I take TikTok is just an example and that this applies equally as well to other social media like Instagram/FB/Youtube? Or is there anything particularly notori

  I'm not a behavioral expert, and I don't use tiktok, but I know people who do use it daily, almost as soon as they wake up even. I think the speed and short blasts of visual information acts as sort of a desensitizer to certain content, like if I said to you, in short 5 second bursts "facts", you might retain the 35th "fact" and not question it because you're already on the 50th "fact". I often am told certain things that might or might not be true, but are often couched in true things. The one i heard the other day was a long list of mandela effects, now some of them were true, but often had context around them that wasn't given ... e.g. Pikachu not having the black stripe on its tail, that could easily have context with regards to time that picture was used, lore in pokemon..etc. but it's reduced to a far more simple "fact"
