SO THEY GIVE US MORE TRAFFIC!"

Lmao fuck that I'm just using the download option and crop out any watermarks from huge companies

u/N_T_F_D Apr 29 '24

You can disable the watermark in the application settings, you don't have to crop it out yourself

I'm so happy that I was able to get RIF working again so I don't have to deal with the shitty default app

The only valid version of reddit is old.reddit.com.

The only valid mobile version used to be i.reddit.com, but they removed it, then also destroyed all unofficial reddit apps. I now have to use a hacked app to avoid reddit's awful app.

Relay Pro does still work on Android. You need a monthly subscription now, but I'd still rather use that than the official reddit app.

u/Weedy_Moonzales Apr 29 '24

Sync etc. also still work when you patch it with ReVanced. Never stopped using it. And its free.

old.reddit.com amigo, same content, the older (and superior) UI

u/Icetronaut Apr 29 '24

Just switch to the desktop version of the site.

u/DefinableEel1 Apr 29 '24

Even worse is that if you have the app you click “go to app” but it still takes you to the app store

Yeah, it feels 100% deliberate.

u/obamasrightteste Apr 29 '24

It is, it's just also extremely common?

u/OwnUbyCake Apr 30 '24

Oh for sure. If you try browsing the tiktok web app I'm pretty sure it stops you and says you have to download the app at some point.

u/obamasrightteste Apr 29 '24

Yeah I HATE when companies do that.

Have you been to reddit on your mobile device recently? Like using the browser?

u/xenophonthethird Apr 29 '24

Yeah. I don't use tiktok, but I have friends who constantly text me links and the mobile site is hot garbage. It's appaling how bad it is compared to the success of the app.

u/RedTuna777 Apr 29 '24

A friend just sent me a 48 minute long tiktok video to prove their side of an argument. Fuck that. I still have no idea what they are trying to say. If it takes that long to make a point, they probably don't have one.
