Ramzy continues, "Like Instagram recently in cloning the features of Tik Tok, YouTube seeks to attract more users to its Shorts service, by imitating the basic features of Tik Tok."
Ramzy explains, “Competitors in the technology market clone the successful experiences created by others is a feature of all social media applications to maintain their user base, attracting more of them to it, and thus maximize profits.”
Despite the popularity of "Tiktok", it has established a reliance on providing new features on a regular basis, but it does not support the creation of money for creators, "YouTube", which is distinguished from all its competitors, by sharing advertising profit with the creators of short videos. .
"YouTube Shorts" are short videos of 60 seconds or less, and the user can share them and get many views and even profit from ads on their short content.
