4. Yes. Clearly that's true.

I watched quite a range of the short videos. My problem is that they are too short to hold a complete story about something. I caught onto the copycat nature of the venue pretty quickly, but couldn't see the attraction of dozens of people trying to illustrate how to do some short dance or something.

There were also some fishing videos, some maker videos, etc., but those, too, suffered from their short duration - too short to learn anything from watching them.

I know it's not targeted to any demographic I'm part of, but I'm pretty flexible. Still, I did not find anything with enough value to keep me coming back for more. I didn't even find a topic or topics I could favor to shift the focus of the site. I just wasn't interested enough in any particular type of video to invest the time.

Now, of course, someone is going to tell me that it is a terrible, invasive website that just want's my data. Like that isn't the goal of every social media website on the Internet already...
