I think part of what makes TikTok recommendations addictive is that since the content is so short, it's harder to get fatigued by bad recommendations. If I get recommended just a couple bad YouTube videos that are several minutes long even if I abandon partway through, it's easier to give up.

YT recommendations are just dumb, I was listening a music video and it always recommended me some song I disliked, so I hit dislike on the video but YT ignored it. I have no idea why the AI would recommend that video, it was not same genre of music maybe the visuals were similar so maybe their algorithm is biased for visuals and not for genre/content.
