TikTok is popular because it’s addicting, not because it’s useful, so I don’t understand why anyone would use this.
TikTok is profitable because it is addictive. But the idea that short-form video is less useful than print or radio is flawed.
For the same reason someone would turn on the TV, download a podcast, or pick up a magazine.
If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. It seems like an idea worth trying. What is there to lose?
