Tiktok or YouTube, which pays the most?

I think it's a bit unfair to compare TikTok and YouTube. TikTok is more of a social app, where you can share videos with your friends, while YouTube is more of a video platform.

YouTube has higher audience engagement. You can watch videos on YouTube for free and even make money by selling your own videos on the platform. On the other hand, TikTok only pays you if people like your video or comment on it.

YouTube offers a wide variety of video content — including music videos, gaming clips and comedy skits — so it's no surprise that people love using the site as much as they do. But while TikTok offers all these things too (and more), it doesn't have the same reach as YouTube does when it comes to overall engagement levels or total number of hours watched per month across all platforms combined. Personally, I feel YouTube pays more than Tiktok. What do you think about this?

Youtube has $100 million in its creators' funds, whereas Tiktok has $70 million. Youtube has an ad-based monetization feature, TikTok is also trying to roll out this feature but it is not yet available. You can enable git options on your videos to make money on Tiktok but there are criteria to fulfill. Therefore, you have a high chance of making money on youtube compared to tiktok. Tiktok is just an entertainment-based platform, people don't go to tiktok to lern something new, they go to have fun. but youtube is a platform for entertainment, information, as well as education. Therefore, youtube has more value compared to tiktok. Even though toktok pioneered short video formats. youtube shorts are so very popular and content creators can earn from their short videos without adsense approval and without any followers. The only thing that tiktok has which is not available on youtube is the gift option.
