Short content, endless feed, catchy music to grab attention, watching a tiktok counts as liking it algowise which promotes attention grabbing. Owned by ccp. There’s probably more but that’s off the top of my head.

I asked about what aspects of the platform, not the content which is platform agnostic. You literally didn’t give any aspects of platform. You talked about the content, which is platform agnostic, and then you lied about its ownership.

Most of my points are about the platform not the content.

Short content - tiktok had a min video length until recently. Because of this the average video is 30s

Endless feed - tiktok has an endless scrolling feed

Tiktok has an algorithm that serves you videos you are likely to watch. This promotes attention grabbing content. This also is a repeating cycle since you are served attention grabbing content then if that content grabs your attention tiktok serves you more.

It is owned by a Chinese company and Chinese companies are beholden to the ccp.
