The Impact of Short-Form Video on Social Media

Short-form video content, particularly exemplified by TikTok, is reshaping the landscape of social media, prompting platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn to adopt similar features. The discussion highlights how TikTok's addictive, algorithm-driven model has changed user engagement, making quick, visually stimulating content a dominant form of consumption. This format has not only influenced casual platforms but also seeped into professional networks, affecting user expectations across the board. As a result, even if TikTok were to be banned, its influence on user behavior and content creation would likely persist in other social media formats.
