TikTok is competitive in a different way, not by price but by speed. Trends burn in days, so you compete against production teams, not just individuals.

TikTok feels brutal lately. So much noise.

One of the most competitive platforms right now is TikTok, due to its saturated content space and fast-changing trends, making it hard to stand out. YouTube is also highly competitive because of high production standards and long-term consistency required

Right now I find short-form video platforms (especially TikTok and Instagram Reels) the most competitive because so many creators are chasing reach there. The formats reward strong hooks and retention, so basic content gets buried fast. That means you often need higher quality or more tailored ideas just to break through compared to older feed-based platforms. Curious what others think too!
