I feel like it's the opposite. Everything on Reels is either a meme, scam or an ad (be it influencer ad or a blatant one). My theory why Youtube shorts and Instagram Reels turn out this way is that they are attached to an existing network with developed spam/influence markets where's TikTok had to reinvent in and in the progress the culture managed to reduce the obcenity of it. Though, TikTok is getting worse by the day as these markets develop.
