I checked out the new Instagram videos for the making of products and was disappointed. They went too fast and were too narrow to gain any concept of how things are done. YouTube is a far better format for this with the time, natural speed, and wide format and can, therefore, be vastly more informative. Back a number of years ago, it's how "Maker Moments" was done, and it was an excellent series. Is it not possible to go back to YouTube? (I don't mean with their new "shorts.")

I have to agree with you, and I always wondered why TikTok used the narrow format to begin with.

Don't see how to enter TT without adding all of my information - so do not see the recent posts by Zazzle.

I agree - the former YouTube posts were much more friendly to access.

I just checked, and the largest number of Instagram users are young females, 18 to 34. and those for TikTok are younger than that. YouTube's viewership is in a much broader age range from very young to very old and so reigns supreme in reaching the broadest demographic.

I hope Zazzle considers using YT once again with its higher capabilities and broader age range. Who knows? Maybe they're already looking at it. Everyone I know, both old and young, watches YouTube.
