Audience
The Audience is very different. I uploaded the same Video on both Plattforms to compare the Engagement.
YouTube Audience Statistics for 2024:
YouTube Audience watch Viodeos longer in average.
It depends of course on the content, but there is more Male users on this Plattform.
TikTok Audience Statistics for 2024:
It is harder to keep TikTok Audience engaged, since they are used to Short-Form Content. So the Retention rate is about 25% lower in this example. But it depends on the Content.
The Audience is younger in average.
Algorithms
The Algorithms on YouTube and TikTok will push your Video based on Watchtime and the Retemtion Rate. They want to keep you on the Plattform and obviously you want to have more Watch-Time and Views. Based on that, i recommend you to see the Algorithm as a Partner and not the evil Demon who wants to steal your Views. It is a Win-Win game where you can profit from each other.
Conclusion
I tried to make this Post very simple and not TLDR. I hope this will help you to choose the best for your needs, be it YouTube Shorts TikTok.
