TikTok plans to “colonize” YouTube Shorts in ‘brain-rot’ app takeover

by

As a dedicated gamer, I’m joining the charge on March 25th. We’re aiming to storm YouTube Shorts with a wave of content that some might call ‘mindless fun’. It’s not just about winning; it’s about showing them what we, the TikTok community, are capable of!

Clearly, it’s well-known that YouTube is putting in significant efforts to promote shorter video content for its users. They’ve even created a dedicated section within their app, much like TikTok’s For You Page, where you can easily browse through these short videos.

Due to TikTok’s ongoing legal struggles in the U.S., YouTube is experiencing an increase in popularity as a potential substitute for content creators looking to expand their reach, should TikTok be banned. However, TikTok users are skeptical that YouTube Shorts can match up to the competition.

Actually, users on TikTok are devising a new strategy to target YouTube Shorts, as they perceive an abundance of bots and spam generated by artificial intelligence in the comments section of the latter app.

TikTokers want to take over YouTube Shorts on March 25

According to TikToker ‘privden2,’ YouTube Shorts is often flooded with uninteresting videos and is popular among those who subscribe to the “dead internet” theory, along with outdated memes that have been around for several months.

He proposed an idea: “Let’s transform YouTube Shorts into a truly outstanding platform.” The initial step would be to bring back the fun and silliness to YouTube Shorts. All we have to do is fill it up with trending humor, and in time, people will start adopting this change.

As a game enthusiast, I’m buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming ‘app clash’, a spectacle that’s stirring quite a stir in the digital world, considering the recent murmurs about the ‘meme scarcity’ of March 2025. It feels like there haven’t been any fresh memes catching fire on social media platforms lately.

The ‘transition’ is set for March 25, 2025, and internet users have started making preparations for the anticipated upheaval within the upcoming ‘TikTok Dynasty.’

Many memes are being created in advance for the arrival of YouTube Shorts, yet critics on YouTube seem unenthusiastic about the upcoming wave of memes.

“TikTok acting as if 50% of the content in there isn’t AI already,” one wrote.

“Saying this like YouTube shorts isn’t already entirely stolen TikTok content,” another argued.

“This is no longer unemployment, this is unemployable,” another joked.

On numerous occasions, TikTok users have united for a shared goal. For instance, during May 2023, many on the platform endeavored to make YouTube sensation MrBeast the most popular creator. Although they didn’t succeed, he now ranks third among them all.
