It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. On one hand, YouTube has an existing userbase to tap into, on the other, it will be hard to jostle into TikTok's niche, and Google hasn't had much luck with social endeavors.

It's crammed into regular youtube so basically a fraction of the videos you watch play weirdly and loop without you asking for it.

I hated it. I'm just waiting for YouTube Vanced to add a feature for us disable it.

It'll be pretty ironic if this lives longer than some of Google's other products...
