I'm a TikTok user (sorry) and love the longer educational videos, but over 10 minutes which is the current limit seems excessive in this format. I wanna be able to pause and continue these later which doesn't fit into how TikTok works.

IMO these should be separated into different apps, when I use YouTube I also don't wanna be made to watch their shorts. I wouldn't mind a YT alternative by TikTok โ€“ don't get me wrong they're also a horrible company but it wouldn't harm to have competition by one of the few who could pull it off.
