TikTok is popular for the same reason why Facebook was super popular back in the day; constantly checking for new short videos is akin to constantly checking for new status updates, new photo uploads and new DMs but now all that Facebook activity dissolved into various platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. On top of that it is easier for content creators to create short videos than for example 20 min long YouTube videos meaning barrier to entry is much lower. Also teens and young people in general say that their parents and grandparents moved to Facebook because of which they do not feel comfortable doing all the shenanigans on the Facebook anymore. Zuckerberg was genius and cursed at the same time because he created social network for everything or in another words for general content(text, photos, videos etc.) but he didn't specialize in any until recently when he and his team started paying attention to each and every of this content category.
