> TikTok had its charms because it was completely mismanaged. The discover feed had a mix between popular (>1M likes) and very unpopular (1-30 likes) videos and very odd videos, like someone slowly crushing a hornet to death inside a syringe, get popular often. Why is that a mismanagement? You said it yourself, it has its charms. (And I agree with you.) What is the goal of discover feed if not to have "its charms"? To the contrary, I think TikTok's discover feed is genius. It is very well managed, and I hope it doesn't change.

That was a bad example. A better one is that TikTok has no consistent guidelines on what videos are allowed on their platform. A video I made with "\actually buys heroin like a boss\" was allowed to stay up on the platform, but then another one with the same text was `Removed for violating Community Guidelines`. Someone I knew had their account taken down for pretending to, well, hump an anime body pillow, and yet they'd been featured in TikTok advertisements months before.
