I wouldn't call it better, TikTok isn't presently obligated to care about their market, however. Wheras YouTube recommendations are seen as exploitable by an adversary to undermine ad revenue and platform trust, TikTok has the benefit of being "nascent" with a "runway" to survive without a real business model, on the relative strength of the current user base. This isn't a new frontier, and ByteDance hasn't solved the robustness problem, they're just receiving the going discount on ignoring it. It'll work itself out.
