It wouldn't be so bad if the content wasn't an army of attention and money-seeking influencers. Those influencers will burn out once the truth about the creator funds finally wears them out. Tiktok also encourages parroting information, and that leads to corruption of information. They really need to create more niches than the one channel they're runing to thrive. But imagine a TikTok UI on something like Ted Talks, where you could scroll through a variety of speeches until you land on the one you want... Or even Netflix implementing that for movies, or YouTube for music videos. It would finally create a new way of finding new things quickly. There is great benefits to TikTok's method when done properly. The question is whether or not creators will be properly paid or not... For news I'd probably rather scroll through well composed story intros to find what I want to hear more about than to watch an entire show these days to be honest. Once I find something I like then I can give it more attention. I used to wait through commercial breaks just to hear vital news, now it's much easier to just go to CNN and get pelted by pop-up ads on mobile... hah.
